Personality Disorder Counselling/Therapy

What Is a Personality Disorder?

A personality disorder is a persistent, maladaptive pattern of thoughts, feelings, and ways of interacting with others. There are different types, including borderline, narcissistic, avoidant, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders, each with unique traits but all impacting relationships, emotions, and self-perception.

These patterns can lead to intense emotions, difficulty trusting others, and struggles with identity or impulse control. Therapy provides structure, coping strategies, and a deeper understanding of behaviors, allowing you or a loved one to build healthier relationships and navigate life with more stability.

What Can You Gain From Personality Disorder Therapy?

The outcomes of personality disorder therapy in terms of skills can depend on the challenges you face. You might need help managing emotions, or maybe you want to work on self-image and impulsive behaviors. We provide tools tailored to your needs, helping you find stability where it’s needed.

One of the most common struggles is handling overwhelming emotions. We help you recognize triggers, develop healthier responses, and regain control in moments of distress.

We can also work on:

• Setting and maintaining personal boundaries
• Managing feelings of emptiness or detachment
• Reducing black-and-white thinking patterns
• Strengthening problem-solving abilities
• Developing patience and frustration tolerance

Can a Therapist Help With Anxiety Linked to Personality Disorders?

Anxiety is quite common in personality disorders, so if you’re struggling with it, you’re not alone. It can show up as chronic worry, fear of rejection, or overwhelming social discomfort, often stemming from unstable relationships, difficulty trusting others, or intense self-doubt.

We can guide you through healthier ways to respond to anxious thoughts and feelings. This starts with understanding where these feelings come from and then addressing core beliefs and patterns. You can feel more in control when you challenge unhelpful thoughts and practice new coping strategies.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, we can center sessions around:

• Breaking the cycle of intrusive thoughts
• Handling uncertainty without feeling overwhelmed
• Recognizing and reducing avoidance behaviors
• Easing social anxiety and fear of judgment
