About Diane
Diane Vincent helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and relationship strain. She is Diane Vincent and she works from a humanistic and psychodynamic perspective. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Diane trained in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background in the creative industries shaped her understanding of work-related pressures like burnout, identity questions and uncertainty.
How Diane works
In sessions she focuses on the present and on the relationship between counsellor and client. That creates space to talk about what is happening now and to try new ways of responding. She also looks at how past experiences may still affect feelings and behaviour today.
This combined approach helps people notice patterns and develop clearer self-understanding. Practical ideas and gentle reflection are used alongside deeper conversation about early life and repeated dynamics. Diane adapts pace and focus to each person’s needs.
She works in English and French and has experience with a broad range of issues beyond the main specialties. These include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication difficulties, isolation and questions of life purpose. Diane aims to support people who want to understand themselves better and make changes that last.

How Diane’s approaches translate to online therapy
Her humanistic approach focuses on the here-and-now and on building a trusting relationship. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what matters today and on practical steps the client can try between meetings. It is useful for worry, low mood and finding clearer ways to cope.Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. This involves gentle reflection on patterns that repeat over time and how they show up in relationships. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and begin to make different choices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Diane will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques as therapy progresses. That collaborative process aims to match the method to the person rather than imposing one way of working.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work and family life. Video helps keep visual contact for deeper conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and keep therapy consistent.
