Diandra, a warm, compassionate, and grounded therapist, draws from her professional expertise and rich personal experience. As a mother of twins in a cross-cultural marriage, she intimately understands the challenges of life transitions and the struggle to find a sense of belonging across different worlds. Her personal journey of change, loss, and renewal has not only deepened her empathy but also reinforced her dedication to helping others find balance, meaning, and resilience.

As an integrative therapist, Diandra draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). She tailors her approach to each client, ensuring therapy feels supportive, collaborative, and empowering. This commitment to evidence-based practice instils confidence in her clients, assuring them of the effectiveness of her methods.

Alongside her counselling work, Diandra is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Pilates Instructor, bringing a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of emotional and physical well-being. Her interest in the mind-body connection led her to Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), an evidence-based approach that focuses on the role of the nervous system in pain and stress. Understanding how emotional regulation, stress, and trauma affect both body and mind, influencing everything from anxiety to gut health, inspires her to help others find relief and reconnection with their bodies.

Diandra’s dedication to others extends beyond the therapy room. She generously volunteers with AWARE and Youthline, providing crucial support to women in crisis and young people navigating challenging circumstances. Her active involvement in community support work serves as an inspiration to her colleagues, fostering a sense of shared commitment and purpose.

Fiona Maher O'Sullivan

Fiona at New Leaf Counselling has helped me understand myself better than I ever thought was possible. After many failed attempts at various types of therapy over the years, I never thought I’d find someone so insightful and skilful in helping guide me through my mental health challenges. I truly see myself becoming a stronger and more resilient person with every session that goes by. Thank you Fiona! Your support is invaluable.

Santiago Brand

It was a huge difference in experience at New Leaf Counselling & Integrative Health! Fiona, Tyrel and their team were comprehensive, listening and professional making the entire session stress-free. Our specialised session with Santiago was amazing. Through his brain mapping assessment, we can understand how our daughter’s mind better. The results were both fascinating and affirming! Initially, we were perplexed as to how this session will be conducted. With the use of specialised apparatus, we were able to understand her mind on a deeper level. Every inch of the brain activities was explained clearly and we left the place with much materials for months of learning and exercising! Santiago’s professional counselling was so insightful and skilful. It provided a clear path by empowering us with good clean knowledge and we can see ourselves spending time to unlock areas of potential that we did not have to spend time guessing in the dark.Thank you, Fiona and Tyrel for your attention and support! We totally recommend New Leaf as a place to kickstart your journey to nurture your health, mind and soul.

Jessica Woodruff

Jessica is a stellar nutritionist. I initially consulted her as I had blood sugar related issues, and after following her recommendations for 3 months, I saw a quantitative improvement in the latest health screening. Overall her advice worked out great for me.But what sets her apart from other professionals is her depth of knowledge, willingness to share and capacity to teach. Through her consultation, I didn’t just get tailored advice, but I learnt many nutrition principles. The implication is that I’m able to derive my own interventions and adjust them according to circumstance (e.g. when travelling) to live a healthier lifestyle. To me that’s the value of seeing a nutritionist, and Jessica has certain delivered. Highly recommended!
