About Diana
Diana Gunner is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and ADHD. Diana also supports people facing abandonment, attachment and family problems, fertility and baby loss, caregiver stress, and related life challenges.
She offers short-term counselling, often working in a series of around six sessions. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviours and on practical ways to cope with difficult situations. Diana draws on person-centred ways of working combined with psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques to help people clarify what matters to them.
In a session she listens without judgement and helps people find words for what they are feeling. She will use conversational approaches and straightforward tools to manage distress and to look at patterns that keep problems repeating. Some clients come for techniques to handle anger or anxiety. Others come to work through bereavement, trauma or changes such as fertility loss and menopause.
Diana describes her work as short-term and goal oriented when that fits, and exploratory when more depth is needed. She accepts people living outside the UK and offers support in English. Fees vary by location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin she asks people to use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. That helps both client and counsellor decide whether to begin a short course of work together.
Approaches used in online counselling and how sessions work
Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of strong feelings. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past relationships and how they affect current reactions, which can be helpful for recurring anger, attachment issues and relationship strain. Solution-focused therapy emphasises small, practical steps and goals and can suit people looking for techniques to manage stress or anger.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences in the first sessions and together decide whether to adopt a more exploratory psychodynamic focus or a shorter, solution-based plan. The aim is to match the way of working to what helps the individual most.
The original biography does not state specific session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and offering flexibility around work or family commitments. Many people find that clear goals and practical tools transfer well to remote sessions when both parties agree on the approach.
