About Diana

Diana Gunner is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, eating concerns, parenting pressures, anger, and ADHD. She also addresses blended family issues and a range of related difficulties such as attachment, abandonment and fertility or caregiver stress.

Her style is straightforward and conversational. She listens and helps clients put words to difficult feelings. Sessions can focus on coping strategies, short-term goals, or making sense of past experiences that still affect everyday life.

Diana uses a mix of client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. That means time is spent exploring what matters now, looking at patterns from the past, and testing small practical changes that can make daily life easier. She aims to balance understanding with concrete steps you can try between sessions.

Short-term, goal-oriented work is available, often over about six sessions. People who want to build immediate coping tools alongside some reflection on the past may find this approach useful. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than long, open-ended therapy.

Sessions are carried out in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.

Approach and how online sessions work

Diana draws on client-centred work and solution-focused therapy when meeting people online. Client-centred work prioritises listening and following what the client feels is most important, which helps when people are finding words for difficult emotions. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals to improve day-to-day functioning, which can be useful for stress, parenting strains or stepfamily challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will help clients decide together which methods fit best based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions can shift between exploring past patterns and trying concrete techniques to cope with current problems.

The therapist's profile does not specify particular online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people meet with a registered BACP counsellor from different locations, which can help when juggling childcare, work or blended household routines.
