It has been an isolating and particularly stressful era. If you struggle with low mood and depression, it has been an extremely isolating time. A first step to tackling depression is to reach out and talk. The advantage to remote therapy is that you simply have to open your device and start this process.
Depression can be defined as having a negative thought patterns. A combination of CBT and Narrative would be beneficial in identifying and exploring a clients relationship to depression and developing a healthier thought pattern. Art could help a client draw what their depression looks like and explore ways to diminish it.
For depression, I utilize a cognitive behavioural therapy approach. The focus is on one's thoughts, emotions and behaviours as they all influence and impact each other. By identifying the pattern, each can be challenged and adapted to in an effective way.
Depression presents in various forms and has many different features. When working with me, you will find that space is created to explore the experience of depression, its influence on different aspects of your life, and how you can work through these challenges as they arise. If you are hoping to find solace in your experience, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
