About Taya
Taya Bassett is a counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based help for common life struggles. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Taya has five years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential.
Taya aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to the client and to agree small, achievable steps forward.
Background and approach
In sessions clients can expect clear goals and gentle accountability. Taya helps people handle change, grief, anger and problems that affect sleep or intimacy. She also supports those facing addiction, trauma, caregiver stress and issues linked to adoption, attachment and blended families.
Practical techniques are offered to build coping skills and improve communication. Work often focuses on day-to-day routines, ways to manage strong emotions and strategies for rebuilding confidence. Taya explains options and adapts the approach as progress is made.
Taya works with people from across the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She encourages anyone who feels overwhelmed or stuck to take a small step and explore what support might look like for them.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people identify thought and behaviour patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, then practise small changes to reduce their impact. This is useful for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Another approach emphasises improving communication and relationships by teaching clear, achievable ways to express needs and set boundaries. That work is helpful for family tensions, intimacy issues and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options in plain language, and try methods that fit your situation. Adjustments are made as you notice what helps and what does not, so the plan evolves together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to match different lives. Video lets you have a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing helps you organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and caregiving routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
