Diana Ingram, PACFA

Diana Ingram is a PACFA counsellor with 22 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and trauma. She helps with parenting challenges, relationship and family problems, and depression. Her voice is calm and encouraging and she focuses on what people can do next.

Diana takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens, asks practical questions and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses simple tools from evidence-informed approaches to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Clients can expect a warm, person-centred atmosphere. Diana believes people know their story best and aims to build on existing strengths. She works collaboratively to set small, manageable goals that fit everyday life.

Her background includes supporting people who have experienced domestic and family violence, and helping first responder clients, people from First Nations communities, migrants, neurodiverse and gender-diverse people. She also has experience with chronic pain, illness and disability and separation and divorce issues.

Diana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural strategies. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication and rebuilding a sense of purpose. She is based in Australia and offers counselling in English.

Taking a first step can feel hard. Diana aims to make that step easier by listening without judgement and helping people try approaches that fit their life.

How Diana's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and living with chronic health challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connection and trust, which helps with relationship and family problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Diana will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques collaboratively. Together they decide which ideas and exercises to try and adjust those choices as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed. It also makes it possible to use exercises, worksheets and behavioural experiments between meetings, supporting steady progress without overhauling daily life.
