Personality Disorder
Intensive, one-to-one treatment for Borderline, Narcissistic and complex personality disorders.
Personality disorders are not short-term crises or trauma reactions. They are enduring patterns of thinking, emotional dysregulation and relationship behaviour that create ongoing instability.
They often sit beneath presenting issues such as addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, repeated relationship breakdown or compulsive lying — especially when therapy has provided insight but patterns continue.
At Noosa Confidential, our 24/7 clinical supervision, six days per week of individual therapy and intensive case management enable accurate personality disorder diagnosis and targeted treatment. Through extended observation and comprehensive psychometric assessment, we address the core behavioural patterns driving long-term instability.
Personality disorders are long-standing patterns of thinking, emotional regulation and relationship behaviour.
They are not character flaws, they are deeply embedded adaptive strategies that formed in response to circumstances. Many clients are highly intelligent, articulate, and familiar with therapeutic language — yet remain stuck in repeating patterns.
Effective personality disorder treatment requires more than trauma therapy or insight. Sustainable change depends on structured behavioural work, accountability, nervous system regulation, and clear relational boundaries.
How our treatment differs
Intensive One-to-One Model
Clients with personality disorders do not benefit from traditional group-heavy environments. Group settings can reinforce manipulation, triangulation, or identity-based positioning.
Our model prioritises:
• Individual therapy six days per week
• 24/7 clinical supervision
• High-level case management
• Structured behavioural accountability
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) & Targeted Protocols
For BPD and related presentations, we integrate structured DBT protocols alongside neuroscience-informed regulation strategies and schema-based work.
This is skills-based, behavioural, and measurable.
Family Integration & Psychoeducation
Personality disorders affect entire relational systems. We provide psychoeducation, communication frameworks and boundary training for partners and family members to support sustainable change.
Accountability Over Identity
Lasting improvement requires moving beyond trauma narratives toward behavioural responsibility. We address manipulation patterns, chronic dishonesty, externalisation of blame and identity-based reinforcement through structured, transparent treatment.

FAQs
Common Questions about Personality Disorer
What is a personality disorder?
A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behaviour that is rigid, pervasive and leads to significant impairment in relationships and functioning.
Why are Personality Disorders often misdiagnosed?
Because clients commonly present with addiction, anxiety, eating disorders or crisis. Personality patterns become clearer with prolonged observation and structured assessment.
Can trauma cause Personality Disorders?
Many personality disorders emerge from early unmet needs, chaotic environments or relational instability. However, in adults, focusing solely on trauma without behavioural accountability limits progress.
Can Personality Disorders be treated?
Change is possible when there is genuine investment in behavioural responsibility, skill acquisition, and relational restructuring. Insight alone is insufficient.
Can Family Support Help Someone with a Personality Disorder?
Yes.
Family support is often essential in personality disorder treatment. With proper psychoeducation and clear boundaries, families can stop reinforcing unhealthy patterns and instead support lasting behavioural change.
