About Diana
Diana Gunner offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to counselling. She introduces herself in plain language and helps people find words for what feels hard to say. With four years' experience and BACP on her record, Diana focuses on making first steps feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She supports people with stress, anxiety, panic, phobias and depression. She also helps with grief, trauma and issues around eating and self‑esteem. Additional areas she addresses include parenting strains, ADHD concerns, relationship and separation worries, and fertility or baby-loss related distress.
Background and approach
Diana draws on a mix of client‑centred, psychodynamic and solution‑focused ways of working. That means sessions can centre on what matters most to the person, look at patterns from the past that still affect today, or focus on practical steps that bring quick relief. Sessions are shaped to suit the person’s needs and how they prefer to work.
She typically offers short‑term counselling, often around six sessions, for people wanting focused help. The counsellor aims for a warm, non‑judgemental space where people can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Diana encourages realistic goals and small steps towards clearer thinking and greater coping.
To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then book according to availability. International clients can be supported and sessions are offered in English.

How Diana works online
Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that may come from earlier relationships or experiences. In conversations the counsellor and client may notice repeated themes and consider how those patterns affect current choices and feelings. This approach can be useful for long‑standing issues and deeper self‑understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on immediate coping strategies one week and exploring past patterns the next; the plan can change as needs shift.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and let people join from different locations, including outside the UK, since international clients are accepted. Before booking, confirm which session formats are available so they match the client’s practical needs. Sessions can be scheduled to suit work breaks, quieter times of day or other daily commitments, helping therapy become a manageable part of life.
