About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She uses a person-centred approach and aims to offer a calm, respectful space for people facing difficult changes. Diane speaks English and works with adults by online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Diane focuses on practical concerns that often feel overwhelming. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression. She also supports those navigating relationship problems, separation and divorce, grief and bereavement, and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse.

She works with people struggling with addictions, eating or sleeping problems, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image and codependency. Diane is also experienced with concerns linked to abandonment and attachment, and alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

In sessions she adopts a person-centred style that places the client’s perspective at the centre of the work. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and pace, with an emphasis on listening first and then finding practical ways forward together.

Diane recognises how frightening change can be and aims to offer steady, non-judgemental support. People who prefer a straightforward, empathetic listener and clear next steps may find her approach helpful. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How person-centred therapy works online

Diane primarily uses a person-centred approach. This method focuses on listening closely to the person and reflecting back what matters most to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and adjusting to life changes by giving people space to make sense of their feelings.

The therapist will tailor sessions to the individual rather than imposing a set plan. Discovering the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Diane works with clients to clarify goals, try different ways of working, and adjust the approach to match needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when video is not practical. Live chat and text messaging can be easier to fit around a busy day and allow paced, ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while juggling work, family or mobility constraints.
