Get 1-1 support
Our Peer Support Line is closed over the festive period. We'll return on Friday, 2 January 2026, and would welcome you getting in touch after this date. If you'd like peer support over the festive season, please join our Online Community to connect to our friendly online bipolar support forum.
Bipolar UK is here for everyone affected by bipolar. However, we do not offer crisis support. Here's what you can do if you – or someone you support – need urgent help.
How can the Peer Support Line help?
Every member of our friendly services team either lives with bipolar or has a loved one who lives with bipolar. We listen without judgement and work alongside you to find a path forward.
We can support you with:
- Practical tools for managing bipolar
- Advice on how to support someone living with bipolar
- Coping strategies to stay well
- Referrals to other useful support services
Who can call the Peer Support Line?
Our Peer Support Line is open to:
- Anyone over the age of 18
- Anyone affected by bipolar
- UK residents with a UK phone number
How Bipolar UK's Peer Support Line became a lifeline
I want to express thanks to the person I spoke to on your support line. They were brilliant – they listened, shared openly, and helped me feel ready to thrive with bipolar, rather than be defined by it
James
It was lovely to speak to your team. I really enjoyed our call. Your team was very empathetic and professional, and it helped me feel less alone.”
Olivia
I have been feeling very lonely and needed a bipolar connection, someone that understands the severe ups and downs that bipolar brings.”
Muhammed
Not sure if I thanked the person who called me enough today. Please pass on how grateful I was for their support and for Bipolar UK. Thank you.
