About Diana
Diana Simpson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 21 years of experience. She works with adults on common difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and parenting concerns. Diana also helps people facing life transitions, addiction issues and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.
She trained with a BA (Hons) in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s degree in psychology. Over two decades she has worked with individuals and people connected to family difficulties. Her background includes work with bereavement, abandonment and blended family issues.
Diana uses a mix of practical approaches rather than a single method. She draws on client-centred ways of working to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her. She also applies cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Solution-focused ideas feature in her practice when clients want short-term goals and clear steps forward. Diana also brings elements of family systems thinking when relationships and family roles are part of the problem. These methods are used to address things like communication problems, caregiver stress and commitment worries.
Sessions aim to be interactive and straightforward. Diana offers support for issues ranging from career concerns and parenting to addiction and body image. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people explore their feelings, values and priorities in an open conversational way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves trying small behaviour changes and practical exercises to reduce anxiety or shift unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Diana will discuss which approach fits your goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as you make progress or as issues become clearer.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, avoid heavy bandwidth demands or choose camera-off conversations if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help clients carry real change into everyday life.
