DBT Therapy Scotland
For people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), daily events and situations can be much harder to handle without losing emotional control. Fortunately, there is a treatment option for this condition that has proven to be very successful over the years.
Comprehensive DBT Therapy in Scotland
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which is a form of CBT, has been shown to help more than 75% of patients who try it. As DBT specialists, we have treated thousands of BPD sufferers in the UK, including many here in Scotland. It would be our pleasure to extend the same treatment to you, via a small online Zoom group that meets on a weekly basis. Before enrolling in a group, we ask you to take an assessment so we can make sure that DBT in Scotland is the right choice for you. You can book an assessment online at any time and under normal circumstances, we will be able to make all the necessary arrangements within 24 hours of receiving your booking request.
Assessment for DBT Therapy in Scotland: What to Expect
If you have never been formally assessed, you may feel a little nervous about the prospect of revealing personal details to a therapist online but there is nothing for you to worry about.
All assessments are private and confidential, and are conducted by a fully qualified and experienced professional. Furthermore, because DBT focuses on analysing your behaviour and learning new skills to cope with emotional swings, you will not be asked to reveal sensitive information about your past. Your therapist will concentrate on assessing the frequency and severity of the symptoms that you experience now.
After your assessment has been completed, you will then be able to discuss what the best treatment for your condition is. If we believe that DBT therapy in Scotland is a suitable mode of treatment for your condition, we will help you to enrol in a course that takes place at a convenient time every week.

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
