Depression is one of the most common mental health difficulties people experience nowadays. Having worked therapeutically with people for over 14 years, I have come to witness how there could be various causes, as well as manifestations of depression.
I offer a psychotherapeutic space where we can start thinking about your personal experiences, in order to make better sense of why you have come to a point of feeling depressed and what is preventing you from moving forward.

Since the pandemic (COVID-19) depression and mental illness have been on the rise and are now being described as the next pandemic. Depression can often be described as ‘being in a dark pit’. It affects every area of your life; work, family, and your future. Getting help is the key to change. So, if you are not sleeping or eating, feeling suicidal, or experiencing low energy, these are some of the signs that you may be depressed. Get in touch if you would like to climb out of that pit, I am here to help you find your way out. You will learn about the origins of your depression and develop new behaviours to effect change and enjoy a new life.
Therapy can help you to work with your feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and internal or external conflict. It gives you the opportunity to reflect on what is happening within your life and yourself; reduce confusion; consider alternative ways of doing things, make positive changes and to move forward into the life you want.

I offer compassionate support and evidence-based interventions to help individuals overcome the debilitating effects of depression and reclaim their joy and vitality. With a deep understanding of the multifaceted nature of depression, I provide a safe and empathetic space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Leveraging my expertise and years of experience, I empower clients to develop effective coping strategies, challenge negative patterns, and embark on a journey towards healing and renewed hope.
In dealing with depression, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of depression. When you are depressed, you have no energy to do anything, but the only way to deal with depression is to try to stay active. Not just active, but also relaxed. We will start slowly, step by step increasing your activity, improving your motivation and identifying automatic negative thoughts.
