Diane Salisbury, BACP

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which helps people clarify what matters and find their own solutions. Psychodynamic work looks at repeated patterns and early experiences to understand current difficulties, which can be useful for long-standing relationship or attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Diane will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful, combining approaches as needed to match goals and preferences. Conversations in early sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how therapy can best support that.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into workdays, manage childcare or continue therapy while travelling, and they keep the focus on making regular progress rather than on location alone.
