Depression Counselling in Dartmouth, NS.

Depression can be debilitating, make your life tough to function and enjoy life like you once did. Just getting through the day can be overwhelming. But no matter how hopeless you feel, you can get better. Getting help is the first step! I will help you learn about your depression from a narrative perspective, we will explore your depression and the ways it has affected your life. When you are ready we will explore the various coping skills that can help assist you to wellness.

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?

Depression is more than just "the blues" or feeling down. Depression impacts your physical health, relationships, work, living environment, and overall mental health. Through counselling, I can help you to explore and work through the underlying factors contributing to your depression, and help you to learn behavioural and cognitive coping strategies to help you manage symptoms.
