About Diane
Diane Sullivan is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience and the NCPS credential. She works with people facing life changes and challenges such as relationship breakdowns, separation, grief, anxiety, depression and low mood.
She meets people who have been affected by trauma and abuse, and those dealing with addiction or chronic illness. Diane also supports people with concerns about intimacy, body image, parenting pressures, work stress and issues connected to ADHD or compassion fatigue.
Her main approach is person-centred therapy. That means sessions focus on the client's perspective and priorities. Diane listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own direction rather than imposing a set plan.
In practical terms she helps people talk through communication and commitment problems, attachment and abandonment questions, and the fallout from separation or divorce. She also works with those exploring alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink, and with people navigating bereavement or the emotional impact of near-death experiences.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded. Diane offers space to name what is hard, look at options, and try small changes that feel manageable. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether this person-centred way of working fits how they want to approach their concerns.
How client-centred approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy emphasises listening to the client's experience and following their concerns. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, checks understanding, and helps the client set the pace and topics for sessions. It can be helpful for anxiety, relationship questions, grief and many everyday stresses.That way of working is collaborative. The counsellor and client work together to find an approach that feels right. If a particular method or focus does not fit, they review it and try something different based on the client's goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. The profile does not spell out formats, so check which options are offered and choose what best fits your life. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins, or offer sessions without the need to travel. Different formats can suit different needs - for example shorter phone check-ins when you have limited time, or video sessions when visual connection helps the conversation.
