Registered Psychotherapist, Amanda Guilfoyle. M.Gestalt T. B.SocSci (Couns)
I love working with people who may have been diagnosed with BPD or are exhibiting borderline traits! I have trained in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and believe it is through learning and enhancing emotional regulation techniques as well as other therapeutic skills , that distressing emotional responses may be minimised. I see you as the unique person you are.
As one of the original founders of the Australian Borderline Personality Disorder Foundation I work as a sole practitioner to spread the message of the Australian BPD Foundation. That message is simple. BPD is manageable and it is curable, with the correct therapy.
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.
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.
