Our Approaches
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is designed for individuals who feel overwhelmed by emotional undercontrol and struggle with behaviors like self-harm, impulsivity, or unstable relationships. It's particularly effective for people with borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, or those who find it hard to regulate their emotions. DBT teaches practical skills for managing stress, improving relationships, and building a life that feels more stable and fulfilling.
Radically Open DBT (RO DBT)
RO DBT is a unique adaptation of DBT for those who experience emotional overcontrol. It’s ideal for individuals who may struggle with perfectionism, rigidity, social isolation, or fear of vulnerability. RO DBT promotes openness, flexibility, and connection by exploring ways to relax strict self-control and welcome new experiences. This approach helps people embrace authentic connection and increase spontaneity in life.
Depending on your therapy goals, we may draw on other approaches such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
