About Divina
Divina Daryanani is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship or intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, motivation issues and life changes. Divina also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear aims and small steps people can try between meetings. Divina adapts her dialogue and plan to each person's situation rather than using a set script. She writes treatment plans with everyday language so goals are easy to track.
Clients can expect a direct but gentle style that attends to emotion and behaviour. Divina pays attention to patterns such as attachment or family of origin issues, and to areas like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and ADHD. She names these topics and helps people break them down into manageable pieces.
She works with a broad range of life concerns including career stress, parenting strain, anger and compassion fatigue. Intimacy and commitment worries are addressed alongside communication problems and dependence difficulties. The focus is on what people can do now to feel less stuck.
Divina asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first session so the work begins quickly. Her way of working suits people who want straightforward guidance, practical strategies and a space to talk through difficult emotions related to guilt or shame and other stresses.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Divina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and relationships. One common approach looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with anxiety, sleep and eating problems. Another approach focuses on relationship and attachment patterns, helping people understand how past relationships shape current closeness and trust issues, which is useful for intimacy and commitment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and decides together which techniques to try first. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can be adjusted to what helps most.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since none were listed in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can have therapy around work or caregiving commitments. Appropriately qualified therapists tailor pacing and homework to suit daily life rather than assuming a single way of working.
