ENDURING & COMPLEX MENTAL HEALTH

Recovery is not always cut and dry, and sometimes things cannot be fixed, but learning ways to gain better management of the disorder can help you to feel better or more in control and make the bad days or dark times less overwhelming. Picking Up The Pieces is committed to staying with you through the ups and downs. We have extensive experience working with people living with severe, persistent, or complex mental health issues and diagnoses. 

We provide compassionate and effective support for those with long-term, complex diagnoses and presentations.

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Bipolar Affective Disorder
• Co-occurring mental health & physical health conditions
• Disassociative Disorders
• Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorders (EUPD/BPD)
• Multiple overlapping conditions, i.e., trauma, anxiety, and neurodivergence
• Other severe or long-term mental health presentations 
• Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs)

• We provide a safe and supportive environment without judgment.
• We work with you to look beyond the clinical & medical label and diagnosis to understand your experience & needs. 
• We identify and build on the strengths and resources you already have. And can help you to make sense of your experiences, which can reduce confusion, fear, or self-judgement. 
• We can help you to develop new skills, practical ways to manage symptoms, navigate difficult emotions, and gain better ways to respond to your feelings rather than reacting automatically. 
• We can help you to set meaningful goals, ways to improve self-management, daily functioning or relationships so you feel more in control.

We at Picking Up The Pieces do not define you by your diagnosis. Instead, we take a strength-based approach: we see the whole person, recognise your resilience, and build our work around what matters to you and what can help you lead a meaningful life.
