Dr Ella Brent

Clinical Psychologist

“I offer supervision and training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) at The Day Clinic. I do not offer individual therapy.”

About Me

I offer dedicated supervision and training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) at The Day Clinic. My work supports fellow professionals to effectively integrate DBT into their practice. We explore practical application, building confidence in delivering this evidence-based approach. This focused support ensures supervisees can confidently apply DBT skills with their own clients. My specialism means I do not offer individual therapy.

Approach

My work with clinicians focuses on translating DBT principles into practical steps they can use immediately. Sessions in English, held in Johannesburg, combine concise case review, live skills coaching and collaborative problem-solving to strengthen delivery and clinical decision-making. Between meetings I set targeted learning tasks, provide focused feedback and model session structure for behaviour and mood difficulties. This paced, pragmatic approach tends to suit clinicians and teams seeking confident, evidence-aligned application of DBT.
