Therapy for Depression
Struggling with depression can feel like a constant uphill battle. You might find yourself questioning every choice, withdrawing from the people around you, or feeling like nothing will ever change. Depression can impact your relationships, career, and daily life, leaving you feeling stuck, isolated, and unsure where to turn.
Depression is more than feeling blue
When you think of depression, your first thought might be about feeling very sad or miserable. It can be that way but it may also be different.
Depression can also show up as: a loss of interest in the things we usually enjoy; sleeping a lot; or feeling completely numb.
You may not be able to put your finger on a reason for the way you feel. However, therapy gives you the space to understand more and make changes so you can feel better.
Small Changes have a Big Impact
Therapy for depression doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Sometimes, small steps can lead to big shifts in how you feel day to day. Whether it’s learning to manage negative thought patterns, setting simple goals, or practicing self-compassion, these small changes can help lift the weight of depression and create space for hope and healing.
In depression therapy, you’ll:
- Learn practical ways of managing feelings of sadness and overwhelm.
- Explore how past experiences have shaped your emotional patterns.
- Rebuild confidence and motivation, one small step at a time.
Depression can feel all-encompassing, but even small, intentional changes can make a big difference. Together, we’ll work to help you regain a sense of balance, energy, and connection to what matters most.
- I don’t just focus on your self-esteem, I take into account all of you – your emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and also your history, your hopes and dreams and your spirit. I see you as a human being, not just as a label or a diagnosis to be solved.
- I see us as being on an equal footing. I’ve spent a long time learning about people and relationships and what causes poor self esteem and what to do to relieve it – but you are the expert on you.
- I integrate different theories about psychological dis-ease and growth. This is a bit like me having a big toolbox and being able to draw on a mixture of different tools depending on who you are, what you’re struggling with and what works best for you.
