We all go through periods in our life where we feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed by our difficulties and struggle to find a way forward.
As a psychodynamic counsellor my approach is exploratory and reflective; thinking about how your past experiences may be influencing your current situation. In a sense, looking at things again in a fresh way, sometimes by going back to the beginning. I have experience working with adults in a number of areas and can work open ended or in a time limited way.

Perhaps this emotional distress whether it be anxiety, low mood, is impacting on your relationships, work and your home life.
The therapy relationship is key to making change and the need for someone to feel safe to share their distress. I consider it a real privilege to support people to gain insight into their difficulties, manage their internal struggles, reduce distress, learn new skills, build resilience and work towards living a life in line with their values.

As a clinical psychologist, I specialise in offering therapy for relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with anger.
"Dianne helped my husband and I bridge seemingly impossible gaps in our understanding of each other and ability to communicate despite considerable differences. Dianne took us from a place where we encountered apparently unresolvable emotional blockages daily, from a place of frustration and chronic misunderstanding to a place where we were able to appreciate each other's feelings and show love to one another increasingly unreservedly. She was skilfully professional, without ever faltering in compassion or humanity. She has given us the tools we needed to succeed in our marriage and we are hugely grateful for her help. " Annon

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, but internally feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or tension that don’t switch off.
Sessions are structured and collaborative, focusing on how anxiety shows up in your thoughts, behaviours, and daily life. We’ll explore patterns like overthinking, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking, and work together using CBT strategies to help you gradually step out of these cycles.
