BPD
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Borderline personality disorder can affect emotions, relationships, self-esteem, identity, trust, and your sense of stability. You may experience intense emotions, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, anger, emptiness, or rapid shifts in how you feel about yourself and other people. My approach is warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental. I do not believe people should be reduced to a label. I am interested in understanding your inner world, your experiences, your relationships, and the patterns that may have developed in response to difficult life experiences or unmet emotional needs. Although diagnoses can sometimes feel validating because they explain experiences that have felt confusing or overwhelming, I think it is important not to identify too strongly with labels in ways that can feel limiting or self-defining. What matters most is understanding yourself more deeply and building a stronger, more stable sense of who you are.

Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
There is little evidence for medication being effect in this condition but psychotherapy on the other hand has been demonstrated to be helpful. 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.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Borderline Personality Disorder 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 BPD 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!

Dr. Claire Vines, Psy.D., Psychologist / Licensed /Psychotherapy / Psychoanalytic/
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Borderline personality Disorder will make it very difficult for an individual to interact with others on a daily basis due to that person feeling confused about themselves. The emotions can become extreme, such as in impulsivity, as well as, instability and intensity within one’s relationships.
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.
