The Person Behind the Space
Diana Mote
Quiet by nature, curious by heart
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have always been drawn to the simple layers of life. From early morning walks to sharing a good meal, singing karaoke until my voice gives out, or simply doodling the small details of an ordinary day, I have found that these moments often reveal something important about how we feel, connect, and experience the world.
Perhaps it is this curiosity that has always guided me. Through my own experiences and through supporting others, I became increasingly interested in the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and bodies. I began noticing how we process the experiences we carry, how stress can quietly build over time, and how easy it can be to lose connection with ourselves when life becomes busy or overwhelming.
This led me to explore practices that helped me return to myself: creativity, movement, rest, sleep, and nutrition. These became the steady pillars in my own life, helping me reconnect with my thoughts, feelings, and personal needs. More importantly, they helped me rebuild trust in my own inner voice and the decisions I make.
As I continued exploring this connection between self-awareness and wellbeing, I found myself drawn towards holistic counselling and reflective practices. Alongside my full-time teaching job, I studied for two years with the Australian School of Holistic Counselling, and qualified as a Practitioner of Holistic Counselling, Certified Holistic Coach, and Meditation & Mindfulness Practitioner. Through this training, I learned how to hold space with care, structure, and responsibility, while supporting people in exploring their own experiences.
Alongside this, I have explored Reiki, sound healing, and yoga through personal study, drawn by my own curiosity about how the mind and body influence one another. These practices are not offered as clinical treatment, but they inform the grounded and embodied way I approach self-awareness and reconnection.
My approach is collaborative. I do not see myself as someone who provides answers or tells people who they should become. Instead, I believe each person has valuable experiences, perspectives, and strengths to draw from. My role is to listen with care, ask questions that open things up, and create space for you to slow down, understand what you are experiencing, and gain a clearer sense of yourself and what you need.
Together, we can notice what feels important, understand what you need, and consider the steps that feel right for you.
I believe understanding ourselves is an ongoing process. It is not about changing who we are, but about becoming more aware of what we value, what we need, and how we want to live.
