Diana Gunner , BACP

Diana Gunner is an integrative counsellor who supports people through difficult transitions and emotional challenges. With four years of experience, she works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, eating and parenting issues, anger, coping with life changes and ADHD. She also has experience supporting people facing abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, cancer and caregiver stress, control issues, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and food-related difficulties.

Diana draws on an integrative toolkit that combines client-centered, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to tailor each session to the needs of the person in front of her. She typically offers short-term counselling of around six sessions when appropriate, and adapts the pace and techniques to suit goals such as developing coping skills, processing bereavement or trauma, or exploring personal growth.

She aims to provide a warm, open and non-judgemental therapeutic space where people can find words for what feels hard and begin to understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Her credential BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Diana understands how daunting reaching out can be and works collaboratively to help people take practical steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Diana Gunner

Diana commonly draws on client-centered, psychodynamic and solution-focused approaches in her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and respect for the person’s perspective, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore emotions and decisions. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that arise from past relationships and life experiences to increase self-understanding and reduce repetitive difficulties, which can be helpful for attachment, relationship and longstanding emotional issues. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths to create change quickly, often suited to people seeking concrete coping tools or short-term progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Diana works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts her style over time as those needs evolve. This shared decision making helps clients feel more confident about the direction of their therapy.

Online therapy with Diana is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without travel, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for exploring issues and building skills.
