About Diana

Diana Simpson is a counsellor who blends practical, person-centred work with structured tools. She draws on two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and life changes. Diana is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and uses that framework in her practice.

She focuses on issues such as parenting pressures, grief, addiction, trauma and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing career setbacks, low self-esteem and anger.

Background and approach

Additional areas of special interest include abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family difficulties and caregiving stress. Her way of working mixes client-centred listening with focused techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches. Sessions are collaborative and practical, aiming to identify small changes that build over time.

Diana also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand inner parts and patterns. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk things through and to try out new ways of responding. Diana adapts what she does to each person’s goals, using exercises, reflections and short action-plans when useful.

She emphasises skill-building alongside understanding. Her background includes a BA (Hons) in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s degree in psychology. With 21 years of experience she brings a long record of working in counselling roles across the United Kingdom.

Her membership of BACP is shown as BACP.

Approaches Diana lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Diana uses client-centred work to ground sessions in what matters to the person. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and reflecting back what you say so you feel heard and understood. It can help with emotional overwhelm, self-esteem and relationship worries.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT offers practical steps and short exercises to change thinking patterns linked to anxiety, depression and anger. Solution-focused techniques are used alongside CBT to create clear, achievable goals and quick strategies for coping with immediate problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will discuss options with each person and agree a mix of methods based on goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video provides face-to-face contact for deeper discussions, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
