About Diana
Diana Simpson is a counsellor who draws on client-centred and practical approaches to help people facing stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges and life transitions. She uses plain language and a warm, respectful manner to make difficult conversations easier to start. Diana holds BACP accreditation, and she brings two decades of experience to each session.
She listens first to understand what matters to the person sitting across from her. From there she works collaboratively to set clear goals and pick techniques that fit those aims. That might involve looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, trying focused short-term solutions, or exploring internal parts of the self that influence feelings and behaviour.
Diana has worked with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and trauma. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related concerns, family and parenting pressures, anger and self-esteem challenges. She helps clients navigate practical problems like career decisions or the emotional fallout of separation and blended family dynamics.
Her background includes a BA honours degree in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s degree in psychology, plus advanced study in family systems and trauma. The BA Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation is listed as a professional credential.
Diana aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and try new ways of coping. She encourages small, manageable steps so progress feels doable rather than overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and pace. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people clarify what matters to them so they can make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it uses short practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and supports work on anxiety, depression and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and realistic goals to build momentum and change specific problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as the therapy progresses.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and alternatives such as phone sessions can reduce bandwidth or camera demands. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will fit your routine.
