how we help

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build a life that feels more balanced and meaningful.

Originally developed for individuals who experience difficulty with emotional regulation, self-harm, or impulsive behaviours, DBT has since been adapted to support a wide range of challenges—including anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and difficulties with anger or interpersonal conflict.

DBT combines cognitive behavioural strategies with mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches.

It focuses on four key areas:

  • Emotion Regulation: Understanding and managing strong feelings.

  • Distress Tolerance: Getting through crisis moments without making things worse.

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building stronger, healthier relationships.

  • Mindfulness: Learning to stay present and grounded.

At our practice, DBT can be delivered in individual therapy or as part of a broader skills-based approach, tailored to your specific needs.

We work collaboratively to support change while also fostering self-acceptance, helping you feel more in control and connected to what matters most.
