Bipolar
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Bipolar disorder can have a profound effect on your emotions, relationships, self-esteem, identity, and sense of stability. The shifts between depression, elevated mood, impulsivity, anxiety, irritability, or emotional intensity can be exhausting, frightening, and difficult to manage. My approach is warm, supportive, and non-judgemental. It is less about labels and diagnoses, and more about understanding your inner world: your emotions, patterns, needs, relationships, fears, strengths, and life experiences. Together, we can make your patterns clearer, recognise early signs of change, and help life feel more manageable and stable. I know that receiving a diagnosis can sometimes be both validating and overwhelming. It can explain a lot, but it should never define you. What matters most is helping you understand yourself more deeply, feel more in control, and avoid identifying with labels in ways that leave you feeling trapped or hopeless.

Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
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.

Bipolar
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Bipolar can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how bipolar feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Bipolar
Dr. Amanda Roberts
Psychologist, PhD Clinical Psychology, Masters in Marriage Family Therapy
Work with bipolar disorder requires a solid knowledge of the biological basis of this spectrum condition and the nuances involved with a cycling mood disorder. Dr Roberts affirms the conviction that bipolarity can become an asset rather than a liability; indeed a prerequisite for excellence when channelled correctly. She will work closely with your psychiatric prescriber for a coordinated integrated care plan.

21 Years Experience
Online in Bristol, ENG England
Bristol has a strong progressive and creative culture, and its therapy community reflects this — with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, eco-anxiety, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city has a significant student population across the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol, and therapists addressing academic pressure and young adult transitions are well represented. Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust provides public mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Clifton, Cotham, and Stokes Croft. Bristol's history of race-related civic tensions — including the 2020 removal of the Colston statue — has made racial identity and community healing ongoing themes in the city's therapy culture.
