About Diane

Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. Diane uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people talk through what is worrying them and find steps forward.

Diane works from a few core ideas. She listens first and follows each person’s concerns rather than imposing a fixed plan. That might mean focusing on immediate coping skills for pressure and sleeplessness, or taking a deeper look at relationship patterns and past experiences that still matter today.

Background and approach

Her training includes a degree in Psychosocial Studies and a counselling diploma, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Diane blends insight-focused work with practical exercises so conversations lead to change. She explains any approach before trying it and checks in as the work progresses.

People come to Diane for many reasons, such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, career stress or difficulties with intimacy and communication. She also helps with issues like ADHD, body image and chronic illness when these affect daily life. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what feels most useful.

Diane offers talking therapies aimed at helping people understand themselves better and manage life’s challenges more easily. She keeps the tone warm and non-judgemental, and works collaboratively to set clear goals and small practical steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor offers listening, empathy and acceptance so people can explore feelings and find their own solutions. It helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to help reduce reactivity and ease racing thoughts. It is useful for stress, sleep difficulties and managing strong emotions by building present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and choose what fits the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging offers ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility and can help people maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
