The psychotherapy offered at South Pacific Private incorporates a variety of treatment models that are evidence based, including Pia Mellody’s Relationship Developmental Model, The Minnesota Model, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
Each client is assessed, and a treatment program is tailored to their individual needs. Their program may include a combination of Inpatient, Day and Evening courses. During the course of treatment, clients are regularly reviewed by a multidisciplinary team of clinical professionals, including psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, medical doctors and psychologists.
All treatment is conducted within an intensive group therapy program. Both experiential and task-based, group therapy offers clients the opportunity to learn and heal from one another in a safe emotional environment.
A unique component of South Pacific Private’s treatment is our focus on the Family System, culminating in Family Program. Clients are encouraged to invite members of their family to attend this week-long program that will allow clients and family members to learn healthy communication and relating dynamics in our supported environment.
Family Program is run by an experienced Family Therapist, who will guide all participants through structured exercises to develop listening, communication and conflict resolution skills.
The Therapeutic community is a vital part of the South Pacific Private culture, and is managed by our experienced therapists. This environment allows communication and relational interactions between members (within and outside of their treatment), offering support and learning opportunities.
For those clients presenting with addiction issues, we support their attendance and participation in 12 Step programs relevant to their specific addiction. South Pacific Private hosts 12 Step meetings in house, as well as arranging for groups of clients to attend local meetings.
