Depression is often the symptom, not the core problem. That means one of our skilled therapists will help you to delve into the factors that have contributed to yo urdepression and work on these underlying issues. Then you find that the treatment works quicker and there is less chance of relapse. We know that cognitive and behavioural interventions (CBT) are often very effective but we also have therapists skilled in acceptance and commitent therapy (ACT), family systems and schema therapy.
Depression is multifaceted and can include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a disinterest in activities once enjoyed. It can manifest physically through changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and fatigue, impacting daily functioning and relationships.
I offer a non-judgemental space to navigate difficult emotions and situations and bring empathy and understanding to the complexities in life that depression can arise from. I acknowledge the uniqueness of each person's journey and provide compassionate, holistic care that empowers individuals to overcome obstacles and get to the root cause of their depression.
Pain is inevitable in life, but suffering is often optional. Asking for help is the first step in managing low moods. There are so many science-based strategies to help to recover from depression.

What a person means by 'depression', and what underlies whatever that experience is, is hugely individual and personal. While the challenge and way forward will be different for each individual, I tend to find that what we call depression is more often than not our internal compass - or to be more poetic, our soul - trying to get our attention to alert us that something is wrong and a changeof course is needed. For that reason, I believe the pain and suffering involved in depression can play a meaningful role and carry with them the seeds of a deeper, richer and more satisfying life, if we are willing to attend to them.
