Diane Brooks, NCPS

Diane often uses client‑centred therapy, which means she listens without judgement and follows the priorities you bring to each session. This approach helps people feel understood and shapes therapy around what matters most to them.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and grounding practices. These skills can reduce moments of panic or overwhelming stress and are useful for anxiety and rumination.

Motivational interviewing is another part of her toolkit, used to help people find reasons to change and to build small, sustainable steps toward their goals. This approach works well when someone feels stuck or unsure how to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working until you find what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to fit your comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and develop rapport, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family and everyday life.
