Psychologist, Registered Clinical Psychologists - Dr Peter Gibbons and Adri Hunt
Major depression and depressive episodes are frequently related to unresolved trauma, significant loss and complex grief, as well as difficulties with expressing anger, dealing with prolonged frustration, chronic pain or anxiety in an effective way. Therapy explore underlying experiences of a sense of failure and rejection. Unless an organic cause can be identified, both therapists deal with depression and anxiety as a negative psychological state that can be improved utilising cognitive behavioral and self explorative strategies

This therapeutic approach allows individuals to understand and navigate the different parts of their internal system that contribute towards depression. By doing so, individuals can recognise and address their underlying thoughts and beliefs leading to a more integrated and balanced sense of self. This, in turn, can help reduce depressive symptoms and improve emotional well-being.
