Diane Salisbury offers a warm, person-centred approach to therapy. She uses straightforward, empathetic conversation to help people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Diane aims to make the first conversations calm and understandable so people can decide what they want from therapy.

She combines client-centred work with psychodynamic and mindfulness perspectives to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences may shape reactions.

Background and approach

Diane also draws on Jungian ideas to consider personal meaning and inner imagery when that helps exploration. Common areas she helps with include coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, eating and sleep difficulties, chronic illness, career worries and compassion fatigue.

Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems. Diane has 12 years' experience working with a wide range of concerns. She aims to work at a pace that suits each person, balancing practical coping strategies with deeper reflection on personal patterns.

Regular reviews of progress help keep sessions focused and relevant. She holds a degree in Psychosocial Studies and a diploma in counselling, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Diane practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Diane blends client-centred work and mindfulness with psychodynamic thinking to support people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with low self-esteem, life decisions and relationship worries. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeating patterns and emotional history to make sense of current struggles and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and shape sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process where the approach can change as needs shift, and regular reviews help check progress and direction.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler connection. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, paced reflection or when someone wants to work in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
