Do you know that the symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship problems are often linked to childhood trauma induced people-pleasing pattern, but many are unaware of it? If you ever notice it is challenging for you to upset others, or you are struggling to meet expectations, or worry about others' opinions, you may be caught in a people-pleasing pattern. This pattern can lead to low self-esteem, a diminished sense of self-worth, neglecting one's own needs, resulting in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Breaking free involves a journey of self-discovery, addressing the origins and healing the inner traumatised child.

Hi! I'm Diana. I'm a registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience working in Private Practice. The reality of life is that it's filled with ups and downs. At times we can feel lost, stuck or overwhelmed. Relationships can be difficult to navigate. Marriages can go through periods of distress and disconnection. Or sometimes we cannot find a way out of our grief and loss. Trying to cope alone we often end up going around in circles. I'm passionate about providing a safe, non-judgemental and caring space for you to talk, work through, or resolve, whatever life situation you are experiencing.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Counsellors
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.
What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.
What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.
What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
