Diana Gunner is a counsellor who helps people take the first steps toward feeling better. She speaks plainly and makes space for those who find it hard to name their feelings. Diana has four years of experience and works from the United Kingdom.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Diana supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and loss. She also works with trauma, eating and parenting concerns, anger, life changes and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach

Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, fertility and baby loss, blended family challenges, and caring for someone with an illness. Her sessions are adapted to each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.

Psychodynamic thinking helps uncover patterns that repeat over time and influence current feelings. Diana also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, practical steps between sessions. She often helps people find ways to cope day to day and to make decisions that feel manageable.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-orientated when that suits the client. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space to talk. Diana offers short-term support when that fits the need, while also helping people consider longer-standing issues.

She aims to help clients find clarity and workable changes at a pace that feels right.

How Diana’s approaches work online

Client-centred work puts your concerns first and aims to create a listening space where you lead the conversation. This approach helps when you need someone to hear you and to make sense of feelings without being directed. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from the past that show up now. Online sessions can use this to spot repeated reactions and to understand how early experiences shape current relationships and moods. Diana will collaborate with each person to find the best-fit method for their goals. She will discuss which approaches might suit your situation and adapt sessions as your needs change. Finding the right mix is part of the therapy itself. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help fit counselling around work, caring duties and travel, and let people access therapy from different locations.
