About DBT FOR bdp
What Is BPD?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD, also known as EUPD or (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder) is a mental health condition that affects how individuals experience and regulate emotions, relate to others and view themselves. It is often characterised by intense emotional responses, difficulty maintaining stable relationships, fear of abandonment and impulsive behaviours. These challenges can significantly impact daily life, but with the right support, individuals can learn to manage symptoms more effectively and build healthier patterns.
How DBT Helps with BPD
DBT was originally developed specifically to support individuals with BPD, making it one of the most relevant and effective therapeutic approaches for this condition.
DBT focuses on building skills that can help with:
Managing intense emotional responses
Reducing impulsive or harmful behaviours
Improving relationship stability and communication
Developing healthier coping strategies
Increasing self-awareness and emotional control
For individuals experiencing ongoing emotional distress or instability, DBT provides a structured and supportive framework for change.
DBT Skills

Individuals with BPD often experience intense and rapidly changing emotions. DBT helps you understand emotional triggers and develop strategies to respond in a more balanced and controlled way.
Distress Tolerance
This focuses on managing difficult or overwhelming situations without resorting to impulsive or harmful behaviours. It helps build resilience during moments of crisis.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness supports greater awareness of thoughts and emotions, helping you stay present and reduce reactivity.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
DBT helps improve communication and relationship skills, supporting more stable and healthier interactions with others.

Getting started
BPD and Emotional Dysregulation
Emotional dysregulation is a core feature of BPD and can make everyday situations feel overwhelming or difficult to manage. Individuals may experience intense mood swings, heightened sensitivity to rejection and difficulty controlling emotional reactions.
This can include:
Rapid changes in mood
Fear of abandonment
Intense or unstable relationships
Impulsive reactions or behaviours
Difficulty managing anger or distress
DBT is specifically designed to address these challenges, helping individuals develop emotional stability, improve relationships and respond more effectively in difficult situations.
Who Is DBT for BPD Suitable For?
DBT may be particularly helpful if you:
Experience intense or overwhelming emotions
Struggle with impulsive or reactive behaviours
Find it difficult to maintain stable relationships
Experience fear of abandonment or emotional sensitivity
Want structured, practical tools to manage your mental health
DBT can be adapted for both adults and young people, depending on individual needs.
DBT as Part of BPD Support
DBT is often used as a core part of treatment for BPD, but it may also be combined with other forms of support depending on individual needs.
It can complement:
Mental health assessments and diagnosis
Other therapeutic approaches
Support for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression
This integrated approach allows individuals to work on both emotional regulation and broader mental health challenges.

Client Reviews
What Our Clients Say About Our DBT Therapy
The DBT group is helpful in finding methods to allow for improvement of life experiences. I’ve found the group experience to be insightful with members sharing their personal experiences with the methods taught and how they have adapted them to make them fit to their specific needs. Making connections to the facilitators and group members dealing with difficulties and still showing up to help improve themselves is inspiring and encouraging to keeping the commitment to yourself of showing up every week. I’ve found group to be a safe space and being surrounded by supportive individuals you truly feel as if you have people in your corner and on your team building together.
Anonymous Client
I first came into contact with Home Counties Therapy two years ago and at that point was in a very dark place feeling like I didn’t have options or anywhere to turn to.
I have been seeing them on a 1.2.1 basis and have had group DBT sessions as well.
From the outset Lorna was welcoming, understanding and has helped me to get my life back on track. I’m now back in education, have a great relationship with my family and am feeling the best I ever have, this is all down to HCT guiding me along the way and encouraging me to persevere with change.
Jared
I have just completed a 6 month course of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy with Home Counties Therapy.
This course has been invaluable in providing me with skills that I did not possess before beginning the course. In particular I have found the interpersonal skills training and the distress tolerance tools to be helpful.
The trainers are compassionate and have fantastic knowledge of both the course material & the supporting psychology. They have a great way of helping every member of the group to understand the course material and apply it to our own lives. No one gets left behind.
Jackie
Through DBT and my 1-2-1 sessions I have noticed a change in myself and started to challenge my thoughts and have come to understand why I’m feeling the way I do.
My therapist has been fantastic! Home Counties has helped me a lot and I’ve got skills to set me for life I love the fact that if I am having a crisis someone is always at the end of the phone to help me get through it.
Highly recommend!
Jen
DBT has completely transformed my life, giving me the tools to cope with everyday challenges. I went from struggling to use the tools and not understanding how to utilise them and over time it has become easier and a way of life. I have my good and bad days like everyone but with the constant reminder that I have DBT to help me if I have my really bad days which pulls me through. Since using DBT I have less bad days which it takes me quicker to recover from. I recommend DBT to everyone and still to this day look at the tools to refresh my memory. I have even started using DBT with my children. Thank you to Matthew and their team for helping through a very dark time.

Being a part of the DBT Group has opened my eyes to some comforting truths: that I’m not alone in my struggles, that help and understanding is out there from peers as well as therapists, and that there are skills to learn that can help me manage the daily challenges I always seem to be facing.
I’ve found the DBT skills to be of great help in earning back competency, freedom of mind, and a healthy sense of control in my life. Having tools with which to navigate the difficulties of life, especially those created of my own mind, has opened doors for me that I felt were shut for good, and I feel the future is now manageable, and even hopeful.
