✨ Hi, it’s Sarah Swannell here 🙂

I just wanted to pop in and remind you about the DBT Program we run at Willow Oak Psychology. 💚

DBT is all about learning practical skills that help you handle life’s tough moments and build a life that feels more steady, meaningful, and connected. In our program, we focus on:
🌱 Mindfulness
🌱 Distress Tolerance
🌱 Emotion Regulation
🌱 Interpersonal Effectiveness

These skills can really help when emotions feel overwhelming, when relationships feel hard, or when life feels heavier than it should.

Most importantly—you don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to walk beside you every step of the way.

If you’d like to take that first step, give us a call on 0422 393 095. At Willow Oak, our purpose is simple: through evidence-based, deeply compassionate, and client-led therapy, we empower people to move from survival to thriving, from fragmentation to wholeness. 🌿✨

Freedom isn’t about having no struggles — it’s about finding peace within them.
In DBT, we learn that acceptance doesn’t mean giving up — it means letting go of the fight against reality so we can respond with clarity, strength, and self-compassion.

Feel overwhelmed or reactive? These skills help you pause, observe, and respond in ways that actually serve you.

Little things that say, “you’re safe here.” 🌿
A soft glow, calming scents, tissues within reach, and a mint if you need one.
Therapy is about the space and the support, and we’ve thought about both.
