About Diana

Diana Gunner is a counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy less frightening. She works in the United Kingdom and offers approachable support for people feeling overwhelmed. Diana uses clear, straightforward language so clients can talk about what matters most to them.

Diana has four years of experience as a BACP member. She draws on a mix of client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to shape sessions around each person.

Background and approach

That means sessions can explore past patterns, focus on present feelings, or look for small practical changes that help now. People come to Diana with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, eating and parenting worries, anger and major life changes.

Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, attachment and abandonment, blended family pressures, fertility and baby loss related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Diana can work with international clients. She typically offers short-term counselling, often around six sessions, and adapts the pace to each person.

The style is warm and non-judgemental, with a focus on helping people find clarity and practical ways to cope. If someone prefers a brief therapy plan or simply needs time to understand overwhelming feelings, Diana aims to provide steady support. She helps people name their concerns, try new approaches and make small steps towards calmer day-to-day life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support

Diana uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. This approach suits those who need space to speak openly and be heard while working through emotional concerns.

She also draws on solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps that can make daily life easier. This is useful when someone wants brief, goal-orientated work to change a specific problem or routine related to parenting or stress.

Deciding which way of working will help most is part of the early sessions. Diana will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will pick an approach or mix that fits. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as things change.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for short check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can find a format that suits their routine and helps them keep therapy going.
