All parents want their children to be happy and reach their potential. However, it is common for parents and young people to need professional help to deal with challenges of childhood and adolescence. Diane has worked extensively with young people facing a range of issues including:

• Behavioural concerns

• Anxiety

• Social concerns and bullying

• ADHD

• Parental separation and divorce

• Depression

• Chronic health conditions

Many of us will experience mental health challenges at some time in our lives, and reaching out for help can feel strange and unfamiliar. Diane provides a safe space for clients to feel connected and understood, and work through issues they bring to therapy. Diane works with clients facing challenges across a number of areas.

• Perinatal mental health for mums and dads

• Depression

• Anxiety, OCD and phobias

• Chronic health concerns

• Relationship breakdown

• Grief and loss

• Alcohol dependence

• Psychotherapy

• Self-esteem and confidence

PTSD and psychological trauma can develop following a single traumatic incident, after a number of related traumatic events, or from multiple ‘smaller’ incidents that in isolation may not seem traumatic. PTSD symptoms can be highly distressing and will often get in the way of day to day life. Diane has worked with both children and adults who have experienced trauma. She is trained in EMDR - an effective, evidence-based treatment for trauma.
