About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a UK-based counsellor who draws on six years' experience to support people facing difficult life changes. She holds NCPS and works from a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of every session. Diane aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and begin to find clearer ways forward.

She helps people dealing with relationship breakdowns, separation and divorce, and the fallout from infidelity. She also works with those coping with family conflict, grief and bereavement, and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. Anxiety, low mood and stress are also common areas she addresses.

Diane has experience with people affected by near-death experiences linked to illness, medical events or emergencies. She supports those struggling with addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and work-related strain. She is also familiar with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Her person-centred way of working means sessions focus on the person in front of her. Diane listens without judgement and encourages clients to set their own goals. She adapts pace and content so conversations feel manageable and focused on practical next steps.

People can expect straightforward, empathetic conversations and help to make sense of their situation. Diane supports exploration of feelings, clearer decision-making and small, practical changes that fit everyday life.

How Diane's Person-Centred Approach Works Online

Diane practices a person-centred style that focuses on the individual's experience. This approach involves attentive listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, helping people clarify feelings and priorities. It is often helpful for relationship issues, anxiety, grief and coping with life changes.

The therapy process is collaborative. Diane will work with the client to decide what feels most useful, adjusting pace and topics as goals emerge. Finding the right approach is part of the work together rather than a fixed choice made at the first session.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a familiar setting or who need a flexible schedule. Diane will discuss practical arrangements and help choose what matches the client's needs and day-to-day life.
