My work focuses upon an holistic view of the individual and their history.

This leads on to an examination as to what needs to change at the level of body, mind, emotion and spirit.

Bi Polar Disorder, manic depression are specialist areas of mine, and I have many clients who have seen other therapists, and unfortunately without very much change to their disorder. I have worked over twenty six years researching and implementing my skills set to have faster, and higher rates of better understanding, and management of Bi Polar Disorder. Others who have contacted me have been appreciative of the help they received from me. You have to do your bit too ... so, call me and lets get this sorted once and for all.
Bipolar disorder can lead to significant distress for the person experiencing mania and depression and for those who love them. I am experienced working with people in both positions and aim to help you improve your mood symptoms, recognise early warning signs, safety plan, and work with the rest of your care team most effectively.
