Diane Sullivan, NCPS

Diane Sullivan is a UK-based counsellor who draws on six years of clinical experience to support people through hard times. She uses a person-centred style and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Diane holds NCPS as a credential and frames her work around the person rather than a rigid technique.

Her practice focuses on life changes and relationship breakdowns, including separation, divorce and infidelity. She also helps with anxiety, depression, low mood, grief and bereavement. Diane works with people affected by trauma and abuse and those coping after serious illness or near-death experiences related to medical events.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and priorities. She listens closely and follows the client’s lead while offering practical ways to cope with stress, sleeplessness, addictive behaviours and low self-esteem. Diane also addresses intimacy issues, body image concerns and problems around communication and commitment.

There is attention to less commonly discussed areas too, such as attachment and abandonment, BDSM and kink matters, caregiver stress, chronic pain and dissociation. Her work includes support for people dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and substance misuse.

Diane aims to help clients find clearer direction and greater emotional balance. She encourages small, realistic steps that fit everyday life and adapts the pace to what each person can manage.

How Diane’s Person-Centred Practice Works Online

Diane works from a client-centred perspective, which means she focuses on understanding each person and responding to their experience. Sessions centre on listening, reflecting and helping clients name what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship issues.

The person-centred approach also supports work on grief, trauma responses and adjustments after serious illness or near-death events. It encourages clients to lead the pace and topics, while the counsellor offers empathetic presence and practical ideas to manage stress and day-to-day difficulties.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Diane will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then adapt how she works to fit those needs. This helps clients and therapist agree on what to try and how to measure progress.
