Our Approach

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on helping individuals develop skills to manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and reduce problematic behaviours. This approach can be particularly helpful for autistic clients who may struggle with emotional regulation and interpersonal communication.

Clients learn skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

DBT offers a structured and skills-based approach to therapy that can be tailored to suit the unique needs and strengths of each client. By developing emotional regulation and interpersonal communication skills, clients can work towards greater emotional wellbeing and social success.

This approach also emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and validation. The therapist provides non-judgmental validation of the client's experiences, which can promote a sense of acceptance and emotional safety.

Deep Seas acknowledges the traditional owners of this land we live and work on; the Kaurna people, a land whose sovereignty remains un-ceded.

 

We acknowledge and value their diversity, histories, knowledge, Dreaming and continuing connections to land and country. 


We pay our respects to all First Nations people and their cultures; and to the Elders of past, present and emerging.

 

This land was and will always BE Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.

We pay our respects to those amongst the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex communities who have worked to support the improved health and well-being of their peers, children, families, friends, and country.

 

We honour the Elders in the diverse communities of which we are a part and we celebrate the extraordinary diversity of people’s bodies, genders, sexualities, and relationships that they represent.

​

We recognize the uniqueness and wholeness of each person and support movements that empower and center communities and identities that are marginalized.
