About A Positive Mindset
A Positive Mindset | Diana Mellinger, NLP Therapist
I’m Diana Mellinger, NLP therapist, Psych-K® Facilitator and coach.
I provide life-changing neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) therapy, Psych-K® and coaching for children and adults. I practice from Sevenoaks, Kent, as well as online. I also host private group sessions and deliver corporate workshops.
My story
Why would you choose to work with me? Because I know what it feels like to face something too big to carry alone.
I was born in Angola and sent away in 1972, just before the start of the civil war, at a very young age. For much of my childhood, I was without my parents. I grew up navigating loss, uncertainty, and the kind of experiences that leave a mark – and I’ve spent the years since learning how to heal from them.
That personal journey is at the heart of everything I do. When someone comes to me carrying trauma, anxiety or a feeling they can’t quite name, I’m not approaching it from the outside. I understand, from the inside, how these things take hold – and what it takes to move through them.
What I do – and how I work
Everyone has the potential to achieve their goals and become the person they want to be. As a NLP therapist and a Psych-K® Facilitator, I can empower you with tools, techniques and processes to unlock this potential. Whether you want to free yourself from negative emotions, communicate more effectively, or overcome self-limiting beliefs, NLP coaching could help you achieve rapid yet lasting change.
For over 13 years, I have helped clients aged four to eighty-six navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My experience spans supporting children in schools, guiding adults through major life shifts, and leading corporate wellness groups.
What makes my practice unique is how I bridge the practical and the intuitive. By combining structured therapies like NLP and PSYCH-K®, I create a holistic space for true healing. Whether you need grounded strategy or deep energetic restoration, we work together to unlock your potential.
No two people are the same, which is why I don’t believe in scripts, fixed programmes, or one-size-fits-all solutions. I tailor every single session to the person sitting in front of me. By taking the time to truly understand what you are experiencing, we can figure out the best way forward together.
With advanced training in several specialist areas of NLP therapy practice, and Psych-K® processes, I can then offer a range of ways to help you achieve the result you desire.
Around 90% of my clients find me through word of mouth—a statistic I am incredibly proud of.
Who do my services help?
NLP and PSYCH-K® can help with all kinds of situations – from children with sleep difficulties, to teenagers struggling with anxiety and depression, to adults lacking a sense of fulfilment in life. Many of the issues we face stem from self-limiting beliefs – and when we can shift those, things that felt stuck often start to move.
As a therapist, I can guide you to unlock this potential with tools and techniques you can carry forward. Whether you want to free yourself from negative emotions, communicate more effectively, or overcome those self-limiting beliefs – whatever you’re facing, the coaching tools and techniques I use can empower you to change that for good.
The first step is always to establish rapport, whether I’m working with a child, teenager or adult. Empathy and understanding underpin an effective therapeutic relationship. So I’ll seek to establish a connection with you and understand your life as you see it, using my professional knowledge, intuition and life experience. With advanced training in several therapeutic approaches and processes, I can then offer a range of ways to help you achieve the result you desire.
“After that first meeting I was “all in”. It felt like Diana had known me for years, I could not wait to get started at the end of that session.”
“Diana not only works with you to understand why you feel the way you do, challenges your ideas and makes you look at life through brighter eyes, but she also equips you with the tools to make these changes stay for good.”
“Diana is an extraordinary woman with compassion and patience in abundance.”
My background and experience
My NLP journey began in 2012 when I saw Richard Bandler, one of the co-creators of NLP, at an event in London. I was intrigued by the powerful stories of personal development and transformation that he shared. I experienced my own breakthrough moment and decided to leave my career in communications at an international bank to train as an NLP therapist. Since then my focus has been using NLP coaching and therapy to help people make positive changes and achieve a new perspective on life, which I find incredibly rewarding.

“Diana’s therapy and support truly enabled me to get to the heart of my issues and then to put the necessary steps in place to deal and accept. I cannot begin to thank Diana enough for how I now feel, which is content, secure and in control of my thoughts and emotions.”
“My life has changed so much in such a short time since we did the NLP weekend together that I hardly recognise it.”
