About Diane
Counsellor Diane Sullivan is a UK-based counsellor and a member of NCPS with six years' experience working with people facing life changes and difficult events. She helps with relationship problems, separation and divorce, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression and low mood, and other challenges listed in her practice areas. Diane also has experience with people affected by near-death experiences related to illness or medical emergencies.
Diane works from a person-centred approach, often called Client-Centred Therapy. In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people talk through what matters to them. She aims to understand each person's situation and to reflect that back in plain terms so they can make their own choices.
Sessions cover practical concerns as well as strong feelings. Diane will help people look at relationship patterns, communication problems, and the practical effects of grief, addiction or health issues. She also supports those dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image and intimacy-related concerns, and challenges linked to caregiving or chronic illness.
Diane can discuss how current life stresses affect sleep, eating, work and family roles. She is familiar with issues such as codependency, control problems, dissociation and compulsive behaviours. Where appropriate she will work at the pace each person needs and focus on what they want to change.
People considering counselling will be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and to book a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Diane uses Client-Centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing the outcome and reflects back what they hear. This approach helps with emotional issues such as grief, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties by giving people space to make sense of their feelings.Working this way can also help with practical problems. For example, talking about communication or caregiving demands can lead to clearer choices and steps to try. Diane's person-centred stance aims to support people as they decide what feels most helpful for them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and she will help choose how to proceed. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as needs change.
The therapist's listed profile does not specify session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or mobility limits, and some formats suit brief check-ins while others allow longer sessions or face-to-face style interaction. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which option fits practical needs and routine commitments.
