Diane Vincent, BACP

Diane Vincent is a humanistic integrative counsellor based in Hackney, London, with three years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from CPPD Counselling School, a postgraduate qualification that reflects advanced training in client-centred and integrative methods, and she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Diane's background in the creative industries informs her practice, offering practical insight into pressures such as burnout, uncertainty, questions of identity, and the demands of self-expression. Those experiences shape a therapeutic style that resonates with people from creative and non-traditional careers, as well as with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations.

Her approach weaves humanistic principles with psychodynamic ideas and tailored evidence-based techniques to address both present difficulties and deeper patterns formed in earlier life. The humanistic element emphasises growth, self-awareness, and an empathic therapeutic relationship, while psychodynamic work explores how past experiences unconsciously influence current feelings and behaviours. Together these perspectives aim to foster insight, improved emotional regulation, and more adaptive ways of relating to oneself and others. Diane offers therapy in English and French and draws on this integrative framework to support people navigating issues from attachment and communication problems to mood disorders and social anxiety.
