About Divina
Divina Daryanani is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, motivation, and life changes. Sessions are described as respectful and sensitive, with an emphasis on creating a plan that fits each person's immediate needs.
Divina helps people talk through practical problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, grief, anger, addiction concerns, and workplace or career strain. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her practice includes attention to family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and concerns around attachment and abandonment.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to the person in front of her. Conversations focus on clear steps and manageable goals rather than abstract theories. She aims to make sessions direct and useful, helping people build small changes they can use between meetings.
Divina works with LGBT clients and people navigating separation or divorce, commitment and communication issues, and intimacy difficulties. She can assist with body image and eating-related concerns, and supports people experiencing emptiness or dependent personality patterns. Her style emphasises practical strategies alongside listening.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the platform's online options.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Divina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and techniques. For example, cognitive-based strategies help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practise new ways of responding to stress or anxiety in day-to-day life. These techniques suit issues like worry, low mood, and work-related stress.Another common approach she applies is behavioural-oriented work that emphasises small, practical actions. This can include routine changes for sleep and eating, graded tasks to rebuild motivation, and exposure-style steps to reduce avoidance around intimacy or social situations. These methods aim for gradual progress that can be tracked between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaboration helps identify which methods feel most useful and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people try therapy while they consider practical next steps for career, relationship or health changes.
