Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Diane

Diane draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships to improve connection and security, often helping those with relationship difficulties and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Diane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines the client’s perspective with therapeutic tools to shape a personalised plan.

Online therapy offers flexible options for engaging in that work. Sessions may take place by video call or phone, and additional support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across different life circumstances while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
