Therapy for BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)

Borderline personality disorder, or BPD, is often spoken about harshly. Behind the label there is usually intense emotional pain, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and a nervous system that can move from calm to crisis very quickly.

Moffat offers counselling that focuses on understanding triggers, building steadier responses, and reducing shame. If you need diagnosis, medication, or specialist DBT, those should come from qualified services trained for that level of care.

How this can show up

• Strong fear of being left, rejected, or replaced
• Sudden shifts between closeness and anger in relationships
• Feeling empty, ashamed, or unsure who you are
• Impulsive choices when emotions are high
• Self-harm urges or thoughts of not wanting to be alive

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Sessions can help you slow down the moment between feeling and reacting. Moffat can work with you on boundaries, repair after conflict, naming needs, and understanding the old pain underneath present-day intensity.

Starting sessions

If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, seek urgent help first. Counselling can then support the longer work of stability, trust, and self-understanding.
