Diana Southgate, Counselling Psychologist

Diana is a Counselling Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. She has been in practice for 27 years, most recently in Empangeni and Richards Bay.

She has a special interest in traumatic stress and addiction (in particular, alcoholism). She is further experienced in a broad range of therapeutic challenges, including anxiety disorders, eating disorders and obesity, mood disorders, personality disorders, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder, among others.

Diana also provides counselling on marital, child and family issues, loss and bereavement, and health and lifestyle.

Diana is closely involved with national corporations’ Employment Assisted Programmes as Counselling Psychologist. She is experienced in Safety Behavioural Risk Assessments.

Over the past 8 years, Diana has developed and refined a proprietary approach to treating alcoholism. The resultant programme ― ‘Surely Sober: A Pathway for Recovery from Alcohol Addiction’ ― has been successfully applied in practice. It is in implementation in a Workshop-plus-Home Audio format.
