About Dinah
Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor who helps people tackling stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, family conflict, trauma and depression. She works with clients who are wrestling with feelings of isolation, guilt, shame or searching for life purpose. Dinah welcomes conversations about workplace strain, attachment and communication problems, and issues around self-harm and self‑love.
She uses a gentle, person-centred way of working that puts each person's story first. Sessions are relaxed and conversational, with space to talk and time to reflect. Dinah treats people as the expert on their lives and helps them notice strengths they already have.
Her approach is holistic and tailored. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside ideas from psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches to shape what happens in sessions. That means practical techniques and room to explore deeper patterns, depending on what the client needs.
Dinah is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. She has five years of experience working with the concerns listed above and supports adults navigating change and recovery.
People seeking help begin by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Dinah works with people in the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used, which can be cancelled at any time.
How Client-Centred Therapy and online support work together
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and accepting the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and understood while they name what matters most to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and feeling stuck.Dinah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, and on cognitive behavioural techniques for practical coping skills. Psychodynamic work can help when past relationships affect present choices, while cognitive approaches offer tools for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Finding the right approach is a gradual, collaborative process. Dinah will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try different ways of working until something fits. The aim is to match methods to the client's goals and preferences rather than using a single fixed plan.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and avoiding travel time. Online options can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to continue therapy across moves or different time zones.
