About Diane

Diane Slater is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem or depression. Diane aims to make the first step easier for anyone unsure about reaching out for help.

Diane keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages open conversation so people can say what they are thinking and feeling without judgement.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on small steps that feel doable between meetings. Her background includes five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom supporting people through loss, panic attacks and mood difficulties. Diane has also worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, and problems with communication and relationships.

Diane pays attention to how life events affect everyday routines and choices. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, divorce or money worries by helping them prioritise what to change first.

People can expect a warm, steady approach that balances listening with gentle challenge. Diane uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. This helps conversations stay relevant and focused on real-life improvements.

How Diane uses practical approaches online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people manage distressing symptoms and painful memories. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills for anxiety and panic - learning short tools to calm the body and reduce racing thoughts during high-stress moments. This suits people who need quick strategies to get through difficult situations.

Another approach addresses grief, trauma and low mood by helping people make sense of what happened and slowly regain routines that matter. This work often includes pacing difficult memories, practising new ways of thinking about events, and setting small goals to rebuild daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their concerns, goals and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adapt them as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or short reflections between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
