About Diana
Diana Gunner is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with issues such as anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, bereavement, trauma, and fertility-related loss. Diana also supports people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, parenting pressures and stress from life changes.
Diana uses an integrative approach and draws on client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas in her work. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people find words for difficult feelings and notices patterns in thoughts and behaviour together with each person.
Many clients come wanting short-term support and Diana usually offers brief counselling, often around six sessions. She can introduce coping techniques and simple tools to manage anxiety, anger or low mood. She also helps people think through grief, complicated family situations and issues linked to fertility or baby loss.
Diana aims to work in a non-judgemental way and to be direct about what is happening in sessions. She will listen, reflect and suggest steps to try between appointments. This can include small experiments or focused conversations to shift a stuck problem.
She accepts people from the United Kingdom and is able to work with international clients in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to see how the approach fits them.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Diana draws on client-centred and solution-focused approaches alongside psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers, which can help with low mood, anxiety and life changes. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical steps to change a situation and is useful when someone wants short-term support and clear goals. Psychodynamic ideas help notice repeated patterns in relationships and feelings and can be useful when exploring long-standing emotional difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Diana will work with each person to decide what to try first based on their needs, goals and preferences. The work is collaborative and can change as the person’s concerns become clearer.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. The usual benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study or work, joining from a different location if travel is difficult, and options for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can offer ways to structure sessions that suit a young adult’s schedule and life commitments.
