About Dinah
Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. Dinah also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control problems, and fatherhood issues.
Dinah uses a client-centred approach as the core of her work. She listens with attention and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while talking through painful or confusing experiences.
Clients can expect practical discussion about what is causing stress at home and straightforward ideas to try between meetings. Dinah also talks through emotional patterns linked to guilt, shame, isolation, or past hurt. She aims to make space for honesty about difficult feelings without pressure.
Her background includes five years of counselling practice and membership of the BACP. This means she works within professional standards set by that body. Dinah supports people who want clearer communication in relationships, help with workplace stress, or assistance facing past abuse.
She offers help in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and any local considerations. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service button.
How sessions work
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and treating the person as the expert on their own life. It involves the therapist reflecting what they hear, asking open questions, and letting the client set the pace. This approach can help with concerns linked to relationships, family strain, anxiety and low mood.The idea of finding the right approach is part of the process. Dinah will work with the client to decide which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people in different countries to work with a UK-based therapist who offers sessions in English.
