Taya Bassett , NCPS

Taya Bassett works from evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She uses straightforward conversations to address relationship strains, low self-esteem, motivation and life changes. Taya describes a calm and respectful manner in sessions and aims to create a steady space for people to talk through concerns.

She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. That background includes helping people with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and compassion fatigue. Taya also supports those facing parenting pressures, sleep problems, career uncertainty and intimacy-related difficulties.

Her additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment and blended family issues. She also works with people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence. These topics are approached sensitively and without judgement.

In sessions Taya tailors the conversation to each person’s needs and goals. She will listen, reflect, and suggest practical steps to try between meetings. Sessions aim to build coping skills, clearer communication and more reliable routines.

Taya invites people to take the first step when they feel ready. Her style is steady and practical, and she supports clients as they try new ways of handling old problems.

Therapeutic methods and online support

Many people find structured, evidence-based techniques helpful for clear problems and patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps when worry, negative self-talk or avoidance get in the way of daily life.

Another frequently used approach centres on improving communication and emotional awareness. It teaches ways to notice feelings, express them clearly and manage conflict more calmly, which can help with relationship and intimacy issues. Both approaches emphasise small, doable changes rather than big leaps.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what has and hasn’t helped before, and try approaches that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and other daily pressures.
