Online Dialectical
Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is the gold-standard treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), also known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD). But it’s equally effective for anyone struggling with intense emotions or self-destructive behaviours.
DBT may help if you’re struggling with:
Our experienced team has extensive experience and a great success rate using DBT to treat BPD and other behaviours. By the end of treatment, many patients experience immense life changes far beyond what they imagined possible at the start, including:
DBT helps people manage intense emotions and impulsive behaviours by teaching practical coping skills and setting clear, client-defined goals. It increases emotional and cognitive regulation by identifying triggers and building new responses to events, thoughts and feelings.
The core principles of DBT are:
At Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy, we offer a full DBT programme for both adults and adolescents, including weekly one-to-one therapy and DBT skills groups.
We support clients experiencing BPD/ EUPD, as well as emotional dysregulation linked to ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, and eating disorders.
We offer a comprehensive DBT programme, including weekly online group skills sessions and 1:1 therapy sessions either online or in our clinic in Guildford. This is open to both adults and adolescents.
We have a personalised approach to therapy, helping individuals navigate intense emotions and impulsive behaviours towards a path of healing and self-discovery.
“From start to finish, it taught me so much about myself.”
“Thank you for challenging me when I needed it.”
“I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made in a short time.”
“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”
Our full DBT programme includes both DBT skills groups and individual sessions, with the option for additional skills coaching in between if needed.
This combination is backed by research as the most effective and quickest route to emotional regulation, behaviour change and personal growth.
If you’re not able to take part in the full programme, we also offer flexible pathways, such as standalone individual DBT therapy or group-only access. Get in touch to discuss your options.

Our online DBT Skills group sessions are structured like classes – not group therapy – and are led by trained therapists using the Linehan skills training manual.
Each week, you’ll explore a key skill through teaching, discussion, reflection and real-life practice (“homework”).
Over the course of the programme, we cover a number of key modules, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Unlike other DBT providers, we keep our groups small and personal to allow for more support, more focus and a chance to make meaningful connections in a calmer, more validating environment.
We run separate groups for adults and adolescents, and offer adaptations for neurodiverse clients. Sessions are supportive, practical and designed to help you feel more in control.
Our DBT programme includes weekly 50-minute one-to-one sessions online or in person (Guildford, Surrey).
These individual sessions give you space to apply DBT skills to your real-life challenges, track progress towards your therapy goals, and explore any behaviours, triggers and patterns in depth.
DBT is supported by decades of research (Linehan et al., 1991, 2006 and 2015) and is considered one of the most effective treatments for BPD and others with emotional dysregulation, including ADHD and PTSD.
The full programme’s blend of skills training and individual sessions is often the most effective solution.
