About Diane
She trained in humanistic integrative counselling and holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from CPPD Counselling School. Diane blends humanistic ideas with psychodynamic thinking to help people look at both what is happening now and patterns that may come from earlier life experiences.
In sessions she encourages practical conversation about pressures people face, including workplace stress, burnout and shifts in identity after major changes. Her background in the creative industries informs how she talks about uncertainty, self‑expression and finding direction after a career or life change.
Diane uses the relationship in the room to help clients notice repeating patterns and to try out different ways of communicating and managing emotions. She aims to help people understand sources of guilt, shame, isolation and control issues while working towards clearer choices about work and personal life.
She offers work in English and French. International clients are not currently accepted. Practical details such as cost vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How Diane uses humanistic and psychodynamic work online
Humanistic therapy focuses on what is happening now and on building greater self-awareness. It supports people who want to talk about pressure, identity, life purpose and how they respond in daily situations. Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences influence present feelings and behaviour. It helps bring recurring patterns into clearer view so people can consider different choices and responses.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Diane will discuss different approaches with each person and make decisions together based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps identify whether more present-focused work or deeper pattern exploration is a better fit at a given time.
Session formats are not specified in the provided profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use a mix of approaches to match practical life and therapeutic aims.
