Diana Gunner, BACP

Taking the first step toward therapy often feels daunting, and Diana Gunner recognises how much courage it can take to talk about what is troubling you. She supports people who find it hard to put their experience into words, helping them to explore and make sense of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Her practice has engaged with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, bereavement and trauma, as well as sensitive experiences such as baby loss, infertility and the changes of menopause.

As an integrative counsellor with over four years of professional experience, Diana draws on a blend of client-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused brief therapy techniques. She adapts each session to the needs of the individual, whether someone is seeking practical coping strategies or aiming for deeper personal growth. Her approach emphasises a nonjudgemental attitude and a warm, open environment where clients can be themselves.

Her work has often taken the form of short-term counselling, typically around six sessions, focused on clear steps toward greater clarity and well-being. Diana is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in English from the United Kingdom. She aims to help clients identify helpful patterns and discover manageable ways forward during periods of transition or distress.
