About Diana
PACFA counsellor Diana Ingram has 22 years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and depression, and works with relationship and family concerns. She uses approaches listed in her biography such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Diana works with individuals, couples, children and adolescents. She has experience supporting people from First Nations communities, migrants, people who are neurodiverse, and those who are gender diverse. She describes clients as experts in their own stories and aims to build on existing strengths.
In sessions she pays attention to what matters most to each person. She helps people name what is causing distress, notice unhelpful patterns, and try different ways of responding. Practical strategies from ACT and CBT are used alongside work on attachment and relationships when relevant.
Her approach to parenting and family issues focuses on communication and problem solving. For trauma and domestic or family violence she uses careful, paced conversations and supports people to find manageable next steps. For depression and anxiety she combines cognitive work with values-based actions.
Diana frames the work as collaborative. She helps people set goals and reviews progress as they go. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a better life would look like, then builds a plan that fits each person’s situation.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying what matters to a person and building small, practical actions to move toward those values. It helps with anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It is useful when patterns of thought and behaviour are contributing to distress.Diana treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will work with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That discussion can include trying an approach for a few sessions and checking whether it feels helpful, then adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and permit shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They can also allow sessions without using video if someone prefers that option. The focus is on finding a practical way to work that fits everyday life.
