Our immediate goal is to help alleviate emotional pain and confusion and to build self confidence and coping skills. To do this we specialise in short, to long term, psychodynamic psychotherapy which consist of a series of conversations between you and your therapist.
These conversations are conducted with sensitivity, warmth and understanding in the confidential space of our consulting rooms or if preferred via Telehealth.
Our work is informed by a variety of contemporary psychological models of therapy. Most notable of these being the Conversational Model. This means we explore with you how past experiences and learned behaviour come together to influence your present day thinking and the effect that has on your future life goals and expectations.

Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) affects everyone differently. Many people with BPD have experienced severe trauma and may also experience PTSD, but not everyone. I am here to hear your story and help you to develop better relationships, improve responses to distress, and gain more peace in life. While I can help you to apply some useful DBT strategies, I find traditional DBT to be too rigid for most people with busy lives and difficulties with relationships. I generally use a form on psychodynamic psychotherapy called the Conversational Model, which aims to help people function today rather than looking at their past primarily.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with many people with BPD working with people with this diagnosis is a passion for me. I believe people living with BPD are often left untreated as there are very few professionals who have the capacity & desire to work within this speciality. That's why it is important to me that I provide this service.
18 Years Experience
Online in Canberra, ACT Australian Capital Territory
Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital city and home to the federal public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including burnout, moral injury, and careers lived in close proximity to political power. The city has the highest median income and education level of any Australian capital, with a population generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Canberra Hospital provides institutional mental health services alongside a well-established private practice community serving the inner south, Belconnen, and Tuggeranong. A recurring theme across many Canberra practices is the tension between personal values and the constraints of institutional work — a dynamic that cuts across much of the city's therapy culture.
