Depression is defined by pervasive low mood and loss of pleasure in the things you used to enjoy, or anything at all. It can affect energy, motivation, sleep, appetite, and even how you think about yourself. You may feel detached or like a heavy fog has descended that never seems to clear all the way. These experiences are not signs of weakness, they’re signals of pain that deserve care.
Therapy offers a space to unpack what’s beneath the heaviness. Our counsellors help you understand patterns of thought and emotion, rebuild self-compassion, and create small, sustainable shifts that support recovery.
Our counsellors will tailor sessions to your needs and goals. When working with depression we will often draw from models like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and strengths-based approaches. Together, we’ll work to restore meaning, resilience, and self-trust.
Early sessions focus on understanding your story and identifying supports that can help you feel more grounded and connected. Over time, we’ll focus on regaining energy and motivation, addressing unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnecting you with the things that give life purpose.
Depression can make it hard to reach out, but support can help you feel like yourself again.
In your first session, we’ll explore what’s been hardest for you and clarify what you’d like to change. Over time, you’ll build self-awareness and confidence using strategies that extend beyond the therapy room.
