About Diane
Diane Sullivan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a person-centred approach. She draws on six years of practice to help people facing big life changes and difficult feelings. Diane aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful so people can speak honestly about what matters to them.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression and low mood. She also supports those dealing with relationship breakdowns, separation and divorce, infidelity and family conflict.
Background and approach
Practical worries such as career strain, caregiving stress, addiction and sleeping or eating difficulties are also part of her caseload. Diane has experience supporting people after trauma, bereavement and near-death experiences linked to illness or medical events. She works with issues around attachment, abandonment and intimacy, and with people exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures.
This breadth allows her to adapt conversations to each person’s story. Her style is warm and accepting. Sessions focus on listening, understanding personal values, and helping people find their own solutions.
Diane aims to make therapy a collaborative process rather than telling clients what to do. Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Diane holds the NCPS credential and combines accessible online work with a calm, person-centred way of talking through problems.

Approaches Diane lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The therapist will use a simple, collaborative process to find the best way forward. Together they will consider which approaches, pace and session formats suit the client’s goals and preferences. This is treated as an ongoing conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing reflection and brief exchanges between scheduled sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access therapy in ways that suit their routines.
