Diane Sullivan , NCPS

Diane Sullivan is a UK-based counsellor who draws on six years of experience to support people facing major life changes. She uses a person-centred approach and holds the NCPS credential. Diane aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

She often works with people dealing with relationship problems, separation and divorce, and the fallout from infidelity. Diane also helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief after bereavement or loss. Her practice includes support for those affected by trauma and abuse, and for people navigating addictions or compassion fatigue.

Diane has experience helping people with intimacy-related concerns including body image, sexual expression such as BDSM and kink, and issues around commitment and communication. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, pain or disability and the emotional impact these bring.

The counselling style is straightforward and person-led. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings, and trying out small steps that feel achievable. Diane adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s needs and priorities.

Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled through the service’s booking process. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Person-centred care and online access

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens attentively, reflects what is shared, and helps the person find their own way forward. This approach is useful for relationship struggles, low mood, grief and adapting to life changes.

Diane focuses on offering a steady, respectful presence while people talk through painful or confusing events. The work is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what to explore and which small steps to try next. This helps build confidence and clearer choices over time.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see one another and keep a closer connection; phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, day-to-day reflection, or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility and help people access counselling from different locations and schedules.
