About Diane
Diane Sullivan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers support to people navigating major life changes and emotional challenges. She uses a person-centred way of working and brings six years of practical experience to conversations about anxiety, grief, depression and relationship breakdowns. She listens with patience and without judgement.
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, not a fixed checklist. Diane aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through painful events and figure out next steps at their own pace.
Background and approach
Diane often helps people coping with separation, bereavement, loss and the aftermath of trauma. She has experience supporting those affected by near-death experiences linked to illness or medical care. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, work stress and addiction are also part of her work.
People who contact her may be dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, intimacy and body-image worries. She also addresses anger, low self-esteem, communication problems and the strain of caregiving. Parenting is one of the areas she lists among her focuses, so she can help parents with related stresses and decisions.
Diane holds the NCPS credential. She offers sessions in English and provides a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy is arranged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and international clients are not accepted.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful, non-judgemental listening and on helping people find their own steps forward. In practice this looks like the therapist reflecting what you say, asking gentle questions and offering steady presence while you decide what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, relationship breakdowns and life changes.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Diane will discuss how a person-centred method might fit your goals and preferences, and together you can adjust the approach over time. That collaborative planning helps make sure sessions are relevant and useful for the issues you bring.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections or times when typing feels most comfortable. These options can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school or caring responsibilities.
