MBT Therapy

Our MBT (Mentalisation-Based Treatment) Service is designed for neurodivergent children, teens, adults, carers, and partners. This form of therapy provides a supportive, neuro-affirmative space to develop self-awareness, enhance emotional regulation, and improve relationships. Whether you experience communication challenges, struggle with emotional regulation, or seek a deeper understanding of yourself and others, MBT Therapy offers practical tools for personal growth and social connection.

What is MBT Therapy?

Mentalisation-Based Treatment (MBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on helping individuals understand their own thoughts, emotions, and the mental states of others. The ability to “mentalise,” or make sense of why we and others behave in certain ways, is central to building and maintaining healthy relationships. MBT Therapy helps individuals reflect on their emotions and those of others to reduce misunderstandings, emotional reactivity, and impulsive behaviours. This, in turn, leads to more stable relationships and improved emotional well-being.

Logistics

Our MBT Therapy sessions are group sessions and can be delivered remotely over Microsoft Teams. Please note that you will need a device with a strong Wi-Fi connection, and a working camera and microphone to participate in remote sessions.

Pre-requisites

A pre-requisite for MBT Therapy is the 6 Core MBT Psychological Education sessions. However, we also recommend that clients complete the 6 Advanced MBT Psychological Sessions too.

Prior to engaging in MBT Therapy, we require all clients to engage in one of our psychological assessments (Needs-Based Assessment, SCID, or Psychological Assessment). This is to ensure the clinician is able to have a sense of you, and your needs before working therapeutically with you, allowing them to tailor the MBT Therapy experience to your needs. As part of the Psychological Consultation, our clinicians will guide you towards the most appropriate psychological assessment for you.

Fees

The fee for MBT Therapy is £420 (6-Sessions) or £840 (12-Sessions). If you would like to see our full service price list, please refer to our Fees and Payment page.
