ONLINE DIALECTICAL
BEHAVIOUR THERAPY
(DBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioural therapy. It focuses on balancing opposites and combining different views to overcome extreme thinking patterns.
DBT targets specific symptoms by setting clear, client-defined goals to address harmful behaviours. It increases emotional and cognitive regulation by identifying triggers and teaching coping skills to manage reactions to events, thoughts and feelings.
DBT is the gold-standard treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD).
It’s effective for anyone struggling with emotional regulation and destructive behaviours, such as:
Our experienced team has extensive experience and a great success rate in 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.
Our DBT programme currently takes place online, and we have an additional adolescent DBT service that runs both online and in our clinic in Guildford.

“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.”
The full DBT programme involves both DBT Skills group sessions and weekly individual sessions, with the option for additional skills coaching in between subject to need.
This programme is the most effective and quickest route to making changes in your day-to-day life and reach your therapy goals.
If you’re not able to take part in the full programme, contact us to discuss either the group or individual sessions separately.
For an example of forms and skills used within DBT, visit DBT Self Help website.
Our DBT Skills group sessions are classes that take place online.
Therapists will teach you DBT skills directly from the Linehan skills training manual, using exercises, group activities, reflections and ‘homework’ to practice these skills in everyday life.
Over the course of the programme, we cover a number of key modules, including mindfulness skills, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal skills.
We run DBT Skills groups for adults and adolescents each week.
Our DBT programme includes weekly one-to-one 50-minute sessions both online and in person in Guildford, Surrey.
These individual sessions help you to reduce impulsive behaviours and reach your therapy goals by learning new skills.
There is a wealth of evidence to support DBT’s success when treating BPD (Linehan et al., 1991, 2006 and 2015).
The full programme’s blend of skills training and individual sessions is often the most effective solution.
