Supporting you with bipolar disorder at MAPP Psychology

Each of our psychologists is fully trained and qualified, bringing a wealth of experience to the table.

They will work with you to make practical real life changes that help you move into a happier, healthier place.

  • Bipolar, also known as manic depression, is a mood disorder that is characterised by severe shifts in an individual mood.

    In the most severe cases of bipolar, the changes between depression and euphoria can occur every few days.

    Like psychosis, bipolar can result in delusional behavioural patterns.

    Other symptoms of bipolar include anxiety, self-harm, and substance use to cope with the effects.

  • If you suffer from bipolar it can be difficult to communicate this to people.

    At MAPP Psychology we acknowledge how much of an issue this can be, and we have prioritised creating a safe and friendly environment that is accepting of all people.

    Whether you are new to therapy or have experience with psychological counselling, you can be assured of a support network with your interests in mind.

    Our team of professional psychologists will initially assess you to understand what treatment plan best fits your interests.

    The knowledge you build will allow you to adapt to the challenges you face in your life.

    We aim to provide all our patients with the essential tools to sustain better relationships with themselves and loved ones long after they have left therapy.

  • Therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help you take an action-oriented approach to the changes in your emotions.

    Other interventions like mindfulness can build resilience toward mood swings, meaning you can be more observant of the changes occurring.

    Taking the first step toward therapy is often the most challenging, and we are here to collaborate with you so that you can aim toward a better future.
