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.
Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Both therapists view personality disorders as a disruption in normal development, attachment and sense of self. They utilize the Brain-Mind-Relationship model that enables the exploration of reactive behaviours that interferes with effective functioning and development of safe and secure relationships. Therapy aims to develop a sense of self-awareness, distress tolerance and better choices at the most basic level of conscious awareness
I believe that many of our "disorders" have their foundations in trauma. Together we can work in a safe way with the trauma which supports growth and transformation.
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.
Kate specialises in treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), having worked for 11 years at Spectrum, the Victorian Unit for Personality Disorders. However, there is a cap on how many clients with this disorder she can have at one time, so if she cannot take you it is due to the desire to pace her energy over all her clients.
