We work effectively with people both with and without a personality disorder diagnosis. We teach individuals how to cope with the problems they face using DBT skills. The types of problems we typically work with include:

• Impulsivity
• Self harm 
• Relationship difficulties
• Emotional instability (including intense feelings or rapid mood changes)
• Difficulties understanding and managing emotions
• Disconnection from self/others
• Feeling as though you are surviving rather than living
• Recurrent dysfunctional patterns or ways of coping with stress

If you relate to any of these difficulties, we may be able to help you. Please contact us for more information or to arrange an assessment.
