B.S., M.A., M. Psych Counselling, AAPI
Dianna is a somatically trained Counselling Psychologist with over 30 years experience in the field of mental health. She is the owner of Inscape Psychology and Warragul Natural Health.
Dianna believes embodied healing can only take place when we experience a felt sense of safety and so creates a therapeutic space that is grounded, compassionate and collaborative. She is deeply curious about how each client has learnt to survive in the world and seeks to understand not only the cognitive narrative but also the “story” of the nervous system. This body story is at the core of our dysregulated emotions and behaviours, it’s imprint a result of disrupted childhood attachment and personal and generational trauma.
Dianna has trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-oriented therapeutic approach for healing trauma developed by Peter Levine; Somatic Resilience & Regulation for the treatment of Developmental Trauma with Kathy Kain and Stephen Terrell; and the Enneagram personality typology. She specializes in working with adults who have experienced developmental Trauma, sexual violence, and/or who suffer with addictions. She also offers clinical supervision and transpersonal depth psychology.
Dianna is particularly passionate about helping women unravel the barriers that stand in the way of personal empowerment. As a result of living under thousands of years of patriarchy, women carry deeply held conditioning that can stifle verbal, sexual and creative expression. Through increased body awareness and the experience of archetypal energies, Dianna teaches women how to reclaim their inner freedom.
Unfortunately Dianna is currently not taking appointments for new clients.
