Bipolar Disorder Therapy at Inner Citadel

At Inner Citadel, we are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate psychotherapy for individuals living with bipolar disorder. This complex condition is characterised by significant mood fluctuations, including episodes of mania and depression, which can profoundly impact daily life. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges, offering tailored therapeutic interventions to support your journey toward stability and well-being.

Understanding Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These episodes can vary in intensity and duration, and their unpredictability often disrupts personal relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.

Effective management of bipolar disorder typically involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy. While medication can help regulate mood swings, psychotherapy plays a crucial role in providing strategies to manage symptoms, address underlying issues, and improve coping mechanisms.

Our Therapeutic Approach

At Inner Citadel, we employ evidence-based therapeutic modalities to address the unique needs of individuals with bipolar disorder. Our approach includes:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT is effective in improving depressive symptoms, reducing mania severity, and enhancing psychosocial functioning when combined with pharmacotherapy.

Psychoeducation: We provide education about bipolar disorder to help you understand your condition, recognise early signs of mood changes, and develop effective strategies to manage symptoms.

Relapse Prevention Planning: Our therapists work with you to identify triggers and develop personalised plans to prevent relapse, ensuring long-term stability.
