About Dipti
Dipti Vira is a PACFA-registered (Clinical) counsellor with 10 years of experience working in clinical, hospital and private practice settings in India, Singapore and now Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Her practice also addresses problems such as guilt and shame alongside attachment, body image and caregiver stress.
Dipti draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques listed in her biography, including cognitive therapies, clinical hypnosis and person-centred therapy. She adapts these approaches to the person in front of her rather than using a single method. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and understanding the patterns that keep someone stuck.
In the room she talks through thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety and guilt. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practise alternative responses and build small routines that support mood and coping. Clinical hypnosis is used as one of several tools when it fits the person’s goals.
Dipti has worked across different cultures and settings, so she pays attention to how family, faith and cultural expectations shape feelings of shame or responsibility. She aims to make therapy straightforward and goal-focused, with space to address the practical impacts of stress on daily life.
Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati and Hindi. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary with location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions fit
Dipti uses cognitive therapies to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. This approach is practical and often useful for anxiety, depression and persistent guilt where thoughts and actions feed each other.She also works with person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can lead the pace and topics of change. Clinical hypnosis is listed as an additional technique she may use; it is presented as one tool among others to support relaxation, habit change or shifting habitual responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dipti collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online arrangements can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commuting time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Appropriately registered therapists can use different tools to support clear, focused sessions that suit everyday life.
