Borderline Personality Disorder
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Borderline Personality Disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that typically describes a set of difficult, often disturbing experiences that a person has in relation to themselves and others. Difficulties coping with one's own emotions - often powerful and overwhelming; a lack of internal and external stability; destructive behaviours - these are some of the common problems that people who meet criteria for BPD often face.
In more recent years this condition has also been referred to as "complex post-traumatic stress disorder", thus acknowledging the wide range of life adversities faced by those considered to have BPD - for example early life abuse and neglect.
In my experience, and according to many clinical guidelines, individual therapy alone is often not sufficient to support people who have borderline personality disorder. Group interventions, alongside individual and multi-disciplinary support might be a recommended approach to treatment. One size does not fit all, however, and depending on individual presentation and circumstances, one-to-one psychotherapy might be an option to explore in some cases. If you think this might be the case for you, please get in touch so that we can explore this further together.

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.

Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
BPD is a type of mental health disorder that typically involves unstable relationships, intense emotions, and impulsive behaviour. One of the most effective treatment methods for this condition is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. This type of therapy helps individuals develop new coping strategies.
Various forms of therapy can be used to treat BPD, such as cognitive therapy, schema-focused therapy, and mentalisation-based treatment. In addition, medication can be utilised with the therapy to manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression. If you are interested in finding a treatment method that can support your recovery, get in touch.
