About Dianna

Dianna Chase is an ACA counsellor in Australia with six years' experience working with adults on addictions, relationship strains, family conflict, grief and major life changes. She talks plainly about problems and helps people find practical steps forward when things feel overwhelming.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means she focuses on approaches supported by research to tackle the specific issues someone brings. Sessions centre on clear goals, manageable steps and regular check-ins rather than vague reassurance.

Dianna has particular experience supporting people dealing with loss and the practical fallout from separation and divorce. She also helps those facing caregiver stress, workplace pressures, isolation and trouble with communication. Her work aims to make difficult situations more understandable and more manageable.

In sessions she helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and then tries out concrete alternatives. For someone struggling with addiction this might mean mapping triggers and building coping routines. For relationship or family concerns the focus is on clearer communication and setting boundaries.

Her style is straightforward and focused on what can change now. People are invited to set the pace and try techniques between sessions. The starting point is a short questionnaire and a first booking to see how the approach fits.

Sheet 2

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Dianna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive-style approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new, more useful thoughts. These approaches help with anxiety about change, self-criticism and coping with losses.

Behavioural strategies complement thinking work by building practical routines. That can include creating new coping habits, planning steps to reduce addictive behaviours, or setting small communication experiments to try with others. These methods are useful when clear, repeatable actions are needed to change daily behaviour.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Dianna will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals and preferences. She starts with a short assessment and adjusts methods as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into work and family schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain regular appointments. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day.
