About Dipti
Dipti Vira is a PACFA counsellor with more than ten years' experience in clinical, hospital and personal settings across India, Singapore and Australia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Dipti supports clients who are wrestling with low self-esteem or navigating major life changes.
Her experience includes working with people facing mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, phobias and the practical strains of chronic illness and caregiving.
Background and approach
She also addresses attachment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, and issues around money and life purpose. Dipti draws on a range of approaches to match what each person needs. In sessions she keeps language clear and direct.
Conversations aim to identify the patterns that maintain distress and to build small, practical steps for change. People can expect a calm, respectful tone and a focus on skills they can use between sessions. Dipti tailors her work to cultural background and personal values.
She offers help in English, Gujarati and Hindi. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as needed. Her training and years of practice shape how she supports someone through anxiety, coping with loss, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
She encourages emotional resilience and helps people move toward clearer choices and steadier daily routines.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Dipti uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. Cognitive approaches help people spot and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood; sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that can be reviewed in video or messaging formats. Person-centred methods prioritise what matters to the client and create space for reflection and emotional processing in a gentle, collaborative way. Clinical hypnosis can support relaxation and change in habitual responses, often used alongside other strategies for persistent anxiety or stress.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dipti will discuss different options, listen to your goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. This means techniques can be blended and reshaped over time to suit how you respond and what feels most helpful.
Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or limited travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in, while live chat or text-based messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions or when a written reflection helps. These options make it easier to sustain regular contact and to try practical strategies in day-to-day life.
