Psychologist, BA (Hons), DPsych (Forensic), MPsych (Clinical)
Illume Psychology is a boutique psychology practice that offers a nurturing space to meaningfully and collaboratively work through your inner troubles. A diagnosis of personality disorder can be confusing and necessitates the thoughtful and skilled attention of a dedicated therapist to provide support, help make sense of past experiences and bring to awareness problematic patterns of thought and behaviour to empower you to create sustained change in your life.
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.
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.
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.
