Therapy for Depression
What is depression and how I can help
Depression is more than feeling blue
When you think of depression, your first thought might be about feeling very sad or miserable. It can be that way but it may also be different.
Depression can also show up as: a loss of interest in the things we usually enjoy; sleeping a lot; or feeling completely numb.
You may not be able to put your finger on a reason for the way you feel. However, therapy gives you the space to understand more and make changes so you can feel better.
Small Changes have a big impact
You may not be able to put your finger on a reason for the way you feel. However, therapy gives you the space to understand more and make changes so you can feel better.
It might be that this is the first time you’ve felt this way or you might have struggled with depression on and off for a long time – either way, therapy can help.
- I don’t just focus on your self-esteem, I take into account all of you – your emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and also your history, your hopes and dreams and your spirit. I see you as a human being, not just as a label or a diagnosis to be solved.
- I see us as being on an equal footing. I’ve spent a long time learning about people and relationships and what causes poor self esteem and what to do to relieve it – but you are the expert on you.
- I integrate different theories about psychological dis-ease and growth. This is a bit like me having a big toolbox and being able to draw on a mixture of different tools depending on who you are, what you’re struggling with and what works best for you.
