BPD
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 Paul Garden

I specialize in working with people with diagnoses of Personality Disorders - who have experiences of themselves struggling with conflict in relationships, feeling extremes of emotion which they find hard to tolerate, and find themselves in repeated patterns of struggle without understanding why.

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.

BPD
Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Borderline Personality Disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that typically describes a set of difficult, often disturbing experiences that a person has in relation to themselves and others. Difficulties coping with one's own emotions - often powerful and overwhelming; a lack of internal and external stability; destructive behaviours - these are some of the common problems that people who meet criteria for BPD often face.
In more recent years this condition has also been referred to as "complex post-traumatic stress disorder", thus acknowledging the wide range of life adversities faced by those considered to have BPD - for example early life abuse and neglect.
In my experience, and according to many clinical guidelines, individual therapy alone is often not sufficient to support people who have borderline personality disorder. Group interventions, alongside individual and multi-disciplinary support might be a recommended approach to treatment. One size does not fit all, however, and depending on individual presentation and circumstances, one-to-one psychotherapy might be an option to explore in some cases. If you think this might be the case for you, please get in touch so that we can explore this further together.

BPD
Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
I have worked with many people with BPD working with people with this diagnosis is a passion for me. I believe people living with BPD are often left untreated as there are very few professionals who have the capacity & desire to work within this speciality. That's why it is important to me that I provide this service.
