About Diane

Diane Sullivan is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works from a person-centred approach and aims to offer calm, practical support for people facing difficult life events. Diane meets people where they are and focuses on what matters to them right now.

She helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, and with relationship problems including separation, divorce and infidelity. Diane also supports those coping with grief, bereavement and trauma, and people adjusting after health emergencies or near death experiences. Jealousy and intimacy-related issues are included among her areas of focus.

Sessions are shaped by each person's needs and priorities. Diane uses a client-centred style which means she listens closely and follows the pace that feels right for the client. Conversations are practical and straightforward, with attention to how changes can be made in daily life.

She works with a wide range of concerns such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger, and career pressures. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and communication problems. Diane also offers support for people experiencing chronic illness, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.

How Diane’s person-centred approach works online

Diane practices client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what matters to the person in front of her. This approach focuses on understanding someone’s experience and helping them find their own solutions, which can help with relationship worries, stress and feelings of emptiness.

Her sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual. The counsellor encourages self-reflection, supports emotional processing and helps people set small, usable steps they can try between meetings. This way of working often suits people facing life changes, grief or ongoing anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Diane works collaboratively to decide what will help. She will talk through options with each person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences rather than applying one fixed method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of support during busy periods or when routines change.
