Depression itself can be quite pervasive and hard to shift. Through working through your problems gently, with either gentle counselling, or ongoing psychotherapy, most depressive symptoms can shift. I've found great change can happen through the power of listening to your concerns and working through new ways of being with the gentle hand holding of counselling or psychotherapy.
Suffering from depression can be incredibly debilitating and isolating. I help the client understand the root cause of their depression and then develop tools and approaches to start living in meaningful and valued ways now.
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.
