  • Our approach

    The Centre uses a transdiagnostic approach grounded in two main therapy models: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open-Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (RO-DBT). DBT aims to help clients "build a life worth living," while RO-DBT focuses on "building a life worth sharing"—and the Centre values both goals equally. All clinicians are trained in trauma-informed and evidence-based treatments, and will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your child's needs. The Centre emphasises connection and safety within the therapeutic relationship, operating from a philosophy that kindness and acceptance are central to healing. Sessions are structured within these evidence-based frameworks to help clients develop skills and move toward their valued goals.
