Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT)
Understand Yourself and Your Relationships More Deeply
Sometimes, difficulties in relationships or emotions come from challenges in understanding our own thoughts and feelings — or those of others. Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) is designed to help you improve this awareness, so you can respond more calmly and effectively to life’s challenges.
What Is Mentalization?
Mentalization is the ability to recognise and make sense of your own thoughts and feelings, and to understand what might be going on in the minds of others. When this is difficult, it can lead to misunderstandings, conflict, or impulsive behaviour.
MBT helps you strengthen this skill, supporting you to:
- Manage strong emotions and impulses
- Improve communication in relationships
- Reduce conflict and misunderstandings
- Build resilience and self-awareness
Who Is MBT For?
- Experience intense or quickly changing emotions
- Struggle with trust or closeness in relationships
- Often feel misunderstood by others
- Have difficulties managing anger or conflict
- Want to better understand your reactions and patterns
MBT is often used in cases of relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or personality-related challenges, but it can benefit anyone who wants to improve emotional and relational wellbeing.
