About Diane

Diane Brooks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. Diane also supports people struggling with self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Her work often includes people coping with bereavement, panic and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment worries, and the shame or guilt that can follow difficult life events.

Background and approach

Diane also addresses workplace problems, body image and social anxiety. Diane uses a client-centred style that aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful. She creates space for people to talk without judgement and listens for what matters most to each person.

Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical next steps. Her approach can include mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety and motivational interviewing to help with change. She can also draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.

Diane works collaboratively to choose what will be most helpful. Starting therapy can feel hard. Diane aims to make the first steps easier by offering a calm, steady presence and clear ways to work through what’s troubling someone.

She emphasises small, manageable progress during the course of therapy.

Approaches that suit online therapy sessions

Diane often draws on client-centred work which focuses on listening and responding to what the person finds most important; this helps people feel understood and steer the pace of sessions themselves. Mindfulness therapy is another part of her practice and involves simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce anxiety and bring moments of calm during moments of stress. Motivational interviewing can be used when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck; it helps clarify values and gently build commitment to next steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Diane will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress is made or priorities shift, so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can suit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for a close conversational feel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter way to check in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family life and other commitments.
