Group Therapy Services

10-Week Trauma-Informed Group DBT Therapy Service

Our 10 week-Trauma Informed Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) group programs are provided face to face (Central Coast of NSW, Australia) and online to anyone no matter your location.

Our DBT group therapy programs provide a supportive and structured space to learn practical, evidence-based DBT skills for managing emotions, thoughts, behaviours, relationships, and distress.

Grounded in the Marsha Linehan DBT model, our trauma informed programs focus on four core modules:

• Mindfulness – learning how to pay attention on purpose to the present moment and stop getting stuck in the past or the future.

• Distress Tolerance – managing high levels of distress, crisis and reducing impulsivity

• Emotional Regulation – understanding and regulating emotions

• Interpersonal Effectiveness – building healthy, assertive and effective relationships

These skills-based groups are ideal for people who experience emotional dysregulation, chronic distress, acute and chronic suicidality, self harm and struggle with interpersonal relationships. Traditionally developed for people with Borderline Personality Disorder DBT is now an evidenced based treatment for a wide range of mental health diagnosis including those with cluster B personality traits, depression, anxiety, eating disorders etc

We offer both face-to-face groups on the Central Coast of NSW Australia and online programs for accessibility and convenience. Each group is facilitated by experienced, trauma-informed clinicians accredited in DBT, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for growth and recovery.
