Hi, I'm Diandra! If you're anything like the clients I work with, you might be coping on the surface, but underneath you feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with the past or are caught in habits that leave you disconnected, guilty or ashamed. You might be drinking, using substances or engaging in other unhelpful behaviours to cope. Maybe you're avoiding difficult feelings or feel exhausted by the same relationship patterns that never seem to shift. If you’re looking to make changes and better understand yourself, I take a practical approach to help you move forward with a focus on what truly matters to you.
I work with adults experiencing trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. I am particularly passionate about working with men, helping them feel at ease in the therapy space - especially if it's new territory! I also bring experience in EMDR, to support clients to to work through trauma.
I would be a good fit if you’re seeking support for longer-term issues, past experiences and building greater self-understanding. I believe meaningful change happens slowly, through consistent and thoughtful work. Outside of my loved role as a psychologist, I enjoy exercise, cooking and baking sourdough (which I take embarrassingly seriously).
Take the first step to help. Diandra Peters now
