About Dinah

Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and depression. She works in a warm, conversational way and aims to make therapy feel approachable. Dinah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change. Sessions are relaxed and conversational with no pressure, giving people space to talk and be heard.

Background and approach

Dinah offers steady support as someone makes steps towards feeling better. Dinah uses a flexible, whole-person approach. She draws most often on client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person.

That means the room focuses on the person's experience while also looking at patterns and practical ways to manage difficult feelings. Common themes she helps with include abandonment and attachment concerns, communication and control issues, fatherhood matters, guilt, shame and forgiveness. She also supports people facing loneliness, life purpose questions, social anxiety, workplace stress and women’s issues.

Dinah has five years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and can work with people internationally. Sessions can be arranged by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person's needs.

Her style aims to make therapy feel manageable. People who are exhausted from holding everything together can find a space to share the load and begin practical steps towards change.

Client-centred care and online counselling options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without judgment and reflects what is said, helping people feel understood and clearer about their choices. This approach can help with relationship issues, self-worth, loneliness and decisions about life purpose.

Dinah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat and on cognitive behavioural techniques for practical coping strategies. These approaches are offered in a collaborative way so the person and counsellor agree what feels most helpful. Finding the right mix is part of the work and she will check in and adapt the approach to match goals and preferences.

Online therapy gives a range of practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work when a session needs less bandwidth or to fit a short check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want more frequent brief contact, or cannot be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments and support ongoing progress from wherever the person is located.
