About Diana

Diana Simpson is a counsellor who uses a warm, interactive style to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and traumatic experiences. She draws on more than two decades of practice to offer steady support and practical ways forward. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her sessions are calm and non-judgemental. She listens closely and helps clients set small, reachable goals. Conversations focus on what matters now and on changes people can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Diana blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centred aims to keep work focussed on the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques can help when unhelpful thinking and anxious patterns get in the way.

Solution-Focused ideas support short-term problem solving and clearer next steps. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand different parts of themselves and how these parts affect relationships and coping. That way clients can learn to notice, name and work with inner conflict rather than be overwhelmed by it.

Diana has worked with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, grief, addiction, anger, intimacy worries and low self-esteem. She also offers coaching for career and life transitions. She aims to make therapy practical, respectful and directly useful for everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own pace and goals. It’s useful when someone needs acceptance, clearer direction and steady support rather than advice.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable, then suggest a blend of methods. That decision is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.

Online sessions offer practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need to fit a session into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, step-by-step problem solving or when a written conversation feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to try different formats to find what helps most.
