About Dipti

Dipti Vira is a PACFA practitioner with 10 years of experience working in clinical, hospital and private practice settings across India, Singapore and Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati and Hindi.

Dipti uses a mix of practical strategies and listening to help people make small changes. She draws on cognitive approaches, clinical hypnosis and person-centred ideas to address thoughts, habits and unhelpful patterns. Conversations focus on clear steps a person can try between sessions.

Her background includes work in hospitals and private clinics, which shaped a straightforward style. She explains techniques simply and checks in about how they fit with a person’s culture and day-to-day life. That practical focus helps people manage symptoms and routines.

Dipti supports people with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, guilt, compulsions and phobias. She also helps with life purpose, money worries and midlife transitions.

Australian-based clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Dipti works with evidence-based techniques tailored to the person. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These methods are useful for social anxiety, worry and low self-esteem. Clinical hypnosis is used as a guided method to help with relaxation, habit change and shifting responses to stress. Person-centred work emphasises clear listening and building on a person’s own strengths to support decision making and communication challenges. Finding the best approach is collaborative. Dipti will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. She checks how techniques are working and adjusts the plan together as sessions continue. The practice’s session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and letting people join from different locations. Discuss format preferences when you schedule to pick what fits your routine and needs.
