Why DBT?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the early 1990s to treat borderline personality disorder. Drawing on principles from cognitive behavioural therapy and Zen Buddhism, DBT integrates strategies for both acceptance and change—offering a compassionate yet practical approach to emotional wellbeing.
​
At its core, DBT helps individuals develop skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal relationships and cultivate mindfulness. While initially designed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has since been successfully adapted to treat a range of conditions related to emotional dysregulation, including eating disorders, substance use and mood disorders. To date, more than 1,000 peer-reviewed research studies have supported its effectiveness.
​
Our DBT therapists are committed to excellence in clinical care. They engage in ongoing professional development, including advanced training, regular supervision, and active participation in consultation teams. This ensures they remain current with the latest developments in DBT and deliver the highest standard of treatment to those in their care.
