About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a qualified counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works from a person-centred approach and supports people facing major life changes, relationship breakdowns, anxiety, depression and loss.

She helps people dealing with separation, divorce and infidelity. She also works with those coping with family conflict, trauma and bereavement. Diane has experience supporting people affected by near-death experiences linked to illness or medical emergencies.

Sessions focus on listening and exploring what matters to the individual. Diane uses a client-centred style that keeps the person's priorities in view. Conversations are paced to fit what the person can manage at the time.

She also works with issues around addiction, codependency, intimacy and sexual expression, including BDSM and kink concerns. Other areas she covers include stress, grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image and self-esteem.

People may bring concerns about career stress, ADHD, anger, sleeping and eating problems, or feelings of emptiness and dissociation. Diane aims to address practical day-to-day struggles alongside deeper relational patterns.

To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How sessions work

How Diane's client-centred approach works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects understanding, helps people set their own pace, and supports exploration of relationships, loss and life transitions. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship problems, grief and issues linked to long-term stress.

Sessions are collaborative. Diane will work with the person to decide what to focus on and how to proceed. Plans are adjusted from session to session so the approach fits the person's needs and goals rather than following a fixed script.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact alongside daily responsibilities.
