About Divina

Divina Daryanani is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with individuals dealing with relationships, intimacy concerns, low self esteem and motivation. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, addiction and eating or sleep difficulties.

Divina keeps sessions respectful and down to earth. She listens first and tailors conversation and goals to each person's situation. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at small, doable steps rather than big promises.

With three years of professional experience in Australia, Divina has worked with a broad range of issues. She pays attention to how family background, attachment and communication patterns affect current problems. Body image, caregiver stress and neurodiversity are also areas she will discuss when relevant.

People who prefer clear, collaborative planning may find her approach helpful. Divina focuses on building confidence, improving coping skills and strengthening relationships. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and review progress as therapy continues.

If someone is unsure what to expect, Divina will outline a plan in early sessions and adjust it as needed. Her aim is to support people through practical change, offering compassion and sensible strategies for everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Divina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking and building more helpful behaviours; it helps with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems by teaching skills to manage thoughts and actions. Another approach concentrates on understanding relationship patterns and attachment, helping people improve communication and intimacy by recognising recurring dynamics and trying new interaction habits.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Divina will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and day-to-day needs, and she will adjust methods as progress is reviewed. Clients and the counsellor agree on priorities and steps together rather than following a fixed script.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care from a familiar routine while working on concerns like eating, sleeping, stress and relationships.
