Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counselling in Leatherhead
I am trained in EMDR, and have specialised in working with interpersonal difficulties and relationships including using DBT-informed therapy, and through certification in The Fair Play Method.
Hello and welcome. I am a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist who has over 15 years experience working with individuals and couples to support mental health and relational well-being. I specialise in working with people who have had difficult early experiences, including trauma, that continue to impact them and their ways of relating to others as adults.
I believe understanding ourselves and our ways of relating to others is the first step in creating change, and that, from here, we can move towards processing and healing past traumas, and developing new skills and strategies to transform ourselves and our relationships.

I also hold postgraduate qualifications as a Dialectical Behaviour Therapist ( DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT).
I see that all behaviours such as self-harm, suicide attempts, drinking, drug abuse and other impulsive behaviours have developed as coping strategies to cope with and numb difficult emotions and experiences. These behaviours often act as a plaster to a deeper wound, but just like a plaster they don’t really ever fully heal unless they have time to heal properly. This is the work of therapy to take off the plaster and look more towards the root causes of the behaviour to work out what is going on for you.

Hello. I’m Kate and I’m a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist. I truly believe that in order to resolve some life difficulties, we need to dig deep into a root cause of the problem, usually having its origin in early childhood experiences. We need to look at the way we were brought up by our parents and how we were shaped by early relationships with our closed ones. By doing this, we can notice our defence mechanisms and assess the effectiveness of those in the present and check for the behaviour patterns that we repeat over and over again, not fully understanding the reason behind it.

My ideal client feels stuck—whether in their personal life, career, or relationships. They may be dealing with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, or navigating family or couples dynamics. Some are professionals seeking balance or relief from overwhelming demands. They want practical, evidence-based solutions to move forward, find peace, and develop self-compassion. Their goals are feeling healthy, achieving growth, self-awareness, and balance, seeking transformation beyond coping. I love guiding clients through their journey, helping them find clarity and sustainable change as they thrive personally and professionally. Panta-rei.

Hi, I’m Jodi. I’m a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist blending CBT, REBT, Art Therapy, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practice. I focus on why therapy can sometimes feel frustrating, pointless, or even absurd, like being asked “How does that make you feel?” for the hundredth time, being told to focus on your breathing when all you want to do is facepalm, or hearing “Name five things you can see” and wondering if screaming at your therapist is actually an acceptable response. The truth is, until you understand what’s really happening in your brain and body—and why certain strategies could help—most techniques just don’t stick.

I've trained in DBT which helps with creating a better relationship with emotions and managing self-destructive behaviours.
I work with individuals aged 16+ who may be coming to terms with the realisation that something in their life is not working for them, it's working against them. They want to come to terms with it and/or work on changing it. This could be a combination of issues. A past experience, identity issues, overwhelming emotions or relationship struggles to name a few. They want to live a life that aligns with them better, be present in their lives and gain resilience if life becomes difficult again. Therapy offers the possibility for this.

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.
