Therapeutic approaches and remote support
Diane uses approaches that emphasise values, relationships and the individual’s experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings of safety, trust and intimacy, helping couples and families improve connection and communication. Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s perspective at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and support so people can explore their identity, self-esteem and growth at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Diane works collaboratively to identify what best suits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they experiment, reflect and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Diane is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, continue therapy during life changes, and maintain continuity of care while working with registered professionals and therapists who adapt methods to an online setting.
