DBT is a synthesis of western, change-focused therapy (like traditional CBT), and eastern acceptance and mindfulness-based therapies. We are always working to balance acceptance and change skills in DBT, to create a more balanced life.

We offer a range of different treatment modes, including 1:1 sessions, group & online programs. We can recommend a treatment plan that works best for you, depending on your needs and wants.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychological therapy designed to help individuals manage a range of mental health challenges. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT is particularly effective for those struggling with intense emotions and impulsive behaviours.

Most of our clients have tried other forms of treatment before coming to DBT. Some have had felt some benefits, but not enough. We work differently & DBT has been shown to be more effective at developing emotion regulation skills than other forms of therapy.

Private health funds and levels of cover vary considerably, so you need to check with your fund specifically about what may be covered. You cannot claim Medicare rebates and private health fund rebates at the same time.

We welcome self and plan-managed NDIS participants. Our programs are suitable for those with psychosocial disability who have identified goals in building psychosocial skills.

Medicare rebates are available for our group programs, with a GP referral. Rebates for individual sessions are available with some of our clinicians, however we price our services so your out-of-pocket expenses are similar after rebates.

We accept clients aged 13-years & older. We may consider 12-year-olds under special circumstances.

We have different price points for our programs. Our 1:1 sessions vary depending on clinician, but range from $150- $260/ session. The DBT Group Only Program is from $125/ wk. Our Full DBT Program is price on application & varies depending on your clinician.

The group element of our DBT group program is not a 'sit in a circle & share' kind of group! It's an education-style group, so the focus is on learning new skills & concepts. You don't have to share anything you don't want to. And we never do ice-breakers!!!
