DBT Durham
Over the last 10 years, we have helped thousands of people in the UK to manage the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) more effectively and, as a consequence, to lead more satisfying and balanced lives.
Personalised DBT Therapy in Durham
We have been able to do this thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the theory and application of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). DBT is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is designed to help patients change their thinking patterns and take control of the way they react to potentially distressing events and situations. We are pleased to be able to offer DBT in Durham to both adolescent and adult BPD sufferers, via small Zoom groups. If you would like to enrol in a treatment programme, please feel free to book an assessment now.
What to Expect From DBT in Durham
The main component of our DBT programmes is a series of weekly skills group sessions, held online via Zoom. Each programme covers all of the key concepts of DBT, which are arranged into 4 core modules. In addition to the weekly skills group sessions, the fee for your treatment programme will include:
- Crisis Survival Coaching – If you find yourself struggling to use the skills you are learning and you feel that you are losing control, you can contact a qualified therapist in between your weekly sessions. Your therapist will coach you in the use of the techniques and skills you have acquired, helping you to take back control.
- Parent and Partners Support Group – Your family can use our support group to find out how best to help you while you are completing your DBT in Durham.
- WhatsApp Group – Whilst participating in the weekly skills group meetings, you will have access to our WhatsApp Group, a peer-led group that enables patients to discuss their treatment with others and share what they have learned.
- Aftercare Group – After completing your DBT course, you can join our aftercare group. Running for 10 weeks, this group meets on a weekly basis to learn how to use the skills they have acquired more effectively.

Amy Matthew2022-06-25I have had so many years struggling with my anxiety and have seen a few professionals over the years but my time I have spent with Jason has really helped me become so much more confident in myself and I can't thank him enough for taking the time to understand my issues and giving me the best tools that will stay with me and help me to continue to grow and become a stronger woman. Thank you Jason.
Jack Christodoulou2022-06-25I would like to express my gratitude to Jason Ward for he's amazing help and getting me through dark times and into the light again. (I didn't think it was possible) many thanks life is better now.
Tallie Samuels2021-08-10I completed all four modules of the DBT course in 2020, and I can honestly say my life has been changed. I received so much support from Jason & Jerinda throughout my sessions, and I always felt like I was in a safe space with them. Throughout the course, I built up skills that I am still using today. I now find everyday life easier to manage; feel more in control of my emotional responses; am able to to tap into 'wise mind' rather than thinking in black & white; and I have a number of coping skills that make emotional crises easier to manage, when they do happen. This is the best course of therapy I have ever completed, and I have tried many different kinds in my lifetime. Thanks to the skills I learnt on the course, and to my own hard work integrating them into my life, I now live a life that feels worth living. Thank you.
Samantha Tran-Larkin2019-11-26I have completed 2 modules of the DBT programme so far and I can honestly say it has honestly changed my life. I am not a stranger to therapy. 2 years ago I started general psychotherapy following the birth of my 4th child as I developed what I thought was PND. I also had a volatile relationship. Because of my personal circumstances, things progressively got worse. When I started the DBT programme I was lost, angry, hopeless and saw this as my last chance to solve some crisis of mine. 2 modules in, I feel refreshed and optimistic. I understand myself more and get boundaries. I am more productive and for the first time in a long while I can actually say I am happy. I will most likely revisit certain modules for a little refresh and will continue to use my invaluable DBT skills everyday. Thank you Jason.
Sevda Sipahi2019-10-01I was feeling insecure, anxious and depressed. I have joined the DBT sessions. I found it so helpful and effective. Before DBT, l wasn’t aware of the skills. Jason and Jurenda are such amazing people with their knowledge and positivity. They were so supportive. They taught me the skills and motivated me a lot to use the skills. Gradually l felt l improved myself quite a lot and definitely l feel much better now than before. It also improved my self confidence. I am more aware of myself now than before. I learnt to be in wise mind rather than being too emotional or too rational. I want to thank Jason and Jurenda for their good work, support and kindness.
Jess2018-03-08I've been working on my DBT skills with Jason for the past 9 months. In that time I have learnt enough repair damaged relationships with family, to begin to curb my unhealthy 'problem behaviours' and to start to build back up my self esteem and work on treating myself with kindness and compassion. I would thoroughly recommend DBT therapy, I think we all have a lot to learn from it. Without it and without Jason I wouldn't be where I am right now - I'm very grateful.
Samuel Perry2018-02-10Jason helped me through a very low period in my life, I was depressed and anxious, using DBT skills helped resolve my symptoms.
Daniel Fox2018-01-30Got the training last year here and I can clearly say I am much skilled in DBT. They have changed my skill and this course is really helpful. Thanks
