Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Structured Support for Emotional Balance

What is DBT Therapy?

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a therapy treatment style designed to help people who experience intense emotions, difficulties with relationships, or harmful coping patterns. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT therapy has since been shown to support individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, and emotional dysregulation.

DBT combines strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy with mindfulness and acceptance skills. With guidance from an experienced DBT psychologist, you can build the tools to regulate emotions, manage stress, and create healthier relationships.

Our Approach to DBT Therapy

At Associated Psychology Practice, we tailor DBT counselling to meet the unique needs of each client. Our approach focuses on teaching and strengthening four key DBT skill areas:

Mindfulness – staying present and grounded in the moment
Distress Tolerance – managing crises without making situations worse
Emotion Regulation – understanding and shifting emotional responses
Interpersonal Effectiveness – improving communication and setting healthy boundaries

Our experienced DBT psychologists offer a supportive environment where you can practice and apply these skills in everyday life.
