About Diane
Diane Salisbury is a counsellor who uses an existential approach to help people make sense of difficult experiences. She focuses on what matters to each person and on choices they can make now. Diane offers calm, down-to-earth support for everyday struggles and deeper questions about meaning and identity.
She has 12 years of practice and a background in psychosocial studies, psychology and sociology. Diane also holds a counselling diploma and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She draws on different ways of working to match the person in front of her, rather than following one fixed method. In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what is causing stress, anxiety or low mood. Diane works with a wide range of concerns including relationship worries, parenting pressures, grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and career or motivation difficulties.
She also supports people facing identity issues and challenges such as ADHD, chronic illness, or compassion fatigue. Her style is practical and reflective. Expect straightforward conversation, quieter reflection and occasional exercises to try between meetings.
Progress is reviewed together so the work stays relevant to current needs. Diane offers therapy by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
How existential and client-centred work translates online
Diane draws on existential ideas that ask what matters most in a person’s life and how they want to live. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about identity and purpose. It focuses on values, choices and making sense of difficult feelings.She also uses client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening without judgement, reflecting what arises and moving at the client’s pace to build clarity and self-understanding. Jungian ideas may be used occasionally to look at dreams, personal symbols or recurring themes if the person finds that helpful.
Finding the best approach is a joint task. Diane will talk through options and adapt techniques to each person’s goals and preferences. The plan is reviewed regularly, so the work stays relevant as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed on a break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing coaching or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
