Dipti Vira

Dipti Vira is a psychotherapist and counsellor with more than 10 years of clinical experience. She has worked in hospital and private settings across India, Singapore and now Australia. Dipti is PACFA-registered and offers one-on-one sessions that aim to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. She blends cognitive techniques, clinical hypnosis and person-centred ideas to suit each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what the person brings, their cultural background and what they want to change.

Dipti commonly supports people dealing with mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She also works with attachment issues, body image concerns, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, and challenges linked to chronic illness and caregiving stress.

Her style is collaborative and calm. She helps people build emotional resilience and find clearer ways to cope with life transitions and difficult feelings. Dipti aims to make the work straightforward and useful rather than overly medical or technical.

Clients can expect a respectful, culturally aware space where practical skills and reflective conversation are combined. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Dipti offers steady support while people try out changes and learn new coping strategies.

Approaches that guide online work and choice of method

Dipti uses several evidence-based techniques in her clinical work. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical ways to shift those thoughts and behaviours; they are often useful for anxiety, low mood and obsessive worries. Clinical hypnosis involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access calmer states and work with habits, stress responses and confidence. Person-centred therapy prioritises the individual’s experience, offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and decide what changes matter most.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through what has helped before, what the person hopes to achieve and any cultural needs or preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Goals and methods can be adjusted as the work progresses so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, helping people keep continuity when travel or work makes in-person visits harder. It also allows for shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling, which can suit people juggling caregiving, chronic illness or busy routines. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can help decide whether a particular format will meet practical needs and therapeutic goals.
