Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health disorder that is characterized by intense and unstable emotions, impulsive behavior, and unstable relationships. The most effective treatment for BPD is a form of psychotherapy called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on helping individuals learn new coping skills to manage their emotions and behaviors. Other forms of therapy that have been found to be effective in treating BPD include cognitive therapy, mentalization-based therapy, and schema-focused therapy. Medications may also be used in conjunction with therapy to help manage symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Get in touch to see if we can find the best way to support your healing.

Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
There is little evidence for medication being effect in this condition but psychotherapy on the other hand has been demonstrated to be helpful. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
I specialize in all forms of personality disorder, but I always emphasize the difference between disordered personality traits and a full-blown personality disorder. The main feature of Borderline personality disorder is that in order to repair the fractured sense of self an individual adopts a reality that is somewhat different than that experienced by others: the goal of therapy is to reintegrate the individual's experienced reality with others.
