About Diane
Diane Brooks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and the NCPS credential. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Diane aims to make first steps feel less daunting and offers steady, respectful support throughout the process.
She works in a relaxed, non-judgemental way so clients can talk openly about difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical ways forward. Diane draws on short-term strategies and deeper reflection depending on what each person needs. Her approach is collaborative.
She invites clients to set the pace and goals, and she adapts methods to fit those aims. Some people use grounding and mindfulness to manage anxiety, while others explore patterns from past relationships that affect them now. Diane has particular experience supporting people through bereavement and depression and in addressing panic, post-traumatic stress and feelings of isolation.
She also helps with issues such as attachment concerns, body image, guilt and workplace stress. In sessions she uses techniques from client-centred work, mindfulness and solution-focused methods alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. This blend allows practical steps alongside space to reflect on deeper themes.
Diane offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

Online support
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find inner motivation for change. That approach involves gentle questions and reflection so clients can clarify what matters most to them and take manageable steps towards it.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diane collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of listening, short-term problem solving and reflective work as trust and clarity grow.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
