Dianne is an experienced psychologist. For more than 20 years she has provided warm, compassionate therapy to help teens 14+ and adults of all ages manage obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, grief, stress, anxiety and depression. She has experience working with families, supporting parents in their early years, assisting with adjustment difficulties, postnatal depression (PND) and postnatal anxiety, and child behaviour problems.
Dianne has worked extensively across the disability sector in government and non government organisations. Her professional career has also included supporting adults to manage their alcohol and drug misuse and move towards adopting healthy coping skills to cope with life challenges. She has also supported many adolescents and young adults who have experienced childhood trauma who are navigating independence and new relationships.
Dianne offers a process-based, insight-oriented approach to assist clients in understanding the source of their mental health challenges, so they can adopt behavioural change to enhance wellbeing. She utilises Psychodynamic Therapy and Schema Therapy to explore family and relationship patterns and teaches clients strategies associated with Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
In her spare time, Dianne enjoys dance classes, walking along the river or beach, reading and spending time with her family and friends.
