UK DBT Therapists

Despite the variations between different therapists and geographical locations, most Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) courses generally include these types of sessions:

• DBT Pre-Treatment – Some therapists may offer you an assessment or pre-treatment phase of DBT. This is where the therapist will look at how suitable DBT is for you. With multiple sessions, you’ll gain insight into the DBT model and be able to determine if it’s a suitable therapy for your needs. After that initial assessment period, they will ask you to commit to treatment should their approach fit with what is best for you and your situation.
• Individual Therapy – Individual therapy usually involves weekly one-to-one sessions with a DBT therapist. Each session lasts approximately 45–60 minutes. As part of the DBT therapy process, your therapist may request that you complete diary cards to be brought into each session. This is for you to track your emotions and actions, and look for patterns and triggers in your life. You then use this information to decide together what you will work on in each session
• Skills Training in groups – During these sessions DBT therapists will teach you skills in a group setting. This is not group therapy, but more like a series of teaching sessions. There are usually two therapists in a group and sessions might be weekly. The room is sometimes arranged like a classroom where your skills trainers will be sat at the front. The aim of these sessions is to teach you skills that you apply to your day-to-day life.

Dr Jo Gee and her team offer online and face-to-face psychology, counselling and psychotherapy in Guildford, Surrey. We offer evidence based, NICE guideline treatments to help you live a life free from emotional distress.

Psychological therapy and counselling can offer you the opportunity to gain insight into your difficulties or distress, establish a greater understanding of your motivation, find more appropriate ways of coping and develop the tools necessary to bring about changes in your thinking and behaviour.

The team can work with you to explore an aspect of your life, personality or relationship, or help you reach your goals. We use a range of different evidence-based therapies and techniques, including cognitive behavioural, solution-focused and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, helping you to explore your past, current or future concerns.

We work with different modalities depending on your needs and goals. We are an expanding team, with over 18 staff, who are fully trained or are well on their way to achieving accreditation, so any time of the day give us a call or email and we will explore ways together to help you.

Some of our staff even specialise in just carrying out CBT so you are to sure be in the safest hands

We are delighted to be able to offer the gold standard treatment for those struggling with EUPD or BPD: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Our new onlinedbt.co.uk website offers more information about the treatment which includes:

• Group training sessions
• One-to-one therapy sessions
• Crisis coaching
• Family support groups
• DBT for adolescents

This allows us to further cement our message and mission statement in making these crucial services accessible to the most amount of people possible. It takes a lot of courage and strength to face your issues head-on, and if there are barriers in place in regard to access then some people will fall by the wayside. We think this is unacceptable, and while we are only human we are committed to reaching as many as we can.

We separate the groups by age so that we can match you up with people who are in the same situation as you. This gives you the best opportunity to understand and see the issues you may be facing from an outside perspective.

We offer the full DBT programme online via Zoom, from group skills training, to individual DBT and crisis skills coaching. The full DBT programme can be attended via self referral or psychiatrist referral. The group or individual sessions can also be attended as stand alone programmes.

We work with people all over the UK, Ireland, Europe and the rest of the world! If you want to attend this expert programme, contact us. We can help!
