I am an integrative arts psychotherapist, companioning adults from diverse backgrounds and life stages, in coming home to themselves for healing, growth, self-development and change. Some common themes we tend to are depression, self-esteem and confidence, life transitions, grief, dreams and nightmares, and spiritual and existential concerns. Drawing from multiple modalities, I practise with a blend of traditional and contemporary Talk Therapy, Arts Therapy and Dreamwork, with creative and experiential approaches, through a psycho-spiritual lens. I am guided by my clients and their present moment experiences.

I support individuals who are struggling with a range of life challenges. This may be a situational issue or more ongoing challenges in life where you have notice repeated patterns. This could be things like struggling with mental health, emotional overwhelm, stress, relational issues or breakdown, life transition, work or study pressure, substance misuse, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and childhood trauma. I also support adults experiencing relationship/marriage and family problems. It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive about engaging in therapy even though it can be very beneficial in many ways.

Hi! I'm Diana. I'm a registered Psychotherapist with over 25 years experience working in Private Practice. The reality of life is that it's filled with ups and downs. At times we can feel lost, stuck or overwhelmed. Relationships can be difficult to navigate. Marriages can go through periods of distress and disconnection. Or sometimes we cannot find a way out of our grief and loss. Trying to cope alone we often end up going around in circles. I'm passionate about providing a safe, and caring space for you to talk, work through, or resolve, whatever life situation you are experiencing.

It was a long time ago and it no longer affects me, right? Not necessarily! When we experience trauma we create strong- and unconscious- survival mechanisms that keep signalling danger, even when there is none. This is what we call a trigger. We also (unconsciously) look for familiar situations where the trauma is repeated looking for control of the situation or a different outcome. So the past is much more than the past. Going deep inside yourself in a safe, non judgmental space and explore who you are and who you no longer have to be will bring you life long benefits.

People come to me with all kinds of concerns—they often sound like "I don’t know what I need, I just know I need help," "I’ve never spoken about this before," or "I feel like I'm so far behind." Some say, "I’m stuck in recurring relationship patterns and want to explore them more deeply." Whether we start from anxiety, low self-esteem, an eating disorder, loneliness, a breakup, or childhood issues, I help empower you heal and move forward.
