About Diane

Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who uses a conversational, person-focused style to help people make sense of difficult emotions and life changes. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through stress, relationship problems, grief and worries about identity or work. Diane holds BACP accreditation, and she draws on years of experience to guide each conversation.

She works in a clear, down-to-earth way that keeps practical needs in view. Sessions often explore how current struggles connect to past experiences and everyday patterns. Diane tailors the pace and focus to each person, offering shorter-term problem solving or longer-term work when that feels right.

Diane’s background is in psychology, sociology and personal development, including a degree in Psychosocial Studies and a diploma in counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Common concerns she helps people with include anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and career questions. She also works with experiences such as trauma, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

In therapy she uses approaches that encourage self-awareness and exploration, such as Client-Centred, Psychodynamic and Mindfulness methods. Over time clients review progress together, and sessions are adjusted to keep them moving towards the goals they set.

Diane practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and arrangements using the Start Therapy process on the site.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It focuses on the client's own goals and pace, helping with issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy invites gentle attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily experience. It can help reduce stress, calm anxiety and support better sleeping and eating habits through simple awareness practices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diane will discuss options and adapt methods to your needs, goals and preferences so the sessions feel useful. This is a collaborative process, and plans are reviewed as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy week, make it easier to check in during a work break, or allow for shorter or longer sessions when that suits your routine. Registered or accredited professionals use different approaches to make remote work practical and focused on your goals.
