About Diana
Diana Gunner is a BACP counsellor who helps people when starting therapy feels hard. She encourages clients to say what they can and works patiently when words are missing. Diana sees people for anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, bereavement and trauma, and she has experience with baby loss, infertility and menopause.
She uses an integrative style and adapts sessions to each person. That means she borrows ideas from person-centred work, psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques, plus solution-focused brief therapy when it fits. Sessions are usually short term, often around six meetings, so the focus is on practical steps the client can try between sessions.
Diana aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be honest about their feelings. She listens for patterns in thoughts, emotions and behaviour and helps clients make sense of those patterns. Together they explore small, achievable changes as well as longer-term understanding.
Her way of working suits people who want both understanding and practical tools. She offers support for coping with life changes, grief, stress and relationship concerns as well as issues around self-esteem and eating. Clients can expect a direct but gentle approach that balances emotional exploration with workable strategies.
Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and are delivered in English. Diana has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Diana's approaches translate to online counselling
Diana works in an integrative way that draws on client-centred and psychodynamic approaches alongside solution-focused techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive atmosphere so people can speak openly and feel heard; it helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from past experiences and relationships to understand current feelings and repeated reactions; it can be useful for grief, attachment issues and long-standing difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps shape sessions so they meet immediate needs and longer-term aims.
Practical benefits of online therapy often include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations and to keep therapy consistent during life changes.
