Diane Vincent

Diane Vincent is a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor based in Hackney, London. She holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from CPPD Counselling School and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Before and during her training Diane worked in the creative industries, which gave her a clear understanding of pressures common in that sector - from uncertainty and burnout to questions of identity, purpose and self-expression. Those insights inform her practice and help her relate to clients from creative and non-traditional backgrounds.

Her therapeutic approach brings together humanistic principles and psychodynamic theory with tailored techniques to support a range of emotional and psychological challenges. Humanistic therapy is founded on the idea that people have the capacity for growth, self-awareness and healing; it emphasises the present moment and the quality of the therapeutic relationship, offering a non-judgemental, empathetic space in which clients can explore their experience and build a stronger sense of self.

Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier life experiences may shape current thoughts, feelings and behaviours outside conscious awareness. By making these patterns more visible within the therapy relationship, psychodynamic exploration can help uncover underlying issues and support lasting insight and change.

Combining humanistic and psychodynamic approaches gives a balanced route to self-awareness and lasting change by addressing immediate experience alongside deeper unconscious patterns. Diane has 3 years of experience working with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations and life experiences, supporting those affected by anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem difficulties, relationship problems, questions around sexuality and gender identity, and bereavement. She offers therapy as a female therapist and maintains a professional, approachable practice.
