About Divina

Divina Daryanani is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, motivation problems, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce conflict, manage irritation, and rebuild trust in close relationships.

Divina aims to talk through what is happening in everyday moments that trigger anger or frustration. She uses straightforward conversation and exercises to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and practise different ways of communicating. The emphasis is on small, repeatable changes rather than sweeping promises.

She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and life changes such as separation or career shifts. Work often looks at attachment, abandonment worries, and how early family dynamics shape current reactions. Clients who face chronic illness, caregiver stress, or neurodiversity concerns such as autism or Asperger syndrome can bring those issues into sessions.

Divina explains ideas in clear language and builds simple plans people can test between meetings. Conversations include role-play, behavioural experiments, and checklists to track progress. The focus is on what helps with day-to-day functioning, managing bursts of anger, and repairing strained connections.

Sessions are conducted in English in Australia. Prospective clients are invited to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the approach feels.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are behavioural experiments and communication skills training. Behavioural experiments involve trying small changes between sessions to test what calms irritation or stops escalation. Communication skills training teaches simple phrases and timing strategies to lower conflict and improve connection.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, based on current problems, goals, and what feels workable day to day. Sessions include checking progress and adjusting strategies as needed so techniques suit real-life situations.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when energy is low. Speak with the service matching process to learn which session formats are available and to arrange a first meeting that fits your routine.
