Are overwhelming emotions, impulsive behaviours, or constant inner conflict making life feel unmanageable?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers proven strategies to help you build emotional resilience, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve your relationships — without losing your sense of self.
At Dr. Melanie du Preez Psychology, we offer DBT sessions in Klerksdorp and online DBT therapy for adults and adolescents, making it easy to get support, no matter where you are.
Without losing your sense of self.

What is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy?
DBT is a structured, skills-based therapy designed to support individuals who struggle with intense emotions, mood instability, self-harming behaviours, or difficulty in interpersonal relationships.
Originally developed for borderline personality disorder (BPD), it’s now widely used to support those with:
Emotional dysregulation
Depression and anxiety
Eating disorders
PTSD and trauma
Chronic feelings of emptiness or worthlessness
Self-harm or suicidal thoughts
