Depression Counselling

Depression is a complex emotional and physiological condition that goes beyond common feelings of sadness or melancholy. It is a clinical mood disorder that significantly impacts how an individual feels, thinks, and handles daily activities, such as working, eating, or sleeping.

Recognising the signs of depression is crucial and includes symptoms such as persistent sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, significant weight loss or gain, insomnia or excessive sleeping, lethargy, feelings of worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. I focus on the deep roots of the problems or challenges that people have, ensuring that these signs are not just addressed on a surface level but understood and managed at their core to facilitate an effective and lasting recovery.

The Importance of Seeking Depression Help

Depression is a severe condition, but it is treatable. Many people hesitate to seek depression support due to stigma, misconceptions about mental health, or the belief that they can overcome their feelings alone.

Acknowledging the need for help is a solid first step towards overcoming depression. Early intervention can significantly increase the effectiveness of depression treatment and enhance the possibility of a full recovery. I encourage anyone experiencing signs of depression to seek professional help as soon as possible.

How Counselling Helps To Overcome Depression

I have a person-centred, evidence-based approach to depression treatment that adheres to International Standards. This method will allow you to explore the deep-seated emotional issues underlying your depression. Through this exploration, you can develop a profound understanding of your conditions and learn practical strategies to confront and manage your depressive symptoms.

Therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) have been effective in fighting depression. They help individuals change negative thought patterns and improve personal relationships, respectively.
