Welcome! I offer counselling that is tailored to your situation with a focus on achieving change that is meaningful to you. Life is undoubtedly tricky sometimes. Taking time out to gain new perspectives and make sense of your experience can help. I have a warm, genuine, empathic and often humorous approach, based on over 18 years experience. I enjoy connecting with adults, teens and children and would like to invite you to call and discuss your situation today.

Hi! I'm Diana. I'm a registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience working in Private Practice. The reality of life is that it's filled with ups and downs. At times we can feel lost, stuck or overwhelmed. Relationships can be difficult to navigate. Marriages can go through periods of distress and disconnection. Or sometimes we cannot find a way out of our grief and loss. Trying to cope alone we often end up going around in circles. I'm passionate about providing a safe, non-judgemental and caring space for you to talk, work through, or resolve, whatever life situation you are experiencing.

Currently I am working via telehealth/phone or walk and talk (outside) appointments but am taking expressions of interest for people who may prefer to work face to face indoors.

I understand that high school and university can be a particularly tough time in people's lives, and I want to be there for people as an ear to listen. Not only schooling itself can be difficult, but every aspect of our lives can be - such as family, friends, extra curricular activities, risk taking, substances, and much more. It is easy to get caught up in issues with those that we are close with, so to work with a fresh set of eyes may be useful. I love learning about people's stories and will work from a non-judgemental frame of mind, because there is nothing to be ashamed of in sharing our stories.

If you are emotionally overwhelmed and unsure about future directions, talking to a trained professional can help. Processing thoughts and emotions can help you clarify your goals and plan your next steps. Traumatic experiences that have not been processed may also impact your ability to find deeper contentment and purpose. Triggers in the present that spark PTSD-like responses can impede your ability to move forward. I can provide a safe place for you to explore challenges, old and new. We can go at a pace that is comfortable for you and chart your path to more peace and clarity.

Sometimes life doesn't always go as planned. Even when you are doing your best in a difficult situation you can feel overwhelmed, exhausted, tired and fed up from your battle. Maybe you or a loved one has a diagnosis of a mental health condition and you don't know how to help yourself or your loved ones. I may be able to help you overcome your obstacles and problems with evidence based therapies that are tailored to your particular problems and circumstances. Sometimes just talking to someone about your problems and feelings is all you need. I can help with that too.

I'm looking to connect with individuals who are on a journey of introspection, exploration and unpacking thoughts, feelings and experiences. We will be working towards long-lasting change where the root cause of an issue can be addressed and processed. Each treatment is uniquely tailored to your specific needs and thus the therapeutic style is non-manualised and not necessarily focused on reaching outcomes/end results, but rather on the process of therapy and its unfolding nature.

Hello. I am a registered psychologist with twenty years experience. I treat a wide variety of issues, however, my passion area is eating, weight and emotions. I am skilled at working with clients of all weights (from underweight to overweight/obese) and address the "why" of eating/dieting behaviour rather than just the "what". It is best to tackle a problem by understanding the causes. I also work with people with binge eating disorder, bulimia, body image issues and other related problems in a caring and empowering way. If you want to manage your health by normalising your relationship with food, I may be able to help.

I support individuals who are struggling with a range of life challenges. This may be a situational issue or more ongoing challenges in life where you have notice repeated patterns. This could be things like struggling with mental health, emotional overwhelm, stress, relational issues or breakdown, life transition, work or study pressure, substance misuse, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and childhood trauma. I also support adults experiencing relationship/marriage and family problems. It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive about engaging in therapy even though it can be very beneficial in many ways.
