My approach integrates humanistic principles and psychodynamic theories with tailored techniques to support clients with a range of emotional and psychological challenges.
In my practice, I aim to create a secure, non-judgmental space where empathy and compassion are at the core of our work together. I believe in fostering an authentic relationship, one where you feel truly supported and understood. During our initial sessions, we will explore areas of your life that you wish to address, and I will work with you to support your growth and well-being.
Humanistic therapy is grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth, self-awareness, and healing. It focuses on the present moment and the therapeutic relationship, offering a non-judgemental, empathetic space where clients are supported to explore their experiences and develop a stronger sense of self.
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, particularly in early life, may influence current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours—often outside of our conscious awareness. By bringing these patterns into focus within the therapeutic relationship, it can help uncover underlying issues and support lasting emotional insight and change.
Combining humanistic and psychodynamic approaches provides a balanced path to self-awareness, healing, and lasting change by addressing both present experiences and deeper unconscious patterns.
Client Reviews
“Therapy with Diane has been a hugely positive experience. As someone who had never done therapy before, she was kind, encouraging and thoughtful with me from the start, and after two years of sessions together we have done some really meaningful work. She is professional and discreet, and fosters a warm and personal connection. I would highly recommend her.”
— C.M.“Working with Diane has been such a positive experience. She’s warm, compassionate, and creates a space where I’ve felt really comfortable opening up. She’s helped me see things more clearly and gently challenge my thinking in a way that’s made a real difference. I’ve always felt listened to and supported. I’d highly recommend her.”
— M.H.“As someone who hasn't done therapy before, Diane provided an environment that has felt very safe and comfortable, while still challenging my assumptions and patterns of thinking. I have definitely experienced a positive change since starting therapy with her and would recommend her to anyone, particularly those who are new to therapy as I was.”
