Accessing therapy can be daunting and the hardest steps are often at the beginning of the journey towards change and understanding. At times we do not understand why we are feeling the way we are, sometimes we feel misunderstood and often we hide the pain we are feeling or have been carrying with us for so long. It may seem there is no hope and change is not possible. However we sometimes just need that sincere and committed person who will not judge us, who will listen to us and importantly challenge us in a way that is caring and respectful joining us on this journey of growth and change.

There is no question life is stressful - especially at this time. We are all looking at the new ‘normal’ wondering how we got here.. It is normal for there to be an increase in depression and anxiety right now, but the good news is that help is available. You do not have to struggle alone. We all need a neutral, non-judgmental person to talk things through with. I believe that knowing you are not alone, and having that safe place to express your fears, or uncover how the past influences you today, is essential for mental health.

I believe in healing and I done it myself using the modality of IFS by Richard Schwartz and I am still healing discovering new hidden corners in my psychic. Being with childhood developmental trauma myself in a home, where my emotional needs were not taken care and I was neglected, I know very well how you might feel. I know also that it is important to put your intention in the universe or make a goal for your healing then for sure you will be able to succeed to accomplish it. It do not need to be difficult neither so time consuming. I will teach you how to use IFS and you will be able to heal in between sessions.

I entered the world of psychotherapy so I could manage and eventually overcome the painful emotions and thoughts that I had experienced. If this is the case for you, then psychotherapy can help you explore uncomfortable feelings that have held you back from living life to the full. Life often throws the unexpected at us, be it through relationships, either personal or professional, we sometimes find it difficult to cope alone and need the support to help us through this difficult time.

It’s even more difficult if you’re wrestling with a negative inner voice or baggage from your past. Perhaps you’ve forgotten what real joy or feeling safe is like? I understand. It’s not your fault. It’s because you have a tricky human brain with a sensitive threat system, that can tie you up in knots trying to cope.

Whether you have experienced counselling before, or whether this is wholly new to you, welcome. It can feel hard to be in the world when it is painful and frustrating or we don't quite understand the point, or what is going on. It is equally as hard to hope and desire in the face of a world that can disappoint so profoundly. Perhaps you are not sure what you want, but you are curious about yourself and want space to get to know yourself and to be known, particularly without having solutions forced upon you. For, sometimes we find our way more easily when we are allowed to play with possibilities, and to do so alongside another.

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.
