DBT therapy in Edinburgh for Adults and Adolescents

dbt-therapy-edinburgh

We offer two full DBT programmes in Edinburgh, one for adults and a separate programme designed specifically for adolescents. The adult programme is delivered over 30 weeks while the adolescent programme is delivered in 3 cycles, of 16 weeks each. However, not all adolescents will need to complete all 3 cycles. At the end of each one, we review the progress that has been made and, together with the patient, decide on a future treatment plan. Many adolescents are able to achieve excellent results after just 2 cycles.

All of our DBT treatment programmes cover the 4 core modules of dialectical behaviour therapy: Emotional Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Mindfulness. If you only want to complete a single module, this is possible. However, to obtain the maximum benefit from your treatment, we recommend completing all 4 modules. By doing so, you will learn all the techniques you need to lead a more balanced and stable life.

Starting DBT Therapy in Edinburgh

 

We start new therapy programmes on a regular basis but before you attend your first session, we ask that you undergo an assessment so that we can make an accurate diagnosis of your condition.

We will then arrange to assess you within 24 hours, often on the same day if it is convenient for you.

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

I 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.

I'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.
