Diane Salisbury, BACP

Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who uses a warm, down-to-earth style to help people talk through difficult feelings and life changes. She draws on 12 years of experience and works to create a comfortable space where clients can be heard without judgement. Diane holds a diploma in counselling and a degree in Psychosocial Studies, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her sessions focus on practical conversations about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy. Diane supports work on parenting challenges, eating or sleeping problems, career stress and compassion fatigue. ADHD, LGBT concerns and longstanding family or attachment issues are additional areas she addresses.

Diane blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic and existential ideas to help people understand recurring patterns. She also brings in mindfulness practices and some Jungian perspectives when these suit a client's needs. The emphasis is on exploring feelings, making sense of experiences and trying out new ways of coping.

Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs. Progress is checked regularly so the approach can be adjusted as work unfolds. Diane aims to help people build clearer ways of handling day-to-day stress and emotional pain.

Her background in psychology, sociology and personal development informs a practical, reflective practice. People who come to her can expect steady listening, gentle challenge and collaboration on small, realistic steps forward.

How Diane's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It aims to create an accepting space where people can talk honestly and find their own solutions, which helps with anxiety, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. It helps people notice long-standing habits and feelings so they can choose different responses to stress, grief or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diane will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Please confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work, childcare or travel, and for having shorter check-ins when a full in-person meeting is not possible. Discussing preferences at the first appointment helps shape a plan that fits everyday life and practical constraints.
