Dianne Taylor, NCPS

Dianne Taylor is a UK-based person-centred counsellor with seven years of professional experience working in both the charity sector and private practice, including group work in mental health settings. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised counselling qualification that reflects her training in client-focused care. Dianne specialises in supporting people through a wide range of concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, motivation difficulties, and the long-term effects of childhood experiences that emerge in adulthood.

Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s unique needs. She offers unconditional positive regard while listening, supporting, and empowering clients as they work through pressing issues, and brings a toolkit of skills and therapeutic techniques to the process. Clients say they feel relaxed with her quickly and are able to open up easily, which helps create momentum for change. Dianne welcomes people taking the courageous step of seeking help and is committed to guiding them toward clearer thinking, greater confidence, and improved coping with life’s challenges. She looks forward to meeting prospective clients and exploring how to best support their journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dianne draws on client-centred therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the client’s concerns and goals steer the work; this approach helps people who need validation, empathy, and a collaborative relationship while they process emotional difficulties. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking values-driven action - a useful method for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Attachment-based work is used when early relationship patterns affect adult connections and emotional regulation, helping clients explore and reshape relational expectations and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dianne works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions and tools to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or distance. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
