About Diane

How Diane works
Practical day-to-day struggles such as sleeping and eating difficulties, stress, and caregiving strain are part of her work. Trauma and abuse, including recovery after near-death experiences linked to illness or medical events, are areas she has experience with. Diane also addresses issues around identity and intimacy, including LGBT concerns, BDSM and alternative sex culture, and body image.
Addictions, codependency, and substance-related problems are included in her focus. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, dissociation, chronic pain or illness, anger, and feelings of emptiness. Career and coaching topics, such as workplace stress and compassion fatigue, are also part of her practice.
Diane aims to create a respectful and sensitive space for each person she works with. Diane holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS after her name. She guides sessions in plain language and helps people set realistic goals, one step at a time.
To begin, clients follow the site process to match with her and arrange sessions that fit their routine.

Online support options
How Diane's person-centred approach translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens carefully, offers empathy, and helps the person identify their own goals. This approach suits concerns like relationship problems, anxiety, grief and adjusting to life changes because it centres on what matters most to the individual.Sessions online still follow the same person-led style. Diane will work collaboratively to find the right way of working, checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting methods to match goals and preferences. Finding the best therapeutic fit is a shared process and she supports clients to explore what works for them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want flexible timing, or need ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while keeping the person-centred focus.
