Dinah Knox-Hooke , BACP

Dinah Knox-Hooke offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. She is Dinah and she works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by holding everything together. She writes plainly and listens fully as a counsellor who values each person's story.

Dinah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She has five years' experience supporting people through difficult times. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths that can be used to move forward.

Her style is calm and conversational. Sessions are relaxed with no pressure and space to talk. Dinah uses a person-centred way of working, which means she follows the client and responds to what matters most in the room.

She draws on ideas from psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural approaches when helpful. Those methods are used flexibly to match each person's needs rather than as a fixed plan. The focus is practical - making small changes that feel manageable.

Dinah pays attention to the whole of a person's life rather than just symptoms. She supports people dealing with shame, isolation, attachment or communication problems, workplace stress, and concerns linked to women's issues. Her aim is to offer steady support while people find more balance and purpose.

Sessions are presented in an approachable way, helping people take the next steps without judgement. Dinah offers a steady presence for those ready to begin that work.

How person-centred counselling works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers active listening, empathy and acceptance while you lead the pace and topics. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, depression, relationship worries and feelings of isolation by creating space to be heard and understood.

Dinah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that affect present relationships, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to try small practical changes in thinking and behaviour. These approaches are used as helpful options rather than fixed rules, so the therapist and client decide together what to try first.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dinah will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means discussing what feels useful and adjusting the plan as things change.

Online sessions can be more flexible for people juggling work, family or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make regular work more achievable and allow therapy to fit around daily life.
