Diane Sullivan, NCPS

Diane Sullivan is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works from a person-centred approach, meeting people where they are and helping them make sense of difficult changes. Diane focuses on building a respectful, compassionate space to talk through whatever feels hardest right now.

She supports people facing relationship strain, separation and divorce, and the fallout from infidelity. Diane also helps with grief, bereavement, anxiety, depression and low mood. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, career strain and parenting pressures are part of her day-to-day work.

Diane has experience with trauma and abuse and with people affected by near-death experiences tied to illness or medical events. Addictions, compassion fatigue and the stresses of caregiving are additional areas she addresses. She also discusses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, intimacy and issues connected to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Diane listens with curiosity and reflects back what she hears, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. She keeps language straightforward and focuses on small, practical steps as well as exploring feelings.

People who choose Diane often want a steady, non-judgemental presence while they work through change. If you are considering starting therapy, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to availability.

How person-centred practice translates to online therapy

Diane’s work is grounded in a person-centred approach. That means sessions emphasise listening, empathy and responding to what the person brings each week. It is useful for relationship problems, grief, anxiety and the stress of life changes because it focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace.

Person-centred work helps people feel heard first, and then look at practical steps. In sessions Diane reflects what she hears and encourages people to notice patterns in feelings and behaviour. This approach can fit well with conversations about parenting strain, caregiving stress, addiction and recovery, or processing trauma and loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Diane works together with each person to decide what feels most helpful, matching the method to the client’s goals and preferences rather than offering a fixed plan. She will adjust how sessions are run as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins around work or caring duties. It can also make sessions possible for people living further from where a counsellor is based. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work helpful for continuity of care and for keeping therapy part of a regular routine.
