About Dipti
Dipti Vira is a PACFA counsellor with ten years of practice across clinical, hospital and personal settings in India, Singapore and Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She aims to make therapy practical and easy to follow for busy lives.
She uses clear, straightforward conversations to help people understand what is causing distress. Sessions focus on immediate coping skills and small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Dipti tailors her approach to each person’s culture and life story. Many clients bring concerns about self-esteem, life transitions and feeling isolated. Dipti also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, money worries and midlife changes.
She addresses a wide range of mood and behaviour difficulties, including phobias, obsessions and compulsions. Her style is warm and collaborative. She prefers short-term, goal-focused work when that suits, and deeper exploration when people want it.
Dipti helps people set realistic steps and practise new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions. Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati and Hindi. She works with individuals rather than running family or couple sessions, and she combines techniques to match each person’s needs.
Getting started simply involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging a time to begin.
How therapy approaches translate online
Evidence-based cognitive approaches help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These techniques teach practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage mood and tackle phobias step by step. Clinical hypnosis can be used to support relaxation and build new ways of responding to stress or pain through guided mental practice. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and reflecting a person’s experience to help them clarify values and goals.Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a person’s goals, culture and day-to-day life. Goals and methods are reviewed together as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, between-session support and flexible communication around work or caring commitments. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside a busy life.
