About Taya
Taya Bassett draws on five years of practice to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with concerns such as low self-esteem, coping with life changes, motivation and confidence. Taya aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can take the first steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
Her approach is collaborative and adapted to each person. She listens to what matters most and shapes conversations and plans around those priorities.
Background and approach
This means sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding the feelings behind behaviours. Taya has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related worries. She also helps with parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.
Practical problem solving and rebuilding routines are common themes in her work. She offers guidance around family and communication problems, including blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress. Taya addresses topics such as guilt, shame, control and commitment worries in straightforward terms.
People can expect conversations that are direct yet kind, with goals set together and reviewed as progress is made. Taya tailors sessions to the person’s needs and pace, helping them practise new ways of coping between meetings. Located in the United Kingdom, she conducts work in English and frames therapy as a step-by-step process.
The emphasis is on helping people feel more able to manage daily life and relationships over time.

How Taya works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This conversation is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, avoid travel time and keep regular appointments during life changes. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed, or meetings that do not require being on camera if that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these flexible arrangements to help people maintain momentum between sessions.
