Personality Disorders

Personality Disorder Consultation and Therapy at Life Care Counselling Centre focuses on understanding and treating long-standing patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that cause difficulties in relationships, work, or self-image. Personality disorders often develop gradually and can make it challenging for individuals to adapt to life’s situations or connect with others effectively. With proper diagnosis and guided therapy, individuals can achieve emotional stability, improved relationships, and a better quality of life.

Our psychiatrists and counsellors take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to help individuals recognize and manage unhelpful behaviour patterns, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies. Each treatment plan is personalized, ensuring that care is both supportive and goal-oriented.
