About Diane
Diane Salisbury is a counsellor with twelve years' experience helping people work through life challenges. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make conversations straightforward and easy to follow. Diane draws on her background in psychosocial studies and a counselling diploma, and she is registered with the BACP.
Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
LGBT issues and ADHD are included among the areas she supports. Diane combines several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. She leans on client-centred work to make space for what matters most to each person.
Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas can help uncover patterns linked to past experiences or family of origin issues. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. Existential ideas help people face difficult questions about meaning, choice and commitment when life feels uncertain.
She offers both shorter focused work and longer-term therapy, and reviews progress regularly with clients. People who want straightforward, practical conversations about difficult feelings will find her style approachable and steady.

How Diane's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Diane uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters most to each person, offering patient listening and responsive feedback to help people feel heard. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice recurring patterns and links to earlier life experiences, which can clarify why certain problems keep returning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will discuss options and help decide what fits best for a person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people meet from their usual surroundings while keeping appointments manageable around work or family commitments.
