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 Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
Medical diagnostic terms such as 'Bipolar Disorder' are now used quite frequently in everyday conversation. I often work with people who have experiences of themselves as sometimes feeling very low and hopeless, and at other times feeling powerful and as if they can do anything. Managing these polar opposite moods can be exhausting and destructive.

Bipolar
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
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.

Cheltenham is a Gloucestershire spa town known for its Regency architecture, the Cheltenham Festival horse racing meeting, a major literary festival, and as the home of GCHQ—the British intelligence and signals agency that employs thousands of highly vetted specialists in the area. The presence of GCHQ creates a distinctive and largely invisible mental health dynamic, as intelligence professionals face security restrictions that limit what they can discuss in therapy, and the stress of classified work and high-security employment creates specific confidentiality considerations for practitioners. Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the relatively affluent Cheltenham population. Common therapy concerns include high-security employment stress and confidentiality challenges, anxiety and relationship difficulties in a professional community under significant institutional pressure, and the more general concerns of an affluent market town with a strong sense of its own identity.
