What is DBT?

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) combines teaching skills in a group setting with individual therapy. It draws on the best of eastern traditions (mindfulness and acceptance) and western behavioural therapies (changing emotions and behaviours for a better life).

Healthy Relationships Now is a combination of the Mindfulness and Interpersonal Effectiveness modules of DBT.

Why Navigator Counselling and Coaching?

Our counsellors are university-qualified, DBT-trained, experienced group and individual therapists. We are passionate about working with people experiencing interpersonal and emotional difficulties and we are actively involved in initiatives to dispel the myths and stigma surrounding people who may have been given the diagnosis of a “personality disorder”.

What People Are Saying

“Learning and beginning to consciously use DBT skills is completely DOABLE, and in a group, there is a camaraderie where you lean on each other and learn with one another. And Jennie leads us to make the magic happen! 

I wholeheartedly commend Jennie because she has a full, competent grasp of DBT and how it helps improve emotion dysregulation, plus, she has a real commitment to supporting people to embrace and accept our lives while at the same time learning to do our very best in making our relationships feel better. 

You’ll take away step by step ‘keys’ to practice at home and work, and especially with loved ones.  Be prepared to do your homework, because DBT and Jennie are transformative! ”

— Eloise L, group participant

“Jennie is an extremely skilled therapist. Anyone who is fortunate enough to engage in DBT training and counselling with her will benefit greatly from her insight, empathy, and guidance.

“My life has improved and my happiness enhanced due to her wisdom and intuitive ability to bring light to the crux of many of my difficulties. Jennie, thank you for the awakenings you have helped to create in me!”

— Sabrina M, group participant

“As my counsellor Jennie has been a true comfort and blessing to my mental health. Her knowledge of relationships and the effective tools that she has given me have guided me into clearer, healthier waters both mentally and emotionally. I’d seriously be divorced by now if it wasn’t for Jennie’s sound advice and understanding of my mental and emotional needs.”

— Emma L, client
