While it is common for people to experience mood swings from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) their mood shifts from periods of over-excitement and feeling like you're "on fire" (manic episodes) to periods of feeling severely depressed (depressive episodes).

During manic episodes, it's common to have a generally elevated mood, be highly active, experience higher self-esteem and need less sleep. This often alternates with depressive periods where you feel little joy in life, have problems sleeping, gain or lose weight and experience a loss of energy.

While this can be stressful and even debilitating, there is hope. Our therapy for bipolar is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown in research studies to help people with bipolar disorder, often used in conjunction with medication. You see, it is your thoughts that affect your perception of the world, and with bipolar disorder, your brain tends to process information in an inaccurate and distorted way. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to identify and challenge these distorted and negative thought patterns that cause your stress and even harmful behavior. By identifying the situations that trigger your manic and depressive episodes, you will be more aware of when a mood shift is about to happen. And, eventually, you will be able to control your emotions and stress. By discovering new coping and behavioral skills, you will be able to stick to a treatment plan and live a more stable lifestyle, which will reduce the risks of a relapse.

"Belinda is a really responsive therapist (even “out of hours”). I’ve only signed up for the worksheets and messaging service but I’ve got so much out of this so far. It’s obviously a very personal journey. I’ve been very active sometimes and then others less so - taking a step back to just take things in - Belinda reads this brilliantly. She is very supportive and reassuring."

"Thank you so much for this service. The worksheets really made me dig in and sort out some of the difficult emotions.
My therapist, Dana, was excellent and really challenged me to keep up the work to get over the hurdles.. the constant contact helped me to have a continuous healing conversation. The videos were very informative and I have a whole new toolbox to use moving forward.
I feel like a new person in just a few weeks and am moving forward with new insights for the next season of my life and many tools to use when issues arise in the future.
I’m very glad I made the choice to log in and start healing. Thank you so much..:)
Happy Camper"

"I feel like I've always wanted to get therapy but never quite jumped on it until something happened and I really thought it was time. It was probably the best decision I've taken. I really enjoy the professionnalism that is shown through this platform. I am very satisfied with the services provided by online therapy and the flexibility that is provided to you as well. If you were ever thinking of getting therapy and wasn't sure, do it. This is honestly a great platform to do so as well."
