Compassionate, Evidence-Based Support at Health Triangle
Personality disorders can affect how a person thinks, feels, and relates to others—often causing significant distress in relationships, work, and daily functioning. At Health Triangle, we offer understanding, skilled care for individuals living with personality disorders, helping them work toward stability, self-awareness, and healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Understanding Personality Disorders
A personality disorder is a long-standing pattern of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that deviate from cultural expectations, leading to difficulties in interpersonal relationships and self-image. These patterns often begin in adolescence or early adulthood and can affect many areas of life.
There are several different types of personality disorders, including:
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
- Avoidant Personality Disorder
- Narcissistic Personality Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD)
- Paranoid, Schizoid, or Schizotypal Personality Disorders
- Antisocial or Histrionic Personality Disorders
Each type presents uniquely, and therapy is always tailored to the individual’s needs, strengths, and goals.
How Health Triangle Psychologists Can Help
At Health Triangle, we recognise that personality disorders are often linked with complex life experiences, including trauma, emotional neglect, or difficult attachment patterns. Our psychologists offer a safe, non-judgemental space where individuals can build trust, explore their inner world, and learn tools to manage intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Our treatment approach is:
Evidence-Based and Compassionate
We draw on a range of proven therapies for personality disorders, including:
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Especially effective for Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
- Schema Therapy: Helps individuals identify and shift long-standing negative patterns developed in early life, often rooted in unmet emotional needs.
- Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT): Supports individuals in better understanding their own and others’ mental states, improving emotional insight and relational functioning.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Assists with managing problematic thoughts and behaviours, especially for those with avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, or paranoid traits.
Personalised Care Plans
No two individuals are the same—and neither are their journeys with a personality disorder. Our team collaborates closely with each client to build a tailored therapy plan that reflects their unique personality structure, emotional needs, and life goals. This may also include support for co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma.
Relational and Interpersonal Focus
Because personality disorders often impact relationships, therapy at Health Triangle also focuses on helping individuals:
- Improve communication and conflict resolution
- Build and maintain healthier relationships
- Strengthen a stable sense of identity and self-worth
- Manage fears of abandonment or rejection
- Reduce impulsivity or emotional reactivity
Skill-Building for Everyday Life
Therapy at Health Triangle is not just about insight—it’s about developing real-world skills that clients can apply in daily life. Our psychologists support clients in managing difficult emotions, recognising unhelpful patterns, and practicing self-compassion and resilience.
When to Seek Help
You may benefit from therapy for a personality disorder if you or someone you care about is experiencing:
- Ongoing difficulties with relationships
- Intense, unstable emotions or mood swings
- A chronic sense of emptiness or identity confusion
- Fear of abandonment or intense anger
- Impulsive or self-destructive behaviours
- Patterns of distrust or emotional detachment
