Dinah Knox-Hooke

Dinah Knox-Hooke is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Dinah also focuses on life purpose, attachment and communication problems among other issues. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Dinah views each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions are relaxed and conversational, with a focus on listening and helping clients notice their strengths. She uses a person-centred stance to create a straightforward space for talking through difficult feelings and decisions.

In practice she draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix helps when someone wants to understand recurring patterns, manage symptoms day to day, or explore how past experiences shape present choices. Dinah aims to keep sessions practical and grounded rather than theoretical.

She is experienced supporting people facing family conflict, workplace strain, social anxiety, and issues around guilt, shame or abandonment. Dinah also works with those dealing with self-harm thoughts and struggles with self-love, and she supports men with fatherhood concerns.

Costs vary with location and sessions are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the client lead the conversation. It is useful for people who feel unsure about their next steps, want to understand their feelings, or need a steady listening ear while they make changes.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and how past relationships influence current behaviour. This can help when someone notices the same conflicts repeating in work or family life and wants to understand why they keep happening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dinah will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as the client’s situation changes.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, which can reduce bandwidth needs and make sessions less demanding visually.
