About Diane
Diane Sullivan is a UK-based counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She has six years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. Diane focuses on helping people navigate sudden life changes, relationship breakdowns and emotional challenges in straightforward, practical sessions.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, low mood and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and problems connected to addiction. Diane works with a wide range of concerns, including intimacy issues, body image, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Diane pays attention to each person's story and adapts sessions to suit individual needs. In practice this means listening without judgement, helping clients name what matters most, and focusing on what feels achievable next. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the client's comfort.
She also has experience with issues around attachment, abandonment and dissociation, and with alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Diane offers support for people coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, codependency and communication problems. Her work is practical and person-focused.
Diane helps clients set small goals and build skills for day-to-day life. She encourages honest conversation about feelings and choices, and helps people find clearer ways forward.

How Diane works online
She emphasises respect, empathy and working at the client’s pace. That collaborative tone means the therapist and client agree together on goals and the best ways to work towards them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will help identify which methods and steps suit a client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan. This makes sessions adaptable as circumstances change.
The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are used, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent across busy weeks while still focusing on practical steps and clearer thinking.
