Dialetical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals develop skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build emotional stability. Originally developed to support individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, DBT combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness practices.

DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change—helping clients validate their emotional experiences while also learning practical tools to respond more effectively. This approach is especially helpful for individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions or struggle with impulsive behaviours.
