About Dianna

I am sure you are aware the Victorian Government has announced that Stage 3 “Stay at home” restrictions will be reinstated across metropolitan Melbourne from 11.59 pm tonight, Wednesdya 16th July 2020. As part of these directions I will be reverting to Zoom Appointments for the next 6 weeks.

Background:

I began my career working with organisations focusing on Workplace bullying and Training and Development. I quickly branched into Executive Coaching, Mediation and Counselling and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Counselling.

I gained valuable experience as a Psychologist and Counsellor at Monash IVF, On The Line (Suicide Help Line) and Lifeline.

I begun to recognise the emergence of a common theme presented by clients: Relationship Dynamics. The importance of relationship dynamics and its influence on workplace relationships appeared to greatly infuence individuals abilities, vulnerabilities and levels of security within the workplace and other relationships.

Whilst continuing to work in organisaitons, I completed under-graduate, post graduate and Master qualifications in Psychology and organisational development to be come a registered Counselling Psychologist.

I keep up-to-date with recent developments, research and current therapies, such as: Brain and Neuropsychology, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), High Sensitivity (HSP), Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) and their influence on individuals' style, preferences, perspectives, mindsets and relationships.

With over 25 years experience working with individuals, couples and families, I believe I can assist my clients in identifying the aspects of their life in which they feel 'limited' and/or 'trapped' and together we develop new ways of learning to lead the life they have always wanted to lead.

Through my own experience, and that shared by my clients, it has shown me the importance of creating my own private practice to support those experiencing challenging situations.
