Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a psychological treatment that combines elements of cognitive behavioural therapy with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies. Originally developed for individuals with emotion regulation difficulties, DBT has since been adapted for a range of mental health presentations.

​

At ISN Clinic, DBT-informed therapy is delivered by trained psychologists and may be offered as individual sessions or group-based skills training, depending on suitability.

​

DBT focuses on four key skill areas:

​

• Mindfulness – developing awareness of thoughts, feelings and urges
   

• Emotion regulation – identifying emotions and learning how to manage them
   

• Distress tolerance – handling difficult situations without making them worse
   

• Interpersonal effectiveness – communicating needs while maintaining relationships and self-respect
   

DBT may be helpful for people experiencing emotional dysregulation, interpersonal conflict, impulsive behaviours or difficulties with mood and identity.
