'Therapeutic care & Personal Development - The solution to your problems is in you'

BoatBi-Polar and Mood Disorder management in Edinburgh
If you have a diagnosis already
It is often possible to learn to manage your condition better. This is not a cure or treatment, but it does offer you the chance to live more happily and in a more stable way. A range of different therapies are possible, and these should be chosen according to the individual case. They do however include CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/ Coaching), relaxation therapy, counselling skills, life coaching, psychological therapy, analysis, Japanese Traditional Therapy, nutritional therapy, exercise programmes.

You must remain in the care of your GP or medical specialist (or CMHT). This is not a substitute for the care and medication you are already receiving.



If you do not have a diagnosis

You are welcome to attend a case history and case assessment session. We however are not able to provide a diagnosis. We are often able to assist you in identifying issues that you may not have realised as important. These can then be listed and presented to your medical doctor. One of the first stages of identifying possible mood disorders is to create an "early warning system", which in simple terms means monitoring and recording mood changes. This can then be very helpful in gathering evidence for your medical doctor and any specialist you are referred to. We also use the CORE assessment forms that are pretty much standard in NHS use, and thus information can be quite useful for presentation to your GP. Most specialists are very happy for their clients to remain also seeing us for support since we work alongside them and never seek to replace or supplant them.

If you are suffering from severe depression or mania, or feel any urges to harm yourself or others, you should seek an urgent appointment with your GP without delay. We may still be able to assist you, but we will need you to seek medical advice first.


As well as being qualified and registered in a number of appropriate therapy styles usable in the management of Bipolar, Stuart has also completed the "Bipolar disorder: management in primary care - in association with NICE" and "Bipolar disorder: management in secondary care - in association with NICE"  Continuous Professional Development modules and "Using cognitive behavioural therapy techniques in general practice" module with BMJ Learning.


We are involved with research and making a difference. We have already given feedback for clients in one Scottish centre. 
 



If you are suffering from any type of depression, or mood swings, counselling, psychotherapy and CBT may be extremely useful in managing your condition. Please note however that these are only appropriate in addition to medical supervision, and you must stay in contact with your medical doctor.
