Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people make small, steady changes. Diana has particular experience with parenting, family and relationship matters, and with life transitions such as bereavement, separation and ageing concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and issues around identity and intimacy.
Work may include improving communication, managing anger, and building self‑worth. Her background includes a BA honours degree in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s degree in psychology. Those qualifications inform a thoughtful, evidence-informed practice.
She adapts methods from cognitive behavioural approaches, solution-focused work and systems thinking to fit each person’s goals. Diana aims to create a respectful space where people can talk openly and explore options. She helps clients set realistic steps and develop skills they can use between sessions.
The focus is on practical progress alongside greater self‑understanding.
Approaches that guide online therapy choices
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, offering a supportive space where the counsellor listens and helps the client make their own choices. It works well for building self-esteem, exploring identity and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for stress, anxiety and mood concerns because it gives concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that suit the person and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in and messaging supports ongoing contact between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
