Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
Emotional distress and intense feelings can disrupt any aspect of your life. At Harbor, we provide the UK’s most discreet, supportive environment where you can navigate and manage these challenges with ease, using Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
Transformative healing at Harbor: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a specialised form of psychotherapy, specifically designed for individuals experiencing severe and intense emotional distress that comes with mental health conditions like chronic depression, destructive behaviours, severe eating disorders, or suicidal ideation.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy is closely linked to cognitive-behavioural therapy, but places emphasis on the balance between acceptance and change. This helps clients to focus on ways to reset negative thought patterns by validating any psychological difficulties, while making positive steps toward a healthier future. Our expert team at Harbor offers fully curated residential Dialectical Behavioural Therapy in London, ensuring the highest level of care in a luxurious setting.
Our approach
What to Expect from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
When you undertake luxury residential mental health treatment at Harbor, your dedicated clinical team will focus on helping you develop healthier coping mechanisms and emotional regulation through CBT methods. It has four distinct stages which work in unison with one other, to create a full and effective treatment experience:
- Stage 1: Gain control over your behaviour and psychological wellbeing by managing any extreme emotional instabilities.
- Stage 2: Progress to a more emotionally stable state, by addressing past traumas to experience and then process emotions fully.
- Stage 3: Develop strategies to achieve life goals, improve self-esteem, and achieve true emotional balance. This means you can live your life to the fullest capacity.
- Stage 4: Explore spiritual existence, finding purpose and deeper connection with the world around you.
During each stage, you will be guided by some of the most skilled psychologists and therapists in London, using techniques such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
How it works
How Dialectical Behavioural Therapy can help you
Although originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is also effective for treating a range of conditions, including:
- Depression: Helping you manage persistent sadness and hopelessness.
- Self-harm and suicidal behaviour: Providing tools to cope with and reduce harmful behaviours.
- Addiction: Supporting recovery through emotional regulation and stress management.
- PTSD: Addressing and healing from traumatic experiences.
- Eating disorders: Promoting healthy eating behaviours and self-acceptance.
Once you decide that you are ready to make positive changes to your life, DBT helps you gain control over your emotions, leading to better relationships, improved wellbeing, and a more fulfilling life. Gaining control over your emotions encourages a proactive approach to challenges that previously felt insurmountable, fostering resilience and long-term, sustainable mental health recovery.
