DBT-Informed Skills Group Programme 2026


Learn practical skills based on DBT principles

Programme Overview

Dates and Structure

Dates and Structure

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), the model of treatment from which the skills referenced in this group programme originates, is a broad-based cognitive-behavioural treatment that has been found to be effective for a wide range of disorders and problems, including depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders and addictions.


This brief 8-week group therapy program focuses on building skills through didactic and experiential components. The primary aim is to reduce skills deficits linked to difficulties with control of emotions (either over, or under control) and resultant behaviours. Emotion dysregulation has been linked to different mental health problems, in part due to challenges it creates in areas of impulse control, interpersonal relationships, and self-image. 


The overall goal of DBT skills training is to help individuals change behavioural, emotional, thinking, and interpersonal patterns associated with problems they face in their lives.

Testimonials from past participants

Testimonials from past participants

"I can highly recommend this course — I went into it not knowing much about mindfulness but knowing that I wanted to explore this form of self care. At the end of 8 weeks, I feel like I have acquired valuable tools for dealing with stress and keeping myself more centred." – Manasi

Why MBCT?

Testimonials from past participants

Testimonials from past participants

Many of us spend time ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. Mindfulness helps us pay attention to the present moment, becoming more aware of our thoughts, physical sensations, and emotions. Through regular practice, participants learn to respond more skillfully to life's challenges without falling into mind traps of overthinking or rumination. As you cultivate openness and compassion, you also begin to improve relationships—starting with yourself. 

Why Group Therapy?

Group therapy offers unique benefits that complement individual work. You'll learn evidence-based skills in a structured format while practicing new strategies in a supportive environment. The group setting allows you to gain insights from shared experiences, learn from others' perspectives, and build connections with people facing similar challenges. Group programmes are also more accessible in cost compared to individual therapy while still providing professional guidance and meaningful growth opportunities. 

Interested in Future Group Programmes?

We periodically run group programmes based on community interest and need. If you're interested in any of our programmes — DBT skills, social skills for children, or mindfulness — we'd love to hear from you.
