DBT: An Introduction

On-Demand Training with Dr Fiona Kennedy

This engaging, practical training offers a clear introduction to Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)—an evidence-based approach originally developed for Borderline Personality Disorder and now widely used to support individuals with a range of difficulties, including emotional dysregulation, self-harm, substance misuse, eating disorders, and more.

Led by Dr Fiona Kennedy, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, this on-demand course is ideal for therapists, mental health professionals, and anyone working with people facing complex emotional or behavioural challenges. You don’t need to be a therapist to benefit, anyone in a supportive role will gain valuable tools and insights.

The course explores DBT’s core principles and structure, including how to build trust and engagement, use mindfulness and validation techniques, prioritise treatment targets, and apply DBT strategies in both group and one-to-one settings. Practical demonstrations and case discussions help bring the material to life, with clear guidance on how to start using DBT techniques in your own work.
