As is the case with many psychological difficulties the first essential step is a rigorous diagnosis. In order to be diagnosed with a personality disorder a spread of personality traits must be disordered above the diagnostic threshold. The world standard in the diagnosis of personality disorder is the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) published by the World Health Organization. If a diagnosis is made there are treatments available that can be successful, but there are no easy fixes.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
The term personality disorders are frequently used, often out of context, in conversation to refer to a group of medical conditions. There is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding around this term. I have worked with individuals who have these conditions, and I have witnessed how they can be very challenging to manage.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
A 'personality disorder' is a dreaded diagnosis for many. Partly due to the stigma it attracts, but also because this umbrella term encompasses a varied set of personal and interpersonal difficulties that are persistent (are not confined in set period of a person's life), problematic and pervasive (affect more than one area of life).
I have an extensive experience working with individuals who either meet criteria for a personality disorder to experience some personality disorder traits. If you think this might be the case for you and would like to explore whether psychotherapy might be right for you, please get in touch.

Dr David Tilbrook
Psychologist, Chartered Clinical Psychologist Specialising in Psychotherapy with Senior Practitioner Status
What a terrible term! Let's think instead of survival and how amazing and creative we can be as human beings, to get through emotionally toxic environments. Emotional trauma, often from the earliest stages of life, can be addressed and resolved with compassionate, robust and intensive therapy. I will work with you with 100% commitment, co-creating a relationship for change and healing.
