About Dinah
Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor who helps people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She offers calm, conversational sessions where people can speak openly without pressure. Dinah encourages clients to use their own strengths when making change and supports them as they take small steps forward.
She uses a holistic, tailored approach rather than a single fixed method. Dinah draws on Client-Centred Therapy along with ideas from psychodynamic work and cognitive behavioural techniques to shape sessions around each person’s needs.
Background and approach
That means practical conversations about patterns, feelings and small experiments to try between meetings. Dinah has five years' experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. Her background includes supporting people who struggle with abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and feelings of isolation or shame.
Sessions are relaxed and conversational. Dinah aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and start to carry less emotional weight. She also helps with workplace stress, questions of life purpose, and issues around self-love and forgiveness.
People can expect practical, paced work that adapts as they change. Dinah accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, using formats that fit busy lives such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging.

Approaches Dinah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Dinah also brings in elements from psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques when useful. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeating patterns and emotional roots of current problems. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical steps and experiments to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or shift unhelpful thoughts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the work over time so it stays relevant and realistic.
Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different places, phone work can be used when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to reflect in writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, while still allowing steady progress over time.
