Depression Treatment

More and more people are struggling with feelings of depression. There is not one single reason for feeling depressed. It could be that changes in life have happened such as divorce, losing a job, or having a baby. Even a lack of sunshine can contribute (this is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder – SAD). Sometimes people who struggle with depression have not taken care of themselves and have ‘burnt out’ due to work and/or family commitments, and sometimes there may be no exact reason.
There is one thing that you can be sure of and that is ‘You’re not alone’.

 When people are going through depression
they can feel:

low in mood
very tearful
irritable or angry
loss interest in things previously enjoyed
feel tired
have less energy
loss of concentration
lack of confidence
no appetite
lack of sleep
no motivation

How can counselling help?
I work from an integrative humanistic stance whereby I would help you explore and discover the root cause of your depression so that you can learn more deeply about yourself and regain your self-confidence and so get your life back on track. Through our sessions I would also help you to understand your depression by utilizing tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which will help you manage your depression and help you to change your way of thinking and behaviour.
