BPD
Angela Fawcett
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, RSW
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses, yet it is also highly treatable. People living with BPD often experience emotions intensely, making the world feel overwhelming and relationships feel confusing, dysregulating, or even frightening. Beneath these struggles is often a deep longing for connection, stability, and understanding. I draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based approaches to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, self-compassion, and healthier relationship patterns. With the right support, people can learn to regulate emotions, build secure relationships, strengthen their sense of self, and create meaningful, fulfilling lives. Recovery is possible, and many individuals with BPD experience significant healing and lasting change.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, or you recognize patterns of intense emotions, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, or impulsive reactions, you may feel misunderstood or overwhelmed by your own responses. You might experience emotions that shift quickly and powerfully, leaving you exhausted or ashamed afterward.
At Selah Counselling, we approach borderline personality disorder with compassion and structure. We understand that these patterns often develop from early attachment wounds, trauma, or chronic invalidation. Your reactions make sense in the context of your story. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation skills, strengthening identity, increasing distress tolerance, and creating healthier relational boundaries. Our goal is to help you experience greater stability, clearer thinking during emotional moments, and relationships that feel more secure and less chaotic. Change is possible with consistent support, practical tools, and a safe therapeutic relationship where you are fully seen and respected.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be profoundly challenging. Those affected often endure intense emotional turbulence, unstable relationships, and a fragile or shifting sense of self. Rapid mood swings, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors frequently disrupt their personal lives, creating cycles of conflict and emotional pain. Many individuals with BPD grapple with chronic feelings of emptiness, an overwhelming fear of abandonment, and a distorted self-image that makes it difficult to trust themselves or others.
Managing BPD requires more than willpower—it demands compassionate support, a strong therapeutic alliance, and the development of effective coping strategies. This often includes a combination of therapy, skill-building, and, when appropriate, medication. With the right treatment and support, people with BPD can gain greater emotional stability and go on to lead meaningful, connected lives.
Daniel understands this journey intimately. Several of his close family members live with BPD, giving him deep personal insight into both the daily struggles individuals face and the emotional toll it takes on their loved ones. His empathy, grounded in experience, informs his commitment to helping others navigate the complexities of this condition with respect, patience, and hope.
Daniel offers both brief screening for borderline personality disorder (BPD) and comprehensive, customized assessments that evaluate a wide range of personality disorders, trauma, and commonly co-occurring concerns. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.
