About Diana
Diana Ingram is a PACFA-credentialed counsellor in Australia with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship strain and family concerns. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness or pain, separation and divorce, and issues tied to family of origin.
Clients often come with patterns that began in childhood. Diana talks with people about roles, expectations and communication that repeat across relationships. She aims to help clients notice these patterns and make practical changes in day-to-day life.
Her practice uses straightforward talking and evidence-informed methods. Diana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognise unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide conversations about closeness, boundaries and trust.
She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including First Nations clients, migrants, neurodiverse people and gender-diverse clients. Diana has experience with both individuals and couples, and with younger clients when that is needed.
Sessions are conversational and focused on achievable steps. The aim is to make sense of current struggles, reduce overwhelm, and build clearer ways of relating to others. To begin, people usually complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters to them and experimenting with new behaviours. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and supports practical behaviour changes for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and trust. It helps when early relationship roles continue to affect adult relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit. Sessions can blend different approaches as the needs become clearer, and decisions about methods are made collaboratively.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what suits daily life. Session formats are not listed explicitly here, so confirm the current options before booking to see what is offered and how it might fit with work, childcare or other commitments.
