About Diane
Diane Vincent is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and has a particular focus on guilt and shame.
She trained at CPPD Counselling School and holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. Diane draws on humanistic ideas that focus on the present and on supporting a clearer sense of self. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier experiences may still shape current feelings and behaviours.
Sessions look at what is happening now and how earlier patterns may repeat. Diane helps people talk through difficult feelings, notice recurring patterns, and consider different ways of responding. She often connects her background in the creative industries with clients’ experiences of uncertainty, burnout and questions of identity and purpose.
Her work uses a mix of humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives alongside practical techniques chosen to suit each person. Conversations can include exploring relationships, attachment or communication problems, and the impact of shame or guilt. Diane supports those facing isolation, social anxiety, control issues and mood disorders.
She works in English and French and sees people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Diane asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session so she can understand what they want to focus on and how to begin.
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online sessions
She combines humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. Humanistic work focuses on present experience and helps a person name feelings and clarify values. This approach can help with ongoing shame and questions about identity or purpose. Psychodynamic work looks at how early relationships and past patterns influence current behaviour and emotions, which can be useful for repeated feelings of guilt or attachment concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use, based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as understanding grows and new issues emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or use fewer technical resources when needed. They can also allow for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that work around creative or non-traditional working hours.
