DBT for Relationships
As experts in the use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to treat various mental health disorders, we are very aware of the power it has to help people control their moods and emotions.
Learning how to effectively control emotions in stressful situations is key to the recovery of those who suffer from BPD or Bipolar 2. It is also a very useful skill to have when negotiating the ups and downs of personal relationships.
With our DBT for Relationships, you will learn how to take a step back and observe what is happening to your emotions during stressful situations that involve the people who are closest to you in your everyday life. You will also learn more appropriate ways of reacting to events and actions that make you unhappy.
DBT for Relationships: Learning Key Skills for a Happy Life
All of the skills and strategies covered in our DBT treatment programmes can be used to manage your emotions more effectively. Many of the skills you will study are specifically designed to make it easier for you to manage your personal relationships in a healthier way, which makes DBT a great choice for those who are currently experiencing difficulties in this area of their lives. In particular, the Interpersonal Effectiveness module covers ways in which you can deal with others in a more efficient and non-combative manner.
- Setting Boundaries – In a DBT for Relationships programme, you will learn how to set boundaries: how to let others know what is not acceptable to you.
- Asking for What You Need – In addition to learning how to tell people what you don’t want from your relationships, you will also learn how to tell them what you do want.
- General Communication Skills – Knowing how to listen and how to respond to others is of vital importance if you wish to enjoy healthy relationships throughout your life. You will learn how to communicate more effectively during your treatment programme.
With all of these skills and many more to learn, you may find the prospect of undergoing DBT for Relationships quite daunting but there’s no need to be afraid. Our courses are developed and delivered by highly experienced professionals who have helped many people to enjoy healthier personal relationships in their day-to-day lives.

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
