Therapeutic approaches and online sessions



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client’s own goals and pace guide the process. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions by emphasizing understanding and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with everyday challenges because it combines short-term strategies with measurable progress.

Internal Family Systems invites clients to explore different parts of themselves and how those parts interact, which can be helpful for complex relational patterns, trauma responses, and identity concerns. It supports greater internal harmony and clearer decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diana will work collaboratively with each client and with registered professionals as needed to determine which methods fit best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. This range of options allows clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and sustainable for their circumstances.
