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. Diana also helps with issues such as chronic pain and illness, commitment or control problems, dissociation, and life purpose questions.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Diana uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice what matters to them and make choices that fit their life circumstances.
She has experience supporting individuals across many life stages, and has worked with couples, children and adolescents. Diana has also worked with clients from First Nations communities, migrants, people who are neurodiverse, and people who are gender diverse. That breadth informs how she adapts conversations to fit different backgrounds.
In a session she checks what someone most wants to change and offers clear techniques to try. Techniques come from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working. People can expect straightforward talk and practical exercises to test between sessions.
Diana stresses small, manageable steps when someone feels stuck. She supports people through relationship shifts, parenting strains, separation, grief around health changes, and navigating what matters next. The emphasis is on finding workable moves forward rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Diana commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and commit to actions that align with those values while developing flexibility around difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts techniques over time to better fit the person's needs.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If someone needs alternatives for quieter or lower-bandwidth conversations, those practical options can be discussed when arranging sessions.
