Divina Daryanani, ACA

Divina Daryanani is an ACA counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She helps clients build confidence and motivation and work through issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

With three years of professional experience in Australia, Divina tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. She listens for what matters most and helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions aim to break problems into clear parts so change feels manageable.

Divina works with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and caregiver stress. Her approach is flexible to suit each person's situation.

Clients can expect straightforward dialogue and practical coping strategies to use in daily life. Divina emphasises collaboration and helps people weigh options and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. She sees taking the first step as a sign of strength and stays alongside clients as they move forward.

Her practice is focused on helping people feel more capable and less stuck. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed formula, and Divina adjusts pace and focus as goals evolve.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Divina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change patterns and learn practical skills. One common approach she uses helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then tests small changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.

Another key strand of her work concentrates on relationships and attachment. It looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and teaches new ways of communicating and relating. This can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and improving connection with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Divina works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adapt the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need to manage work and family schedules more flexibly.
