Depression Counselling in Amherst, NS.

When a person is depressed it is hard to believe that life can be any different. My work with clients who are suffering from depression begins from a place of compassion but also commitment to challenging the client to a different experience of life. Using methodologies from ACT therapy, I help the client acknowledge their thoughts and feelings that have often been long ignored. I help them let go of thoughts and feelings that are driving unhealthy behaviours and beliefs all while helping the client determine what is a life worth living. Moving in the direction of this life helps release the client from the grips of depression and open them up to life again.

Are you struggling to get out of bed, losing interest in once-loved activities or feeling helpless and hopeless? The lethargic and foggy shutdown of depression can make everything in life feel just a few inches out of reach. The good news is that depression is readily treatable. I would be glad to help you explore what is keeping your body stuck in numb disconnection. Next, we form a plan to help you back to your best self. Together we tackle here-and-now symptoms with strategies of mindfulness and CBT, while also untying old knots from the past with emotion-focused and inner-child work. The heaviness of depression is your body asking for care. Are you ready to answer its call?
