About Dipti
Dipti Vira is a psychotherapist and counsellor with over 10 years of experience across clinical, hospital and private practice settings in India, Singapore and Australia. She is PACFA-registered and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. Dipti also supports clients through life changes and money and financial issues.
Her background includes work in hospitals and private clinics, which has shaped a practical style of care. She adapts what she does to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on clear goals, everyday coping skills and small steps that fit into busy lives.
Dipti uses a mix of tried-and-tested techniques including cognitive approaches, clinical hypnosis and person-centred methods. She explains tools in plain language and helps people practise them between sessions. The approach is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs.
People come to her for common concerns such as panic, persistent low mood, relationship strain and problems with self-worth. She also works with issues like attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and obsessive behaviours. Money and financial issues are one of the practical areas she helps clients talk through.
Dipti speaks English, Gujarati and Hindi, and she aims to make sessions culturally sensitive and respectful. If you are thinking about therapy, she encourages a short initial conversation to see if the way she works feels like a good fit.
How Dipti’s approaches work online
Dipti uses cognitive approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These methods are useful for anxiety, mood problems and stress by teaching practical ways to reframe thoughts and test them in daily life.She also uses clinical hypnosis as a therapeutic tool for relaxation, managing persistent anxiety and building focus for behaviour change. Clinical hypnosis is guided and collaborative, often paired with other techniques to reinforce new ways of coping.
Person-centred work is another strand she draws on, which emphasises listening, understanding and tailoring the pace to each person. This approach helps people feel heard and build on their own strengths while deciding on concrete goals.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will talk through options and adapt methods to your needs, goals and preferences so the plan fits you rather than the other way around.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments.
