Dianne is an occupational therapist with over 20 years experience in the mental health field.  She has worked both in the private and public sector, facilitating group therapy programs, individual assessments and treatment plans, and also works with families.  She is currently working at Northpark Private Hospital and teaches at Australian Catholic University in the School of Occupational Therapy.  Dianne is now available for private consultations at Whittlesea Specialist Centre on Mondays, ph 9716 3322. Dianne works from an occupational frame of reference, and takes a functional approach when considering the needs of her clients.  She uses the models of OT to inform her practice, which have a practical, action-orientated focus. This approach works beautifully alongside the psychotherapeutic counseling.  Her experience as an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy counselor brings together again the idea that talking therapy is complimented with functional activity, which can be graded and integrated into all aspects of the person’s life.  Her approach is holistic and takes into consideration how the person interacts with their environment, occupation, support systems and themselves. Areas of specialty include: Mother and baby (post natal depression, sleep and settling, attachment issues, adjusting to role of parenting, developing routines, establishing support networks) Anxiety and depression (maintaining function at home, socially and at work, practical skills to reduce symptoms) Pain management (energy conservation, joint protection, developing a different, more functional relationship with pain) Dianne is committed to helping people with a mental illness live an active, connected and meaningful life.
