Personal statement
Diana has practised meditation for more than 40 years and taught it for six years in London. Many aspects of that philosophy inform her approach to therapeutic work with an emphasis on compassion and she draws on both Buddhist and Christian teachings and wisdom. Her aim is to facilitate recovery to health, happiness, equanimity, and wellbeing.
Diana hopes to stimulate right-brain activity through her therapy in order to enhance the imagination, empowering patients to get the most from life and to see problems from a different perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and related therapy models to give a wide range of cognitive tools for identifying core issues and working towards practical solutions.
