I have worked as a psychologist in a variety of clinical settings dealing with occupational, clinical and forensic issues. In these settings I have provided individual and group therapy, crisis intervention and psychological assessment services.
I work with your depression to understand why it's there and how you're feeling about yourself in your life. I find depression is often linked with having a strong critical voice which doesn't truly help us. We can work together to create a more compassionate and encouraging voice towards yourself that drives you more to live the life that you want.

Do you find it nearly impossible to get out of bed? Or if you can get out of bed do you drag yourself to work? Do you put off any chores possible to postpone? Do you hide away as much as you can, taking refuge in escapist behaviours such as sleeping too much/ drinking too much/social media etc? Depression is a debilitating lack of energy and hope. Coming to find me is a fantastic first step out of the shut-down shut-off spaces you have got stuck in. You can do it!
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.
