About Diana
Diana Simpson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, addiction and related issues. Diana uses client-centred work alongside cognitive and solution-focused methods.
She keeps sessions practical and interactive. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps that can help. Diana draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s degree in psychology. She is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over two decades she has worked with individuals, couples and families on parenting, bereavement, life transitions and relationship breakdowns.
Diana also brings elements of Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems into her work. Solution-Focused techniques help clarify small, achievable goals. Internal Family Systems offers a way to notice different parts of oneself and how they affect choices and relationships.
People typically talk about communication problems, commitment and intimacy issues, caregiving stress, body image and recovery from abuse or abandonment. Sessions cover practical coping strategies, communication skills and steps towards clearer decisions about work, relationships and parenting.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experience. The therapist listens with attention and helps people clarify their feelings and choices. This is useful for relationship issues, parenting concerns and emotional distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical techniques to change behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will help decide which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as work progresses. Please confirm current session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone choose a meeting style that suits their needs, such as an audio call or a video conversation, if those options are available.Sheet 3
