About Dinah
Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulty, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Dinah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Dinah’s style is warm and conversational. Sessions are relaxed and aimed at making it easier to talk about what matters.
Background and approach
She believes people know their own story and brings a non-judgemental presence to help uncover strengths people can use. The tone in sessions is supportive and practical rather than clinical. Her approach is holistic and client-centred.
That means listening closely, reflecting back what is important, and following the person’s pace. Dinah draws on a mix of ideas to tailor the work, keeping things focused on what a person wants to change or understand. People can expect short, clear conversations about goals and next steps.
Dinah pays attention to everyday problems like workplace stress, parenting pressures and social anxiety, and also to deeper issues such as trauma, shame and self-harm thoughts. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions give space to explore feelings, notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Dinah encourages practical steps and small experiments between meetings. She supports people as they work towards greater self-compassion, clearer boundaries and more balanced relationships.
