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.
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 lived experience of BPD and can provide practical therapy to individuals. I like to provide therapy with a person-centred approach and perspective.
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.
