About Diana
Diana Gunner is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less frightening and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what is worrying them.
Diana meets people where they are and helps them put words to hard emotions when those words are hard to find. She supports people who bring a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, trauma and bereavement.
Background and approach
Practical problems such as parenting strain, eating and relationship difficulties are also within her experience. Diana has worked with issues related to fertility, baby loss and menopause as part of her practice. Diana uses an integrative approach, drawing mainly on client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques.
She adapts each session to the person in front of her, combining short-term strategies with space to reflect on longer patterns. Sessions are aimed at helping people cope better and make clearer choices in everyday life. Her usual offer is short-term counselling, typically around six sessions, tailored to individual needs.
She describes her style as warm and open, and she aims to help people take practical steps towards the life they want. International clients and English speakers can work with her via online formats. Diana encourages people to be gentle with themselves when seeking help and offers steady support while they work through change and uncertainty.
How Diana's approaches translate to online therapy
Diana uses client-centred work and solution-focused therapy in her online practice. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person in front of the counsellor - the conversation follows what matters most to the client and aims to increase self-understanding and emotional expression. This can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed.Solution-focused therapy emphasises small, practical steps and short-term goals. It looks for what is already working and builds brief strategies to manage stress or adjust routines, which is useful for coping with life changes and focused problems like parenting strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Diana will discuss options, hear about goals and preferences, and agree a way forward that feels comfortable. That collaborative decision can mix reflective listening with direct problem-solving depending on the person's needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written conversation. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the therapeutic relationship consistent.
