About Diana
Diana Simpson is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, and helps with life changes, grief, addiction and self-esteem concerns. Her background and experience are based in the United Kingdom and she lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Diana adopts a warm, interactive style and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the sessions to individual goals. Conversations focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that maintain difficulties. She combines several approaches to match the needs of the person in front of her.
Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to notice and adjust thinking and behaviour. Client-centred ways of working help people feel heard and understood. Solution-focused methods are brought in to identify small, achievable changes.
Diana has training that includes psychology and counselling studies at undergraduate level and a master’s in psychology. Over the years she has worked with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and ageing and geriatric topics. Sessions are shaped around the goals each person brings.
Diana helps people develop coping skills, set practical goals and reflect on relationship patterns. Her aim is to support clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping.

How Diana's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what is important to you and helps you feel heard, which can free up space to make different choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps you try practical changes that reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Diana will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can be good for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing and want flexible, ongoing contact. These options help people access therapy from different locations and at different times, supporting continuity of care and practical convenience.
