Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counselling in Hove
It can be really unsettling to deal with negative emotions by ourselves and to not know what we can do to help ourselves to feel better. I have been guiding clients for 16 years to achieve a resilient emotional stability and a more balanced sense of self-worth.

Anxious?
Depressed?
Drinking too much?
Over using recreational drugs?
Relationships suffering?
I use a hypno-psychotherapeutic approach to help you safely & supportively recreate unwanted, feared scenarios, such as the above, before re-stepping into them but this time forewarned and forearmed.
I am Integratively trained so this means I have trained in many modalities so I can get you to where you really want to be not where you habitually return to as if it's an inevitability you can do nothing about.
You can & I'll show you how. Never mind the why it's about the how.
It's about what you want, NOT what you don't!
My door's open....

I offer a tailored, DBT-informed approach that adapts to your specific needs.
My ideal client feels "stuck", either literally behind the wheel or figuratively in life. You might feel your world shrinking due to driving anxiety, motorway panic, or trauma from a past accident. Or perhaps traditional face-to-face therapy feels too stagnant; you need a space that moves with you. You want to reclaim your independence and confidence, but the fear feels too heavy to navigate alone. You are looking for a therapist who understands that how we navigate the road often reflects how we navigate life. You need a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can finally feel back in the driver’s seat.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
