About Diane

Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who centres sessions on the person in front of her. She uses listening, reflection and practical conversation to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and trauma-related concerns. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and understandable for anyone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Diane draws on 12 years of experience working with a wide range of issues. She can help with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to parenting, career or life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing chronic illness, compassion fatigue, and identity matters such as LGBT concerns. Her practice blends client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness techniques. She offers space to talk about patterns from family of origin, attachment worries, abandonment or codependency, and to notice how those patterns show up day to day.

Sessions can be short-term problem-focused work or longer-term exploration depending on what someone needs. Diane has a degree in Psychosocial Studies and a diploma in counselling. She is a BACP member, which is recorded here as BACP.

Those qualifications inform her practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. People meet Diane by telephone, video call, live chat or text-based messaging. She aims to review progress regularly so conversations stay useful.

To start, a simple questionnaire and scheduling step helps match people to suitable session times.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection to help a person feel heard and to build their own solutions. It suits people who want practical conversation and a supportive ear for decision-making or emotional strain.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce anxiety and aid sleep and stress management. It is useful for people who want tools to manage moments of overwhelm and to slow down repetitive thinking.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early relationships that shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when someone notices the same problems reappearing in relationships, work or self-image.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new challenges arise.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let conversations feel closer to face-to-face while phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are suited to shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when timing needs to fit around work or childcare. These formats aim to make counselling more accessible and flexible for everyday life.
