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.
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.
BPD is a type of mental health disorder that typically involves unstable relationships, intense emotions, and impulsive behaviour. One of the most effective treatment methods for this condition is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. This type of therapy helps individuals develop new coping strategies.
Various forms of therapy can be used to treat BPD, such as cognitive therapy, schema-focused therapy, and mentalisation-based treatment. In addition, medication can be utilised with the therapy to manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression. If you are interested in finding a treatment method that can support your recovery, get in touch.
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
