About Diana
Counsellor Diana Gunner is a BACP member with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, eating and parenting issues, anger, life changes and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Diana describes her work as integrative. She draws on client-centred methods, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques to shape short-term work. She often offers brief courses of therapy when someone prefers a time-limited way of addressing a problem.
In practice she helps people find words for hard feelings and make sense of thoughts and behaviours. That may mean learning coping strategies for panic or anxiety, talking through bereavement and loss, or looking at how past relationships affect present feelings. She also has experience with baby loss, infertility and menopause-related concerns.
Sessions are usually practical and conversational. A typical course is around six sessions, though that can vary by need. She uses an approach that can include noticing patterns, exploring choices and trying small changes between sessions.
Diana asks people to choose the See online counselling options button to begin. There is a short matching questionnaire to complete before booking a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. It is useful for low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general emotional distress because it prioritises the person's perspective.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from earlier life that repeat in the present. It can help when past losses, attachment issues or repeating relationship difficulties are getting in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree together what methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, cut out travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also mean not needing to be on camera for every session, which some people prefer for low-bandwidth or quieter check-in reasons.
