My Approach
Rise and Shine Counselling & Play Therapy Wodonga provides a suite of therapeutic supports such as EAP counselling, NDIS counselling as a sole trader, mobile counselling, counselling for adults, counselling for teenagers, counselling for children, play therapy, phone counselling, and online counselling via zoom or skype. The choice is yours!
It's important to me that clients experience a relationship that's engaging, compassionate, warm, and responsive. My intention in every session is to provide clients with a safe, confidential space where we can explore what clients want and need. I will listen carefully and compassionately without making assumptions or passing judgement so that I can work alongside clients to create change and heighten insight.
Clients tell me they appreciate my informal approach. I want clients to leave counselling feeling enabled and empowered to believe in themselves and achieve their goals. Clients will get a better understanding of themselves and their situation, unpick complex issues, gain coping skills and practical strategies to manage their life better. I assist clients to come up with their own solutions, so they can carry on without me!
​
Presently I am the only qualified Children's Play Therapist in Wodonga
I thoroughly enjoy and excel in working with young children from as little as 3 years of age.
​
I'm also certified in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Solutions Focused Therapy. All highly effective, evidence based talk therapies available here.
For teenagers and adults who prefer less Q&A style talk therapies, there is the option of being supported through the powerful yet gentle approaches of Mindfulness, Sandplay Therapy, Expressive Therapies, Guided Drawing, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).

About Me
My name is Diana Rebuffo bhs msw. I have a Masters in Social Work, Bachelor in Human Services, Advanced Certificate in Clinical Play Therapy and credentialed in other psychotherapy approaches.
​
I began counselling in 2012 at CentaCare Wodonga.
I'm now working at a different agency holding two roles. One as Child and Adolescent Family Violence and Homelessness Counsellor. The other role is funded by the Australian Childhood Foundation providing group work and specialist Adult Family Violence Counselling.
​
Statistics are showing a spike in family violence and child abuse during Covid19 social distancing and isolation.
I specialise in this field. Please do not hesitate to call or email as I'm 100% dedicated to assisting in anyway you need. Absolute discretion and confidentiality guaranteed.
​
As an essential service I am able to conduct face to face counselling providing all health guidelines are followed. I will do my utmost to support clients without increasing our risk to infection. Please phone to chat how this would work.
