Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a structured, skills-based counselling approach to help individuals manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviours, and build stronger interpersonal connections.
At Horizon Within, DBT is offered as a supportive pathway to emotional balance and personal growth.
DBT is especially helpful for:
– Mood swings and emotional instability
Clients who experience emotional highs and lows learn mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills. These tools help to reduce reactivity and promote better emotional stability in everyday life.
– Impulsive actions and unhelpful behaviours
For individuals coping with urges or acting impulsively, DBT offers effective distress tolerance strategies. These skills are intended for immediate application and sustainable behavioural change.
– Establishing boundaries and being assertive
DBT helps clients develop interpersonal effectiveness. For those who find it challenging to communicate their needs or maintain boundaries, DBT provides practical, repeatable skills for fostering more balanced and respectful relationships.
DBT at Horizon Within is grounded in research and delivered with structure and compassion.
It is especially valuable for individuals seeking to develop emotional control, self-awareness, and relationship skills in a meaningful and sustainable manner.
