Bipolar disorder is a condition and that has the ability to destroy relationships, career and financial security. Even when controlled with medication it is helpful to address some of the issues that have arisen from the disorder itself. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
For those with BPD, who often struggle with intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a fragmented sense of self, Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) provides a safe and supportive environment to explore these experiences. My job is to establish a holding field which fosters relational presence, mindfulness based approaches and body awareness, thereby helping individuals to develop greater emotional regulation, reduce impulsivity, and build a more coherent sense of self. The therapeutic relationship in CPP is also crucial, as it provides a steadfast and compassionate presence that can help individuals with BPD develop trust and experience corrective emotional experiences that facilitate healing and growth.
