Diana is passionate about helping people and is an empathetic, dedicated clinician providing high-quality psychological support for adults and families. Over the last decade, she has had extensive experience consulting, educating and coaching her clients. Her purpose and passion are to work with individuals and groups facilitating insight and courage to address and master their life challenges. Her work follows a holistic approach, and she uses evidence-based therapeutic methods, including humanistic/client-centred therapy, family systems therapy, psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy (IPT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectic behavioural therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness practices. She works with patients who wish to improve their quality of life through personal development and finding ways of getting relief from emotional distress. She helps individuals enhance their understanding of their situation to find positive ways of managing and solving their problems. The main goal of psychotherapy is to facilitate patients’ understanding of their “inner landscape” leading to positive mental and behavioural changes and opening the road to their personal growth and fulfilment.

Diana carefully assesses her clients’ mental health and areas of concern, and in a collaborative effort helps patients identify treatment goals as well as a treatment plan. She has considerable experience working with Dubai’s multi-cultural population and takes all aspects of her clients’ life into account to meet their unique therapeutic needs.
