DBT Family Therapy
The support of friends and family is crucial for patients who are undergoing Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
It is for this reason that we run a DBT family therapy group online, which friends and family of patients are free to join and participate in for the duration of each treatment programme. With a fully supportive environment in which to practise the new techniques that are learned during each treatment session, it is considerably easier for patients to overcome the challenges posed by Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in their day-to-day lives.
What to Expect From Our DBT Family Therapy Group
Some friends and family may be reticent to join our family group sessions, especially if they are not sure what to expect. With this in mind, we would like to assure participants in our online group that confidentiality is a priority and is maintained at all times. We know how important your privacy is to you and it is just as important to us: we take all necessary steps to safeguard your personal information.
Our DBT family therapy group provides a judgement-free environment in which friends and relatives of patients can discuss the issues they face on a daily basis and how best they can provide the support that BPD sufferers require. The group therapy can be very empowering for family members as it removes the feeling of helplessness that is often experienced, replacing it with tried and tested techniques that can be used to support the patient and aid their recovery.
If you decide to join our family therapy group, you will be under no pressure to share information that you are not comfortable revealing to others. You can use the group as additional support throughout the treatment programme, dropping in whenever you wish to ask questions or share your own experiences with other group members.

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
