Diana Gunner

Diana Gunner is a BACP counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting. She explains that talking about what is worrying you can be hard, and she helps people find words for their thoughts and feelings. Diana focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be themselves while they talk things through.

She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, bereavement and trauma. Her practice also includes support around baby loss, infertility and the changes that come with menopause. Eating and food-related issues are part of the areas she is experienced in addressing.

Diana describes her style as integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside solution-focused brief therapy. She tailors each session to what the individual needs at the time, whether that is practical coping strategies or time to reflect on deeper patterns.

Her work tends to be short term, typically around six sessions, and she offers an open space to try things out and see what helps. She stresses that seeking help takes bravery and that therapy can be a place to begin making small changes towards a clearer sense of direction.

Diana says she will walk alongside people as they explore their situation, working collaboratively to find manageable steps forward. Her approach combines practical techniques with space for personal growth.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Diana uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches that adapt well to talking remotely. Client-centred work means the session centres on your experience and what matters to you, helping you feel heard and understood. Solution-focused work focuses on practical steps and small goals you can try between sessions to ease stress or make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diana will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that could suit you. That choice is collaborative and can change as you progress.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more focused check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals who offer remote work often find it helps people maintain continuity while juggling daily responsibilities.
