Depression can feel overwhelming and debilitating. I am here to support you in learning to manage overwhelming feelings and bring hope back into your life.
Getting you back to good…
In everyday life, we all suffer from anxieties or concerns that may limit our happiness. Therapy involves coming to terms, and understanding reasons you may be unhappy or struggling with things. You deserve to live the life you want, to feel good.

I am usually able to draw long term sufferers 'out of depression' within 2 weeks to three months on average. There are no guarantees but my results speak from themselves.
Depression can be something we're familiar with or can take us by surprise due to loss of a job, partner, loved one or animal. Either way it can be debilitating and traumatic as an experience. I offer a safe space to explore how depression has impacted you and then how you can find a way forward.
I offer a compassionate space to explore the complexities of this emotional state. Using a Psychosynthesis approach, we examine the emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual dimensions that underlie depressive symptoms. This holistic viewpoint allows for a nuanced understanding of depression, including how it may interact with other facets of your life such as relationships or work. The goal of our sessions will be to help you gain deeper self-insight and practical coping skills, allowing you to navigate through life's ups and downs with greater emotional resilience. In this way, our work together aims to bring about a meaningful shift towards a more balanced state of well-being.

The father of all psychotherapeutic intervention, Sigmund Freud, made a clear distinction between 'neurotic anxiety' (depression) and normal human unhappiness. Depression is not normal human unhappiness: it is the mind turning upon itself and undermining the possibility of fulfilled existence. There are different approaches to treating depression. My path in therapy is to harness the power of the mind to enable it to heal itself.
Helplessness, hopelessness, low energy and no motivation can be ways our nervous system can deal with overwhelm from the past or present. These can be part of a protective, learnt state- wanting to do nothing, to seemingly switch off or go dark. Working with depression in therapy, we don't just talk about what's going but learn how you come 'back to life' at your own pace.

Feelings of low mood and depression can strongly impact the way a person feels about themselves, the people around them and the world in general. Like anxiety, depression can be extremely debilitating. I specialise in treating these experiences by first attempting to make sense of where the distressing feelings come from.
All of our Clinical Psychologists at ComposurePsychology are very experienced in helping people understand, manage and overcome low mood, overwhelm, a sense of being stuck and depression. We draw from evidence based therapies including; CBT, ACT, CFT, SFT, DBT, EMDR, systemic, narrative, psychodynamic and others.
