About Diane
Diane Slater is a warm, approachable counsellor who holds BACP membership and practises in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. Diane aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement.
She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage intense emotions and overwhelming thoughts. Sessions often begin by identifying what matters most to the person and setting small, manageable steps to build confidence and coping skills.
Background and approach
Diane pays attention to patterns in relationships and attachment, and how they affect mood and self-worth. Diane also supports people dealing with life changes such as separation, bereavement or caring responsibilities. She helps clients untangle feelings like guilt, shame, isolation and anger so they can make clearer choices.
Work can involve developing communication skills, rebuilding routines, and learning to respond differently to old triggers. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Diane offers phone, video, live chat and text-based messaging as session formats to fit different needs and lifestyles.
She works at a measured pace, matching the work to each person’s goals and readiness. With five years of professional experience, Diane supports people through painful moments toward greater emotional steadiness. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to be a steady presence through that process.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Diane will discuss your goals and preferences, try a few techniques, and adjust the work based on what helps most. This collaborative way means the therapy plan can change as you progress or as new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you see gestures and facial cues, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need flexibility outside traditional session times. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules shift.
