Diane Salisbury, BACP

Diane Salisbury is a therapist with more than 12 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. She aims to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore troubling thoughts and emotions, build self-awareness, and work toward clearer, more manageable ways of living. Diane adapts her style to suit each person - offering both short-term focused work and longer-term exploration - and regularly reviews progress to ensure sessions remain useful and relevant.

Her approach is grounded in empathy and practical support, helping clients to identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. Diane's educational background includes a degree in Psychosocial Studies and a diploma in counselling, and she is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with clients from diverse backgrounds on a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma, ADHD, family and parenting issues, self-esteem, career challenges, and intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging, with the format and focus tailored to each person's needs and preferences.

Approach-Focused Support in Online Therapy

Diane often draws on client-centered therapy, which places the client at the heart of the work and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people clarify their goals and build self-understanding. This approach suits those seeking a supportive space to explore feelings and make practical changes. She also uses existential therapy to help clients examine meaning, choice, and identity when facing life transitions, loss, or feelings of emptiness - useful for people wrestling with purpose or major changes. In addition, psychodynamic therapy can be offered to explore how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current behaviour and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for long-standing relational difficulties and patterns of avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Diane works collaboratively with each client to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She will adapt techniques over time as goals evolve and progress is reviewed.

Online therapy with Diane is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit work and family life. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
