About Diane

Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who uses an open, person-focused approach to help people through hard times. She aims to make conversations straightforward and calm so clients can talk about what matters. Diane draws on 12 years of experience and holds a diploma in counselling plus a degree in Psychosocial Studies.

She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her work centres on listening closely and following what each person brings.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred methods to build trust and help people make sense of their feelings. Diane also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Mindfulness practices are included to help with stress, anxiety and sleep problems.

Diane supports people coping with relationship issues, low self-esteem and life changes. She also helps with grief, trauma, parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment problems, body image and chronic illness concerns.

Sessions can be short-term to meet a specific goal or longer term to explore deeper life patterns. Diane checks in regularly about progress and adjusts the work to what the client needs. She aims to keep things clear and practical while listening for the issues beneath the surface.

People meet Diane online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person, with options to focus on skills, understanding, or both.

Ways of working Diane names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space where people can talk through what matters to them. It helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and general life stress by following the client's pace and priorities.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and help with sleep and stress regulation. These techniques are easy to practise between sessions and can be suited to busy schedules.

Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas look at repeating patterns and deeper emotional themes that influence current behaviour. Working online can still allow time to reflect on these patterns and notice changes in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will try different ways of working until the best fit emerges.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone calls can fit a short break from work, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
