About Dianna
Dianna Chase is an ACA counsellor with six years' experience working in Australia. She helps people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and major life changes. Her practice also includes support for caregiving stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, isolation and questions around life purpose and self-love.
Dianna focuses on practical conversation. She listens to what feels overwhelming and helps people break problems down into manageable steps. Sessions often involve looking at what is getting in the way now and trying small, realistic shifts that can be used between meetings.
People contact her when they feel stuck after a relationship change, a loss, or a shift at work. She talks through coping strategies for grief and the pressures carers face. She also helps people consider what matters next when previous plans no longer fit.
Her approach is straightforward and task-oriented. Dianna encourages clear communication skills and practical ways to handle conflict. She works with clients on routines and habits that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Dianna asks clients to name their priorities early on so sessions are focused from the start. She supports people to test options, weigh choices and notice what helps in real life. The aim is to find steps that feel doable and relevant to each person's situation.
Therapeutic methods and working online
Dianna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One approach emphasises building clearer communication and conflict-handling skills to reduce relational stress and improve everyday interactions. This helps people find better ways to set boundaries and talk through disagreements.Another approach concentrates on coping with loss and overwhelming emotions. It involves gentle pacing, naming what has been lost, and learning small routines that make daily life easier while grief is processed. These methods suit people managing bereavement, separation or other transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Dianna works collaboratively to identify which methods match the client's goals and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions remain practical and relevant.
