Dr Grenville Major

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.

James Darby
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
For those with BPD, who often struggle with intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a fragmented sense of self, Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) provides a safe and supportive environment to explore these experiences. My job is to establish a holding field which fosters relational presence, mindfulness based approaches and body awareness, thereby helping individuals to develop greater emotional regulation, reduce impulsivity, and build a more coherent sense of self. The therapeutic relationship in CPP is also crucial, as it provides a steadfast and compassionate presence that can help individuals with BPD develop trust and experience corrective emotional experiences that facilitate healing and growth.

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.

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.

Swansea is Wales's second city and a coastal university town — home to Swansea University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David — generating significant student mental health demand and academic training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. The city has a distinct Welsh identity, and a meaningful number of residents prefer Welsh-language therapy, particularly for emotionally complex work best expressed in their first language. Swansea Bay University Health Board provides NHS mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Sketty, Uplands, and the Marina. Swansea's post-industrial character — shaped by the decline of its copper smelting and coal industries — means therapists frequently work with intergenerational economic stress and community resilience themes.
