About Me
Counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Kent and Online
I’m Diana, an experienced Counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner based in Kent, and working online. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, heal from past trauma, and move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, managing stress, or working through trauma, I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, reconnect with your body, and take steps towards meaningful change.
My Journey
Life can be very challenging, and like many, I have experienced its ups and downs. My personal healing journey took a significant turn when I discovered somatic therapy. It opened my awareness to the powerful connection between the mind and body and gave me tools that profoundly transformed my own life.
Having worked in high-pressure corporate environments for many years, I also understand the challenges of stress, anxiety, and burnout. This experience helps me relate to my clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck, and it drives my commitment to creating a space where they feel supported and understood.
My Approach
My work is integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic techniques to meet the needs of each individual. I combine traditional counselling with somatic techniques to address both emotional and physical aspects of well-being.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we explore your challenges, uncover patterns, and work towards clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself. My aim is to guide you in developing tools for emotional regulation, managing stress, and living authentically.
