Successful relationships are the basis of our well-being and good mental health. When relationships are stressed and conflicts start to escalate, the pain can be overwhelming. You are so busy every day helping others that you may feel like you haven’t enough to give to anyone at the day’s end. When your focus at work is helping others, it can feel even more lonely and distressing to feel disconnected at home with your partner. If you're finding that the same problems, the same arguments, aches and disappointments are on repeat mode, it's time to reach out for help.

Are you feeling stuck or perhaps overwhelmed? You might be at the 'cross-roads' in an area of your personal and/or professional life and you aren't clear on how to move forward. We can get caught up in worrying about what's happened (this could be 5 minutes ago, 5 months or even 5+ years ago ) or perhaps, worrying about future what-if scenarios that keep you stuck. The good news is, by learning to apply simple yet powerful evidence-based tools to help you move forward with purpose and emotional resilience. Invest in your wellbeing and book an appointment today.

You know relationships are important. When they are not working out, the pain can be overwhelming. You feel stuck because as a trained helping professional you expect more of yourself and your partner. It is so difficult to even begin to consider getting help when you also work in health care or mental health! It is not like you are willing to see just anyone! You know the research tips to improve the relationship, but you just can't seem to apply them at home. That hurts! You understand it might have something to do with a difficult past or trauma but that does not help you to manage the conflict. You start to feel despairing.

I am a trauma-focussed psychologist with advanced training in Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR); I am accredited by the EMDR Association of Australia as both a practitioner and supervisor for EMDR therapy, and thus you can have confidence in the quality of service you get from me! I am a therapist with deep care, warmth, respect and hope for everyone I work with. I am passionate about going beyond helping you simply cope with your difficulties, and rather, want to assist you in addressing the underlying issues and traumas that contribute. My ultimate goal is to help you genuinely heal, recover, grow and thrive.

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.

I work one to one with people aged 18 and over who are seeking support with issues such as: domestic violence & abuse; relationship boundaries; self-compassion & self-esteem; trauma (including early life trauma); life transitions and grief & loss. 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 work with older adolescents (16+) and adults experiencing anxiety and trauma. Are you feeling restlessness, struggling with anxious thoughts, and avoiding situations, places, or people due to worry? Have your life experiences caused you to feel easily triggered and now affect how you see yourself and other people? I can support you to heal your nervous system, learn healthy coping strategies, reduce self-criticism and improve your self-worth, set boundaries, and establish healthy, reciprocal, and trusting relationships. My goal is to make each person I work with feel seen, understood and accepted.

I feel passionately about providing a safe space for my clients to talk, feel, explore, develop skills and ultimately to heal. Many of us are carrying painful memories, anxious thoughts, difficult emotions and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I believe when you find someone you can connect with, you can begin the process of healing and developing not only better relationships with others but with yourself. If you're looking for someone to accompany you on that journey, I would consider it an honour to be your companion.

Life is tough sometimes. Sometimes much of our life is tough. Where once we had extended family, tribal elders, caring friends, the shaman or others to support us is navigating life's challenges, many of us don't have those supports anymore. Our modern world has made seeking therapy a necessity as other options aren't available. The team at InsideArts believes in everyone's capacity for kindness, growth and acheiving their personal best. Whether a child or an adult, we believe a "strive to thrive" is fundamental. All it takes often is a little support to bring out the best in every child, teen and adult.

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.
