Diana Simpson

Diana Simpson is a BACP counsellor with more than two decades of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, interactive style and aims to create a respectful space where people can talk openly about concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain.

Diana uses an integrative approach and adapts what she does to each person's goals. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and practical skills that help with everyday stress, parenting challenges and life transitions. She also supports people with eating and food-related issues, body image concerns and addictions.

Her background includes a BA honours degree in psychology and counselling studies and a master’s in psychology. She has further advanced training in family systems trauma, and she draws on those ideas when helping people navigate family and attachment problems.

In therapy she keeps things straightforward and non-judgemental. Conversations tend to be collaborative and aimed at small, achievable steps. People can expect exploration of thoughts and feelings alongside practical strategies to manage mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties.

Diana has worked with individuals, couples and parents across a wide range of concerns including caregiving stress, separation and commitment issues. She frames therapy as a process of discovery, helping people identify patterns and try different ways of coping that fit their life.

How Diana’s approaches translate to online counselling

Diana draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and reflecting what matters to you, helping build self-awareness and clearer goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work Diana does with each person. She will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape short-term aims and longer-term plans.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try therapeutic tools and homework between meetings, so progress can be practiced in everyday situations.
