Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy for people who experience emotions intensely or feel caught in recurring crisis patterns. The programme combines practical skills training with therapy, helping clients build mindfulness, tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and communicate more effectively in relationships.

Who is this for?

  • Adults experiencing intense emotions, mood swings, or feeling 'too much'
  • People managing self-harm urges, suicidal thoughts, or recurring crises
  • Those in unstable or conflict-heavy relationships looking for healthier patterns
  • Clients with significant emotion-regulation difficulties who want structured skills
  • Anyone who has tried talk therapy alone and wants concrete, practical skills

The Process

1

Initial consultation

50 min

Meet a DBT therapist to discuss your situation, goals, and whether DBT is the right fit. We'll explain how the program works and answer questions.

2

Weekly skills group

100 min

Join a small cohort co-led by two facilitators. Each module covers a core DBT skill: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, or interpersonal effectiveness.

3

Therapy

50 min

A weekly therapy session with your therapist to apply skills to your life, work through specific challenges, and track progress.

4

Monthly progress review

Together with your therapist, review what's working, what to adjust, and your next set of goals.

Most clients enroll in both the weekly group and therapy. You can choose either alone if recommended by your therapist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to join both the group and therapy?

Most clients do both. The group teaches skills and therapy sessions help you apply them to your life. Some clients join only the group or only therapy based on their therapist's recommendation. We'll discuss the right plan in your initial consultation.

How long does the program take?

DBT typically runs in 6-month modules covering all four core skills. Many clients stay for a full year or longer. You can pause or end membership anytime. There's no fixed contract.

What does the monthly pack cost?

Discounts are available for monthly packs. Please discuss the options with our front desk staff.

What if I miss a group session?

Group sessions can't be rescheduled individually since they're cohort-based. If you let staff know in advance, your therapist will catch you up on the skill content in your next therapy session.

Is DBT only for borderline personality disorder?

No. DBT was originally developed for BPD but is also used for people with severe emotion dysregulation, chronic self-harm risk, suicidality, or similarly intense behavioural and interpersonal patterns. For PTSD and complex PTSD, trauma-focused treatments are usually the primary treatment, though DBT skills may sometimes be used as an adjunct or stabilisation approach when clinically indicated.

Isn't borderline personality disorder an oppressive diagnosis?

It can be. The label has a history of stigma and is sometimes used carelessly. We use it only when it genuinely helps explain a pattern of suffering and points toward useful treatment, not as a moral judgment about the person.
