About Diana
Diana Ingram is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 22 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family difficulties. Diana also supports those dealing with chronic illness or pain, grief around separation, and problems like communication or control issues.
She has worked with a wide range of people over two decades, including clients from First Nations communities, migrants, neurodiverse people, and gender diverse individuals. She has experience with couples, individuals, children and adolescents. Diana emphasises that people know their own stories and brings that respect into sessions.
In practice she listens first and uses several well-known approaches to guide conversations. Methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These approaches are used to help people make sense of difficult feelings and try different ways of responding.
Sessions focus on practical strategies alongside conversations about values and relationships. That might mean learning new ways to manage stress, noticing patterns in relationships, or testing small behavioural changes between meetings. Diana aims to work collaboratively so people can try things that fit their life.
She encourages a straightforward first step for those who are unsure about therapy. A short matching questionnaire and an initial session help clarify goals and the best way to proceed. Diana supports clients as they plan the next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Diana commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and practise small, value-based steps. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and finding direction when life feels stuck.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments. CBT offers clear skills for managing worry, intrusive thoughts and everyday stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Diana will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
If you want online sessions please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work or home routines, avoid travel time, or choose quieter surroundings. The therapist will help tailor session length and focus so the work fits into everyday life.
