About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She uses a person-centred approach and focuses on helping people navigate stressful life events and changes. Diane aims to make sessions respectful and compassionate, and she tailors the work to each person's needs.

People come to Diane for help with relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, infidelity and family conflict. She also supports those coping with anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement. She has experience with issues linked to trauma and abuse, and with people affected by near-death experiences related to illness or medical intervention.

Diane also works with concerns such as addictions, low self-esteem, problems with sleep and eating, and stress from caregiving or chronic illness. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, sexual wellbeing including kink and BDSM culture, and issues around intimacy and commitment.

Sessions are adapted to what the individual needs on any given day. Diane listens first and then helps people decide which steps to try next. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people notice thinking and everyday habits that maintain distress, and to find alternatives that feel manageable.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through problems and plan workable changes for everyday life.

How Diane uses a person-centred approach online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person leads the conversation. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and everyday habits, and supports them to try small, manageable changes. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, stress, low mood and grief by prioritising what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane collaborates with each person to learn what feels helpful and what does not. Together they review progress and adjust the focus as goals or needs shift over time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make follow-up meetings or short check-ins simpler, and they may be easier to schedule around work or caregiving commitments. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
