Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills

What it is

DBT-informed work teaches four skill families — mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is especially useful when emotions arrive at full volume and act before you can think.

What a session feels like

Skills-first and validating. You'll practise concrete techniques for storm moments and review what worked, without judgement about what didn't.

Often used for

Approaches are tools, not boxes — most counsellors blend methods around you, and the intro consultation takes care of finding the blend that fits.
