Diane Salisbury, BACP

Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who combines a warm, down-to-earth style with reflective therapeutic methods. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, midlife transitions and other worries. Diane makes time for listening and helps people identify practical next steps they can try between sessions.

Her work draws on client-centred values and psychodynamic thinking. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on how past patterns might still influence present choices. Diane also uses mindfulness and Jungian ideas to help people notice thoughts and feelings, and to find meaning when life feels unsettled.

She has twelve years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and identity. Diane supports people dealing with career strain, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She also helps those facing attachment or abandonment themes and difficulties with communication and boundaries.

Diane studied psychosocial studies and holds a diploma in counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background in psychology and sociology informs a thoughtful, person-focused practice.

People who work with Diane can expect regular review of how therapy is progressing. She offers both shorter-term and longer-term work, tailoring sessions to the individual and checking in about helpful changes as therapy continues.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Diane uses client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking alongside mindfulness to guide her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on accepting listening and helping people find their own solutions; it can be useful for stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns and how earlier experiences shape present choices, which can help with attachment issues, abandonment themes and long-standing emotional patterns. Mindfulness brings simple attention practices that support anxiety, sleeplessness and coping with strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diane will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. She reviews progress regularly and adapts the style of sessions if different support would be more helpful.

Please confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote work feel practical and manageable while focusing on the issues you want to address.
