About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on six years of experience supporting people through difficult life phases. She works from a person-centred approach and aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can talk things through at their own pace.

Diane regularly helps people managing stress, anxiety, low mood and depression. She also supports those facing relationship breakdowns, separation, divorce and the ripple effects of infidelity. Grief, bereavement and other forms of loss are part of her practice too.

Her work includes helping people cope with trauma and abuse, and with the practical and emotional fallout of major health events. She has experience with individuals touched by near-death experiences, including those related to illness or medical interventions.

Diane is comfortable addressing issues around addiction, eating, body image, intimacy and sexual wellbeing, including kink and alternative sexual culture. She also offers support for people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and problems with focus or attention such as ADHD.

Sessions are tailored around each person’s priorities. Diane listens without judgement and helps clients find their own ways forward. The emphasis is on clear conversation, practical steps and steady emotional support as people work through change.

How Diane’s client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and creating a respectful space for people to talk. The therapist offers understanding and reflects what someone says so they can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and grieving processes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which ways of working suit the person best. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people more choice about where and when they speak with a therapist, which can help maintain continuity of support during life changes.
