Personalised BPD Therapy in Manchester

Expert support for your journey to understanding and managing Borderline Personality Disorder, with a compassionate and understanding approach

Welcome to Jodie James Counselling Services, where I am dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). As an experienced therapist in Manchester, I understand that each individual's experience with BPD is unique. That's why I tailor my therapeutic approach to suit your specific needs.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch and take the first step towards a happier, more fulfilled life. I look forward to working with you.

My Therapeutic Approach

I believe in the power of a personalised, client-centred approach to therapy. I understand that each individual's journey is unique, and I am committed to providing a tailored experience that respects your autonomy and expertise in your own life.

 

My therapeutic framework includes a Client-Centred Approach: I believe that you are the expert on your own life and experiences. My client-centred approach empowers you to take control of your healing process by providing guidance, support, and understanding. I blend this with Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  techniques to help you identify and change unhelpful patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that may be contributing to your BPD related symptoms.

Understanding BPD and Therapies

 

What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition characterised by difficulties in regulating emotions, unstable relationships, distorted self-image, and impulsive behaviour. BPD can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life. Common symptoms include:

  • Intense mood swings and emotional instability

  • Fear of abandonment and frantic efforts to avoid it

  • Unstable and intense interpersonal relationships

  • Impulsive and self-destructive behaviours

  • Chronic feelings of emptiness and loneliness

  • Difficulty controlling anger and irritability

  • Dissociative symptoms or feeling disconnected from reality

Therapeutic Framework for BPD Recovery

As an experienced therapist in BPD, I utilise various therapeutic frameworks to support your journey towards better understanding BPD. Each approach is tailored to your individual needs and preferences, ensuring you receive the most effective and compassionate care possible. Here are the primary therapeutic frameworks I incorporate in my practice:

 

Client-Centred Approach: This humanistic therapy places you at the centre of your recovery process, respecting your autonomy, individuality, and expertise on your own experiences. Together, we create a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can safely explore your emotions and experiences related to BPD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about BPD

 

How long does BPD therapy typically last?

The duration of BPD therapy varies depending on each individual's unique circumstances, progress, and therapeutic goals. While some people may benefit from short-term therapy, others may require more extended support. As your therapist, I will work closely with you to assess your needs and adjust the therapy duration accordingly, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care.

How can you help me with my BPD?

As an experienced therapist in BPD, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalised care to support your journey. By utilising a range of evidence-based therapeutic frameworks and tailoring the approach to your specific needs, I aim to help you better understand your condition and build resilience for lasting well-being.

Can BPD therapy be provided online or over the phone?

Yes, I offer various modes of interaction to accommodate your needs and preferences. In addition to face-to-face sessions, I provide therapy via Zoom/Video call, telephone, and walking therapy. This flexibility allows you to access the support you need in a manner that is most comfortable and convenient for you.

What if I am not comfortable discussing my experiences related to BPD?

Your comfort and safety are of utmost importance to me. As your therapist, I will never pressure you to disclose information that you are not ready to share. The therapeutic process is a collaborative effort, and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Our goal is to build trust and establish a safe space for you to explore your experiences and emotions when you feel ready.

 

Can you help family members or friends of someone with BPD?

Absolutely. Supporting a loved one with BPD can be challenging, and it is essential to care for your well-being as well. I can provide guidance and support to help you understand your loved one's experience and develop strategies for providing compassionate care while maintaining your own mental and emotional health.
