About Me

Dr Diane Harner
PhD Neuroscience
Master of Counselling

Struggle in life can take many forms. I specialise in helping people who:

  • have a neurological condition, mental illness or mental health problem

  • have experienced an injury that has resulted in neurological dysfunction.​

With a background in neuroscience, I bring a unique understanding of the nervous system to the counselling process. For those experiencing neurological dysfunction as a result of a neurological disorder or injury, I believe that knowledge is empowering. Understanding what is happening in your body and mind gives you more control over the choices you make and the way you move forward.

 

Having had personal experience in supporting a family member through a neurological condition, I understand the importance of, not only, treating the physical condition but supporting individuals and their families through the emotional aspects of a diagnosis or injury. Diagnosis support is an area that I feel very connected to and believe should be an essential component of any medical treatment plan. I provide answers and practical strategies in a safe space. Come and have a chat.

In my personal life, I enjoy cryptic crossword puzzles, reading, singing, playing the piano, bushwalking and netball. I am married and have two children.
