About Diana
Diana Ingram is a counsellor credentialed with PACFA who has worked in Australia for 22 years. She supports people facing stress, anxiety and trauma, and assists parents navigating the strain of raising children. Diana also helps people struggling with depression and relationship or family difficulties.
Her approach starts from the belief that clients know their own story and strengths. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what is happening. Diana aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable steps and focusing on what matters to each person.
She draws on practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new habits. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she pays attention to relationships and emotional needs.
Across her career she has worked with couples, individuals, children and adolescents, and with people from First Nations communities, migrant backgrounds, neurodiverse people and gender-diverse people. She brings that mix of experience to everyday conversations about stress, panic, parenting and past hurt.
Sessions are delivered with straightforward language and a focus on achievable change. Diana encourages small experiments between sessions so people can test what helps, then adjust the plan as they go. Those who want a steady, collaborative guide through panic, anxiety or family strain may find her style supportive.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety and panic when avoidance increases distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour through practical exercises and experiments, which can reduce unhelpful cycles that feed panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current emotional responses and can help people understand patterns in their close relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress, adapting the plan as needed so it fits the person’s life and aims.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online work useful for fitting sessions into busy days, reducing travel time, and keeping regular contact during times of stress. Shorter check-ins or scheduled sessions can make it easier to maintain momentum while juggling family, work or medical commitments.
