Diane Salisbury
Compassionate, experienced counsellor for life changes
About Diane
Diane Salisbury offers a warm, person-focused way of working that helps people talk through difficult feelings and life changes. She draws on 12 years of experience to create a calm space where clients can make sense of their situation and find practical steps forward. Diane keeps language simple and sessions straightforward.
She listens first and then helps people notice patterns that may be keeping them stuck. This can include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship or intimacy worries, and difficulties with work or career.
Background and approach
Her background combines psychosocial studies, psychology and sociology. She also holds a diploma in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she uses client-centred listening alongside psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness practices to help people understand how past experiences shape present feeling.
Jungian and existential perspectives inform exploration of meaning, identity and deeper life questions. Diane supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness and body image concerns. She also helps those coping with family of origin issues, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the strain of parenting.
Work can be short term or longer term depending on need. Progress is reviewed regularly so the way forward can be adjusted. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by several formats to suit different lives.

Therapeutic depth and practical support online
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens openly and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name feelings and decide on next steps. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk and to build self-understanding.Mindfulness therapy offers simple, practical tools for managing stress and emotional overwhelm. It teaches attention and breathing exercises that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and focus. Psychodynamic ideas help people see how earlier experiences shape current reactions and relationships, so recurring patterns can be changed with time and reflection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Sessions can be reviewed and adjusted as understanding grows.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing written reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
