About Taya
Taya Bassett works with people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She is listed with the NCPS and has five years of professional experience. Taya aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.
She helps people deal with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Sleeping problems are also part of her focus when they link to stress, anxiety or life transitions. Taya adapts conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
In sessions she listens and asks practical questions to uncover what’s getting in the way of better rest, clearer thinking or healthier relationships. She works with grief, trauma and addictions with care, and supports people who are coping with caregiver stress, cancer or major life shifts. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at small, manageable changes.
Taya also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, career worries and compassion fatigue. She can help with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, and body image or guilt and shame. Where sleep is affected, she looks at routines and stressed thinking that might be keeping rest out of reach.
Clients start by talking about immediate problems and set short-term goals together. Over time the focus can shift to rebuilding confidence, improving communication or finding routines that support better sleep and daily functioning.
Approaches that help with rest, relationships and stress
Brief descriptions here draw on common evidence-based techniques that Taya uses in practice. One approach focuses on identifying stressful thought patterns and replacing them with clearer, more balanced thinking; this can help reduce anxiety and make it easier to sleep. Another approach looks at practical routine and behaviour changes - small shifts in daily habits that support better rest, mood and functioning. These methods are used to tackle issues such as grief, trauma-related sleep disruption, and ongoing stress.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then suggest ways to try different techniques together. This means plans can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helpful.
The original profile does not list session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes, while still enabling the practical conversations and routine work that support better sleep and day-to-day coping.
