Classes
Discover a supportive space where you can grow, connect, and find your balance. Our skills classes are designed to help you build a more fulfilling and confident life worth living and worth sharing.
Skills Classes
Our classes and our groups run all year round, starting in a module format in 2026.
You are welcome to join our classes at the module you, and your practitioner, believe will be most helpful to begin with.
​
Individual support may vary depending on your needs and what supports you already have in place. It is recommended to see an individual therapist in addition to the skills classes to deep dive into personal ways to use the skills.
​
Please note it's not mandatory to see an individual clinician at The Centre if you already see a trained external psychologist.
The Centre will provide skills coaching sessions if your individual therapist is not trained in standard DBT or Radically Open DBT.

Teen Programs
A 10-Week Course on Managing Emotions
Adolescence is one of the most transformative, and challenging, periods of life. Between rapid social development, hormonal shifts, and academic pressure, the teenage brain undergoes what Dr. Dan Siegel calls a "Brainstorm." While this brings incredible creativity and growth, it can also feel overwhelming.
We've developed a specialized 10-week curriculum designed specifically for the teen years teaching skills to manage emotions throughout their lives.
​
What’s Inside the 10-Week Course?
​
We move beyond "just talking" to provide practical, evidence-based tools:
-
The Nervous System: Learning about how your nervous system gets activated
-
The Biology of Mood: Exploring how sleep, hormones, and blood sugar impact emotions.
-
Distress Tolerance skills
-
Understanding primary emotions and how to manage emotional moods.
​​
Program Details:
-
Who: Teens (Ages 13 - 18)
-
When: 10 Weekly Sessions starting April 23rd at 4pm
-
Where: The Centre, 155 Marion Street, Leichhardt, Sydney NSW

Empower your teen to navigate the brainstorm with resilience and clarity.
