About Dinah
Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and depression. She speaks plainly and offers calm, conversational sessions that aim to reduce overwhelm and help people find steadier ground. Dinah works with adults who are ready to make changes and wants clients to feel heard from the first meeting.
Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, so sessions focus on the client's experience and priorities.
Background and approach
Dinah also draws on ideas from psychodynamic work and cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor each session. She keeps sessions relaxed and free of pressure, creating space to talk through what feels hardest. Dinah believes people already have strengths to build on.
She helps clients notice those strengths and apply them to everyday challenges like workplace stress, social anxiety, isolation, or struggles with self-worth. Practical conversation and small, manageable steps are common features of her work. She has five years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Dinah supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and fatherhood issues. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental, while staying focused on the changes the client wants to make. People can expect a collaborative style that adapts to their needs.
Dinah helps clients set goals and reviews progress together, balancing emotional processing with practical strategies for daily life.
How Dinah uses client-focused approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the client's perspective and choices. Sessions focus on listening, understanding feelings, and helping the client make their own decisions. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries and feeling overwhelmed.Dinah also blends in psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. These methods help with issues such as social anxiety, guilt and workplace stress by combining emotional insight with small behavioural steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dinah collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and situation. She reviews progress together and adjusts the focus as needed, so the plan grows out of what the client finds helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can fit into a busy day and needs less bandwidth, while messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to work on anxiety and other concerns from different locations and routines.
