About Diana
Diana Simpson is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her approach is warm and respectful and she aims to create a space where people can talk openly about difficult moments.
Diana combines ideas from client-centred ways of working with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. She also draws on family systems thinking when relationships or family patterns are part of the issue.
Background and approach
This mix lets her adapt sessions to what a person needs in the moment. She supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression as well as those dealing with relationship and parenting concerns. Other areas she often works on include grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem, addictions and career questions.
Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment and blended family concerns. Diana describes her style as interactive and non-judgemental. She listens for patterns, helps people identify practical steps, and encourages clearer communication with partners or family members when needed.
She also works on emotional skills such as managing anger and building self-worth. Her background includes a BA honours degree in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s degree in psychology. With 21 years of practice she aims to help people gain self-awareness and develop workable strategies that fit their everyday lives.

How Diana works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes where clear strategies and homework can help.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Diana will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring and agree together which approach or combination feels most useful. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they aim at what matters most to the client.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins between commitments. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can guide you on what will work best for your circumstances.
