The Dolphin Centre

Welcome to The Dolphin Centre, located at 83A Sturt Road, Dover Gardens, Australia. We are an establishment dedicated to providing psychotherapy services for individuals in all states of mental health.

At The Dolphin Centre, we understand that when faced with adversity, humans often experience deep sadness, anger, anxiety, and other challenging emotions. Our team of psychotherapists offers a safe space for individuals to explore these states and learn about themselves, as well as effective ways to manage their emotions and behaviors.

As mental health counselors, our goal is to support our clients in achieving self-acceptance, emotional and behavioral competence, and overall harmony in their relationships and various environments.

If you are experiencing stress that is interfering with your day-to-day functioning, which may be labeled as anxiety or depression, we are here to help. We also specialize in helping individuals heal from traumas, providing assistance with symptoms such as hypervigilance, difficulty trusting, racing heart and thoughts, exhaustion, lack of motivation, and more. It's important to note that trauma is subjective, and we respect each individual's unique experience.

Additionally, if you are going through a period of transition and could use some support in making important decisions, we are here to guide you.

One of our specialized therapies is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which has proven to be effective in overcoming grief, loss, and trauma. We establish tools to increase resilience and then offer healing through compassion-focused evidence-based explorations. Rest assured, your therapist will never push you to explore elements that you are not ready for.

We are a Medicare Rebates Available and NDIS friendly business, committed to making our services accessible to all. We have witnessed the devastating effects of addiction, family violence, intergenerational pain, and illness in the community, which inspired us to become psychotherapists. We believe that children and their families deserve to live in a safe and compassionate community, and we are here to support them in achieving that.

Our approach is informed by a mix of trauma-responsive evidence-based approaches, and we prioritize building trusting relationships to generate safety and healing. We value each person's unique experience and take the lead in facilitating their desired goals. With a warm and playful approach, we incorporate social justice, neurobiology, knowledge of trauma impacts, and environmental considerations into our practice.

In addition to various therapy modalities such as EMDR, psychotherapy, narrative practice, and family therapy, we also incorporate body movement and relaxation techniques rooted in the science of our nervous systems. We believe in addressing the somatic impacts of distress and mental health concerns.

Visit The Dolphin Centre today and let us support you in moving through your distress. Together, we can help you live the life you deserve.
