Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a form of counselling that focuses on teaching practical skills to help people manage emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stressful situations. It was originally developed to support individuals who experience intense emotions or struggle with patterns of behaviour that feel difficult to change. DBT combines acceptance strategies with techniques for change, helping clients both understand and work through their challenges. This makes it particularly helpful for managing issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, self-esteem struggles, and difficulties in relationships.
