Depression may be described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger that interfere with a person’s everyday activities.

Depression is very hard for clients to deal with as they don't often feel understood. We often hear how it is hard to get out of bed and that doing chores is next to impossible. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as narative therapy to help clients. We use a depression scale at our sessions so that we can monitor any changes and address those during our sessions. We believe in small steps and that there is hope for improvement and eventually a full life where the dark clouds lift and the sun comes shining through.

Sadness is a common emotion. However, when sadness lingers in our lives, is long term, and affects our day to day life, then it is something to be addressed. I help clients to take steps towards reducing depression through related actions. Alongside this, I work with clients to understand how the depression is controlling them and what strategies we might consider to reduce this control. For example, clients often find it helpful to engage with others, challenge their thinking, consider their past positive experiences, and consider changes to their environment to begin to feel more and more positive emotions and less depressed.

Depression can be very challenging but it can also be a doorway to a new understanding of the self. What ever the cause there are many strategies to address what can be a debilitating state. Recognizing that depression is actually the surface skin of our feeling experience, protecting us from our deeper feelings, but with support and compassion, uncovering its underside puts the whole experience in a new and promising light!
