Bipolar Therapy

Psychotherapist providing psychotherapy & counselling in central London and Sussex for people suffering from Bipolar Disorder

 
 

My name is Simon Matthews. 


I practice the art of psychotherapy in London near Paddington, W2 and in Forest Row, East Sussex.  I specialise in working with and helping people with bipolar disorder, or what used to be referred to as manic depression. 


I work with adults who are excited by (or at the very least interested in) the prospect of change and who have not lost hope that their future can be different from their past.


I believe that whilst scientific research and medicine has made enormous progress in many areas and helped relieve the suffering of millions, this is not so true in the area of mental health and specifically not so in the treatment of bipolar disorder.  Why, with all our knowledge and having mapped the human genome, is this so?


Maybe there are some problems of living and adaptations to those problems that have always been with us and cannot be treated as mere ‘chemical imbalances’ in our brains.
