Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we offer specialized support for individuals grappling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and dissociative symptoms often associated with BPD or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). Our therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in relational dynamics, drawing from attachment theory, and somatic practices to address the complexities of these conditions.
For individuals with BPD, we understand the challenges of managing intense emotions, unstable relationships, and difficulties with self-identity. Our relational-focused therapy places a strong emphasis on building a secure therapeutic alliance, fostering a safe and trusting space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and relational patterns without judgment.
Dissociation, a common feature of BPD and C-PTSD, can present significant barriers to self-awareness and emotional regulation. Through somatic therapy techniques, we help clients reconnect with their bodies, facilitating a deeper understanding of how trauma is held on a physiological level. By incorporating somatic interventions, we aim to support individuals in regulating their nervous systems, grounding themselves in the present moment, and developing a greater sense of coherence and embodiment.
Our integrative approach blends relational attunement with somatic interventions to address the intersecting challenges of BPD and dissociation. By exploring the underlying attachment patterns and body-based responses, we collaborate with clients to navigate the complexities of emotional dysregulation and dissociative experiences. Through a compassionate and holistic framework, we work towards enhancing self-awareness, fostering emotional resilience, and promoting long-lasting healing and growth.
Our goal is to provide a supportive and affirming space where individuals with BPD and dissociation can find understanding, acceptance, and transformative healing. We are dedicated to supporting our clients on their journey towards reclaiming agency, restoring inner balance, and cultivating a greater sense of wholeness and well-being.

Ajay Sahota
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition where you have challenges controlling emotions. You feel emotions more intensely and for longer than the average person.
Strong emotions (guilt, shame, anxiety, etc.) can be very painful and you may become angry easily. It is often difficult to feel positive emotions, like happiness and it can feel impossible to control your emotions. Relationships with your family and friends are affected by these emotions, and feelings of loneliness and isolation are a result.
When emotions run your life, you can experience extra challenges, such as:
Overreacting
Mood swings
Frequent crises
Suicidal thoughts and destructive behaviour
Impulsiveness
Substance misuse
Relationship problems
Fear of abandonment
Are these challenges familiar? Have you done a counselling program in the past to address these issues but would like to continue counselling?
The good news is that I have been providing counselling to individuals, and their partners/family members, who struggle with BPD and other challenges since 2015. I have experience helping people learn new skills and to change behaviours and take control of their lives.
Counselling can help you understand BPD and provide you with emotional support, skills and training to manage your emotions and improve your relationships with loved ones.
