About Diana
Diana Ingram is PACFA credentialed and has 22 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family challenges. She also addresses related issues such as chronic pain and illness, control and communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Diana speaks plainly in sessions and treats clients as the experts of their own story. She listens for strengths clients already use. Then she helps them try small, practical changes they can use between meetings. Her style draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work.
She has experience supporting individuals, couples, children and adolescents. Diana has also worked with clients from First Nations communities, migrants, neurodiverse people, and those who are gender diverse. Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic and family violence and first responder issues.
Sessions focus on building clearer communication, managing overwhelming emotions, and untangling guilt or shame that stays with someone long after events have passed. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then practise different responses in real life. Practical skills, small experiments and reflective conversation tend to feature in her work.
People who start with Diana often want straightforward help sorting daily pressures, parenting strains or painful memories. She asks about goals early on and then checks in about how approaches are working as therapy continues.
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then pick actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, shame and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete skills to test unhelpful thinking and change routines that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, which can be useful when guilt or shame relate to family of origin or attachment wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so changes can be made if something is not helping.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. In session she typically combines practical exercises, short behavioural experiments to try between meetings, and reflective discussion to track what works and what needs adjusting.
