About Diana

Diana Ingram is a counsellor with 22 years of professional experience in Australia and PACFA credentialing. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and parenting challenges. Diana approaches sessions with respect for each person’s experience and strengths. She frames seeking help as a brave first step and offers steady support along the way.

Over more than two decades Diana has worked with individuals, couples, children and adolescents. Her background includes work with First Nations communities, migrants, neurodiverse people and gender diverse clients. This variety has shaped a flexible, patient style that suits different life circumstances.

In sessions she listens first and follows the person’s lead. Diana uses Client-Centred Therapy as a foundation, which means she prioritises the client’s perspective and pace. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas and cognitive behavioural tools when these suit a person’s goals.

Diana helps people break down problems into small, manageable steps. She supports practical skills for coping with anxiety, for improving communication, and for making decisions during life changes. Parents often find the approach practical and grounded.

Her work respects cultural and personal differences and aims to build on existing strengths. People who want a calm, empathetic counsellor who will listen carefully may find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Diana uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the client’s perspective central, which means listening closely and following the person’s pace. This approach helps when someone needs a trusting space to talk through parenting worries, anxiety or grief.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and practical actions. ACT can help people who feel stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts and still move toward the life they want.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Diana will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then recommend techniques that match each person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. They also make it simpler to continue work between appointments and to use short practical tasks during the week.
