About Diane

Diane Vincent works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She uses humanistic and psychodynamic ideas together and she is a BACP member with three years' experience as a counsellor.

Diane trained on an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling at CPPD Counselling School. She practises an integrative style that draws on humanistic principles and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions focus on what is happening now while also noticing how past experiences can shape current patterns.

Her background in the creative industries informs how she works. She understands pressures such as job uncertainty, burnout, identity questions and the demands of creative roles. That experience helps her relate to people from non-traditional and creative workplaces.

In practice she offers conversational, reflective sessions. She helps people talk through feelings, recognise repeating patterns and test out new ways of relating. The emphasis is on increased self-awareness and clearer choices about how to respond to stress and relationship problems.

Diane has worked with a variety of concerns tied to attachment and loss, including abandonment, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with mood and personality-related difficulties and with matters connected to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions are conducted in English and French. She works with people across cultural backgrounds and different gender and sexual identities. For initial steps she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Humanistic counselling focuses on the present and on building self-awareness. It involves open conversation about current feelings, values and choices and can help with stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and early relationships can influence current patterns. It helps people notice repeated behaviours and emotional responses so they can consider different ways of acting and feeling.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will discuss options with the client and together they will decide which elements to use based on the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of working with a counsellor remotely include fitting sessions around work or caring responsibilities and reducing travel time. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Registered and accredited professionals often use different arrangements to suit each person's routine, and Diane will outline the available options when you begin the matching process.
