If you feel like you logically understand your problems but still can't seem to change your automatic reactions, you aren't alone. Traditional talk therapy often focuses solely on the conscious mind, while pure hypnotherapy may lack practical day-to-day strategies. My approach bridges this gap by integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This dual-level methodology addresses both the conscious thoughts and the deep-seated subconscious patterns that drive behaviours like anxiety, insomnia, and addiction.

With over five years' experience, I support people facing life's challenges, including addiction, anger, infidelity, financial stress, parenting concerns, men's issues, life crises, and involvement with the justice system.
I work with couples, adults and young people who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, substance use, and patterns of behaviour that no longer serve them. Many of the people I support feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life they want to be living. Together, we explore the impact of past experiences, build practical coping strategies, and work towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and lasting change. Additionally, I work with couples who are experiencing struggles within their relationship and want to explore new ways to communicate more effectively.

You know what it’s like to feel “almost there” in life—growing personally, nurturing relationships, and learning healing tools—yet the same stuck patterns resurface. Maybe it’s in your partnership, self-confidence, or even how you respond under stress. You’re longing for depth, clarity, and a way forward—not just temporary fixes. That’s where trauma-informed therapeutic coaching helps. I work with emotionally curious individuals and couples who seek lasting change, without jargon or overwhelm. Together, we’ll compassionately navigate old patterns, rebuild connection, and chart a path to emotional resilience & relational fulfilment.

This might include noticing the same kinds of dynamics or conflicts showing up across different relationships (not just with partners). I also work with people adjusting to life following critical illness or injury. I have a particular interest in psychological adjustment following hospitalisation, including intensive care (ICU), and its impact on patients and those close to them. I am registered with the TAC. I also see people struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, burnout, perfectionism, and adjusting to change.

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.

I aim to offer a space where men can slow down and begin to make sense of experiences that feel stuck, challenging, or difficult to hold alone. You may find yourself here in the midst of transition, loss, relational difficulty, or uncertainty - or simply when familiar ways of living or coping no longer feel sustainable, and life begins to feel less steady than before. In this work, we turn toward what is present with care and curiosity - the patterns, the parts, the places in you that formed long ago in response to life, relationships, and the broader environments you have moved through.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
