ABOUT
Step Into Yourself is an online therapy service
specialising in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
and was founded in 2021 by Raquel Ortega. This
service was established shortly after the only
existing public DBT service in West London was
decommissioned. As a staff member of this
previous clinic, Raquel was deeply aware of the
desperate need for this therapeutic modality in
the region. With the availability of long-term
mental health services declining, individuals
face waiting over two years to access NHS
services. Step Into Yourselfs goal is to
mitigate this problem. We are proud to say we
dont have any waiting list (for now!) and that
individuals can start therapy within 24 hours of
their initial consultation. Unlike other
services, we do not cap how many sessions an
individual may have. We endeavour to continue
sharing DBT skills to help people live a life
worth living!

  specific emotional, mental and behavioural
  patterns in order to discover how to anticipate
  them and cope more effectively.

  with your life.
• Work collaboratively with your therapist to
  eliminate any barriers to your participation and
  motivation in therapy, to ensure successful
