DBT Oxford
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a proven treatment option that works very well for many people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
Comprehensive DBT Therapy in Oxford
Studies have revealed that more than three-quarters of patients who undergo DBT in Oxford and elsewhere are no longer classified as suffering from BPD after completing their treatment programme. Whilst you may still experience some symptoms, they should be less severe and you will be better equipped to deal with them in a controlled manner. If you would like to find out more about DBT and how it could help, please call or email us now.
Taking an Assessment for DBT in Oxford
Before you can start a new treatment programme, you need to be assessed by one of our experienced therapists. You can book an online assessment at any time: once we receive your booking request we should be able to arrange for your assessment within 24 hours, assuming it is convenient for you. If we feel that DBT is a suitable choice for your condition, you can have your assessment fee credited against any future treatment invoices.
What a Course of DBT in Oxford Comprises
We offer courses for adults as well as courses for adolescents. These courses are delivered separately as the mode of treatment differs slightly for younger patients. Whether you are an adolescent or an adult with BPD, the course you take will cover all 4 core DBT modules. You will also have access to various other support options whilst attending weekly group treatment sessions:
- Crisis Coaching – In between your weekly Zoom sessions, you will be able to contact a qualified therapist in the event you encounter a crisis in your life. You can talk the matter through with your therapist, who will guide you on how to use the skills you have learned to stay in control.
- Peer-Led WhatsApp Group – It can be very helpful to talk about your treatment and the skills you are learning with others who are receiving DBT in Oxford or elsewhere in the UK. You will have the opportunity to do this in our WhatsApp DBT Group.
- Family Support Group – We also have an online family support group, in which family members can discover how best to help you while you are completing your therapy course.
Book Your Initial Assessment
Once you have completed your course, you can also join an aftercare group, which offers 10 weeks of further support in weekly Zoom meetings.
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
