Depression can be debilitating. I know I have been there. I also know there is a way out. If you are feeling continually down, having negative thoughts, losing focus, and feeling like joyous feelings are limiting, you may be experiencing depression. We look at where you are at and how to bring you back up to feeling more joy than sadness. It is possible.

Sometimes, we think of depression in social terms as the sadness and aloneness we feel that doesn't significantly interfere with our daily abilities to function. At other times, depression may dramatically limit the energy or interest we have to do anything. This may require the help of your physician to rule out the biological causes of medical problems that present as depression. In both examples, therapy is necessary to increase the possibility of a good outcome. When I've met folks suffering from all forms of depression, I've relied on my education, training and experience to provide counselling and therapy. Depression is difficult, but you don't need to be alone to manage it.

When one is depressed the range of thoughts and feelings encompass a wide spectrum. Sadness and despair might be pervasive. One can feel as if they have fallen into a deep dark pit where everything is covered in negativity and hopelessness. In this state, one can feel inadequate, discouraged, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In addition, guilt, shame, profound low self-esteem and loss of interest in relationships, sex, career and even life itself are commonly found. A variety of evidence-based tools, specific to the needs of the individual, applied skillfully at the right time, can dramatically lift one out of that deep, dark pit and help avoid relapse.

When it comes to depression, I believe that small change leads to bigger change. In my work with clients who experience feelings of depression, I take a more concrete, solution-focused approach and aid clients in taking small steps towards a greater goal, all while soliciting strengths and resources and moving at the client’s pace. In doing so, my hope is to help clients see how capable they are and transfer this knowledge into other domains of their lives. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Can we transform emotional pain into personal growth and find hope? I can help you become aware of how certain negative automatic thoughts, beliefs and expectations contribute to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Often these automatic negative thought patterns are developed as a result of a past painful and difficult experience. They determine how we deal with loss, change, conflict and social interactions. Supporting you in identifying and understanding these thought patterns, can help resolve problems in maintaining relationships and establish a stronger sense of self-worth. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

Hope Centered Counselling has a lot of experience working with Anxiety and Depression. We know that often holding space is all someone can handle on a bad day. The darkness sometimes just feels like too much. We know that asking our clients to make big changes in their life to get better just doesn’t cut it. Baby steps are necessary to start the journey to recovery together. We know its hard and some days there’s nothing in the tank, but we really do care about what you are going through and have the capacity to hold space for you through the journey until you turn a corner. You just don’t have to be alone anymore if you find the right therapist to share the walk with you. We care!

CBT therapy is used for depression. The name refers to therapy based upon a combination of basic behavioural and cognitive principles which are research based. Most therapists working with depression use a blend of cognitive and behavioural therapy. It focuses on behaviours that can be controlled through rational thought. It uses a number of goal oriented approaches and exercises.

Experiencing big emotional ups and downs is normal, but there can be times when it feels like the lows are getting longer, more frequent, and harder to deal with. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients to explore how feelings of depression show up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact they have on living the life you want to live.
