DBT Skills Certification

Insight rarely calms a person mid-crisis. Skills do. This certification takes you through all four DBT skills modules and shows you how to teach them so clients actually use them between sessions. The format is tight: you practise the skills yourself before you ever teach them to someone else.

What you'll be able to do
  • Run all four modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness
  • Teach skills in a way clients remember under stress
  • Use chain analysis to map a behaviour from trigger to consequence
  • Coach distress tolerance without reinforcing avoidance
  • Balance acceptance and change in the same conversation
  • Structure skills groups and homework that hold
  • Apply DBT principles to self-harm and emotional dysregulation responsibly
  • Know the limits of skills-only work and when to refer
Who it's for

Your questions, answered here

How long is the DBT course?

Fifteen live lectures, Tuesdays 7โ€“9 PM PKT, two hours each, about fifteen weeks total.

Is this full DBT or skills training?

This is the skills-training arm of DBT, taught for practical use. Full DBT programs add individual therapy, phone coaching, and a consultation team; we're honest about that line in class.

What is the free Lecture 1?

The opening lecture is free for everyone. Attend live, judge the teaching, then choose whether to enrol.

Do I need experience?

Helpful but not required. If you're starting out, message us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you whether to begin here.

What certificate do I get?

A PIMS certificate accredited by GIMP Malaysia as a skills-building qualification. See the note below on licensure.

Pricing and payment?

Sent by email as soon as you register interest, then handled on PIMS WhatsApp. Local and international payment both supported.

About the certificate. PIMS certificates are accredited by GIMP Malaysia as professional skills-building qualifications. They are not, by themselves, a government licence to practise. Whether a certificate is recognised for clinical work depends on the rules of your country or state. Confirm your local requirements before you see clients. We're glad to talk this through on WhatsApp before you enrol.

Seats are capped at ten for a reason.
