Being able to talk about our experiences and allow our feelings to surface is a first step toward unlocking ourselves from the weight of depression. The therapeutic approaches I draw on to support your shift out of a state of depression to a happier, more hopeful perspective will depend on your unique circumstances. f safety and trust feel confident to start sharing your experience with me, knowing that you are seen and understood. Often we have not had a place to share our struggles where we felt heard and accepted. Even the small shift in perspective that can be the result is enough to begin change.

Depression can be experienced in a magnitude of ways and is often experienced differently by each individual. Symptoms may range from feeling increasingly irritable, experiencing a sense of emptiness and hopelessness, and an individual often will feel completely overwhelmed, losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. Depression may also be experienced physically. Physical symptoms may include, but are not limited to a lack of energy, problems sleeping, pronounced weight changes, and eventually, even serious illness. In cases of mild to moderate depression, there is an increasing amount of research supporting counselling as effective as medication in improving a person’s mood. Many clients have been referred to counselling by their family doctor when...(view profile to read more)

Different therapeutic modalities can be used to examine thought patterns and your ability to emotionally regulate; an open dialogue can help explore alternative beliefs and perspectives that may serve you better. A closer examination of how your thoughts, feelings and actions are impacting your overall wellbeing can help create a treatment approach that may include coping skills and lifestyle adjustments, while building capacity to sit with negative emotions and move through challenging times.

Therapy is a place for all matters of the heart, body and soul. Depression can range from mild to completely disabling, and the root causes varied and individual. While medical support can be helpful, therapy can help us get to the root of what we are emotionally 'depressing'. I believe in the mind/body connection which includes both, helping a client to access practical tools for coping day to day as well as exploring the deeper emotions stored in the body that might be contributing to the depression. From a deeply compassionate and client centred approach within the therapeutic connection the client feels less alone offering them hope as they navigate their depression.

Depression is real and it can range from feeling a little sad to being seriously clinically depressed. It has been my experience as a counsellor to find that many people are sad and label themselves as "depressed" when actually they are unhappy with their lives for all kinds of reasons. The biggest benifit for many of my clients is discovering that they begin to feel alot better as they work through their feeligs about what makes them sad. And often ,as not ,this process does not take that long.

Depression may be the result of difficulties you have been struggling with for years, or due to a sudden shock. When we feel helpless to manage our struggles, that is depressing indeed! Symptoms of depression, such as sleeplessness, eating difficulties, lack of energy etc. only make the situation worse. There are always reasons why our bodies and emotions react the way they do. We may fear that there is no way to feel better but in over 30 years, I have never found that to be true. Every life is unique and we need to find out what is holding you back. This is not something you can handle alone but in a safe, private space we can explore and change the conditions that keep you depressed.

Depression is simply anger turned inward. My treatment focuses on helping to reveal the hidden reasons for your anger and taking the drive for it out at the very source. I use EMDR and OEI to bring out past injuries and injustices you may have been quietly holding onto for years. When you are able to release this emotional pain, you will be more able to rid yourself of self-directed anger leading to depression.

Is getting out of bed becoming to be the hardest accomplishment of your day? Do you feel irritated and or unsociable? Are you unproductive in your relationships or at work? How about eating...are you eating too much or too little? Do you just not care anymore? What if I told you that you don't have to feel this way? What if I told you that your life could be turned around quickly, and often painlessly. Lets work on it together, piece by piece - you don't have to do this alone. Depression is often caused by thoughts you have that you have learned to listen to, and have come overtime to believe. Lets take a look at those thoughts together, and see if we can't gain a new prospective!

Feelings of depression can originate from many different sources, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. By offering a setting that is based on trust, empathy, and collaboration, counselling can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions while creating a deeper, more authentic understanding of who you are, what you need, and the dynamics that you are navigating. It is possible to thrive and be well no matter what you have been through, and counselling can help with this.

Through the process of exploring the possible causes of their feelings of depression, it is my hope that clients will discover that they do have the capability of addressing these issues. Clients will learn that they do have choices in how they view specific situations, and that they have choices in how they respond to challenges in their lives. Clients will benefit from learning communication skills that will encourage them to more effectively express needs and feelings to significant people in their lives. Moreover, it is my hope that as clients come to greater self-awareness, they will develop a kinder and more gentle acceptance of Self.

Modern populations are increasingly overfed, malnourished, sedentary, sunlight-deficient, sleep-deprived, and socially-isolated. Research is showing that depressed people who put time and energy into activities that will help them recover have a higher recovery rate. Things that can help improve mood and feelings are: physical exercise, diet, managing our thoughts and feelings, self-care, social contact, improving our body 'clock' and mindfulness. None of them work like a magic cure, but when used regularly and in combination, they will help you feel much better. Everyone's mood fluctuates, so even if you put these things into practice, you will still have bad days. Be patient, it takes time
