Dianna is an experienced Counselling Psychologist, Couples Counsellor and Fertility Counsellor in Melbourne. She is passionate about relationship counselling and creating strong connections with her clients through transparency, respect and mutual reciprocal communication. Her clients feel comfortable knowing they can open up in a safe and confidential environment about the concerns or issues significantly impacting their relationships.
The mutual respect and reciprocal nature of her approach allows her to use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help her clients get to a healthier and happier place. She has helped hundreds of people in this way for over 20 years.
The foundation of her approach is her passion for helping couples recognise what they are bringing to the relationship and the impact it has on themselves, as well as their partner. This has seen her help many couples improve their communication, resolve long-standing disagreements, address their fertility needs, develop trust and respect, overcome struggles with sex and intimacy, move through life transitions, navigate family influences or to reconnect.

As a registered and qualified Counselling Physiologist she works with individuals and families in successfully helping them to deal with a variety of needs, such as depression, anxiety, loss and grief, anger, narcissism, emotions, fears, indecision, sensitivity and troubles related to work and career.
Finally, she has led group programs that have helped people to improve their self-awareness, sensitivity, understanding of how they perceive the world, IVF and Fertility. She prefers to collaborate with her clients and engage them in open and honest discussions around their main areas of focus, the duration of the work, how progress will be reviewed, and what success looks like. Her clients are active participants in the therapeutic process and ultimately, in their own healing beyond the counselling room. She is able to offer face-to face, SKYPE-based and telephone-based meetings.
