About Diana

Diana Gunner is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and life changes, and she lists ADHD among her focus areas.

She helps people who struggle to find words for what they feel. Sessions are used to talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they make more sense. Diana also has experience supporting people with baby loss, infertility and menopause related concerns.

Diana describes her work as integrative. She draws from client-centred approaches, psychodynamic thinking, solution-focused ideas and some cognitive behavioural techniques. This means sessions can include reflective conversation, short practical strategies and exploration of past patterns that still affect day to day life.

She typically offers brief therapy, often around six sessions, and adapts each meeting to the person who turns up. People who want clear short-term goals alongside space to reflect often find this mix useful. The emphasis is on working together to identify small, practical steps as well as noticing deeper patterns.

Sessions are aimed at adults who are ready to discuss painful emotions such as shame, guilt or grief. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used to arrange the first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. It is helpful for people carrying guilt, shame or difficult feelings who need a steady, respectful listener.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat from the past and how they shape current feelings and relationships. It can help when feelings of abandonment, attachment difficulties or repeating painful cycles are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana uses a collaborative process to decide which methods to emphasise based on a person’s goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions. That means practical techniques may be used alongside deeper reflection as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time, or make it easier to attend shorter check-ins. Online work can allow for quick follow-up conversations and helps fit therapy into an everyday routine without asking for large schedule changes.
