Diane Vincent, BACP

Diane Vincent is a Humanistic Integrative counsellor based in Hackney, London, who combines relational warmth with reflective depth to support people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and low self-esteem. She holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from CPPD Counselling School - a postgraduate qualification in counselling practice - and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Diane brings insights from a background in the creative industries, which inform her understanding of work-related pressures such as burnout, identity questions, and the challenge of sustaining self-expression under uncertainty. That lived and professional experience shapes a practice that resonates with clients from creative and non-traditional career paths as well as a wider range of backgrounds.

Her therapeutic style integrates humanistic principles - focusing on present experience, self-awareness, and a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship - with psychodynamic ideas that explore how earlier life patterns can influence current feelings and behaviour. This combined approach aims to address immediate struggles while also uncovering deeper patterns to support lasting change. Diane works in English and French and has three years of experience supporting people with mood disorders, attachment and communication issues, identity concerns, and related challenges.

Humanistic and Psychodynamic Support Delivered Online

Diane offers humanistic and psychodynamic approaches in online sessions. Humanistic therapy focuses on the present moment and the therapeutic relationship, offering empathic listening and support to help clients develop self-awareness, build self-worth, and address issues such as anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Psychodynamic work explores how early relationships and past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour, helping to identify recurring patterns that can contribute to relationship difficulties, mood challenges, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Diane collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as insight and trust grow. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible ways to engage in therapy while maintaining consistent access to support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life, and allow registered professionals and therapists to offer timely, ongoing care that meets a variety of communication preferences.
