About Dinah

Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict and trauma and abuse. She talks simply and calmly so clients can say what matters. Dinah encourages people to notice their strengths while they work through hard feelings and painful experiences.

She offers a warm, non-judgemental presence and keeps sessions relaxed and conversational. Dinah believes the person knows their own story best and she helps them make sense of it at their own pace.

Background and approach

She aims to support and empower people as they take steps towards change. Dinah brings a holistic way of working and adapts each session to the person in front of her. Her practice draws on person-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural techniques.

That mix means she can listen closely while also offering practical tools when helpful. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she uses as a professional reference. Dinah has five years of experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns, including issues around attachment, abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation, self-harm, and self-love.

Sessions can be used to talk through communication problems, workplace stress, fatherhood worries, social anxiety, or to consider life purpose and forgiveness. Dinah works with adults and young people, and she aims to make therapy feel manageable and steady rather than overwhelming.

Ways of working Dinah names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Dinah’s approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting and empathic space where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, to explore painful memories, or to sort out confusing emotions such as those that follow trauma or relationship problems.

Dinah also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to offer simple, practical skills for managing anxiety and low mood. Together these approaches allow conversations to stay grounded while also offering tools to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dinah will talk through your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as you progress or as different needs come up.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls give a face-to-face feel; phone sessions work well when you need less bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short reflections, notes between sessions, or people who prefer written conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules shift.
