Integrative Counselling in LN11

Hello I'm Diane a professional counsellor, I offer a safe, empathetic, non judgemental & confidential environment where you can share & explore whatever may be troubling you. By listening and paying special attention to what you are saying we can unravel any confused thoughts, feelings and beliefs, helping you to develop a greater understanding of yourself, your life & your relationships, empowering you to take control over your future. I am experienced and trained in a wide range of Counselling issues such as:- Trauma, PTSD, Abuse, depression, anxiety, stress (inc work related), Couples and relationships, bullying, family issues, divorce, separation, low self esteem & confidence and many others.

PTSD and C-PTSD are serious and debilitating disorders that occur as a result of experiencing either one trauma or repeated traumatic suffering over a long period of time. C-PTSD can often be seen in survivors of childhood abuse, domestic violence, and combat. The effects of all unresolved trauma are far-reaching and can deeply impact an individual’s ability to function in day-to-day life. However, with the right support and treatment, individuals with PTSD at any level can achieve post-traumatic growth and personal development.

Do you find yourself struggling with overwhelming anxiety, feeling low, lost or lacking a sense of purpose? I understand how challenging these emotions can be, and I'm here to help you navigate through them. As a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of professional experience in both clinical and research settings, I have honed my expertise in evidence-based approaches to therapy. Although my training spans CBT, Systemic and Psychodynamic approaches to therapy, I have most expertise in CBT and third wave approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion focused therapy (CFT).

We provide the gold standard in counselling and psychotherapy.

If you are struggling with anxiety (worry), low mood or depression, relationship problems or distress, or suffering from the effects of trauma, I might be able to help you. I am a psychotherapist (person-centred experiential therapist) with additional training in Emotion Focused Individual therapy & Emotionally Focused Couple therapy. As my approach is emotion focused, my ideal client (individual or couple) would be willing to explore & work-through their painful emotions/feelings within therapy sessions by working with the therapist to achieve better mental, emotional relational well-being & resolution of problematic experiences.
