Counselling for Depression
A Safe Space to Talk, Heal, and Grow
Understanding Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a persistent feeling of emptiness, hopelessness, or a loss of interest in the things you once enjoyed.
Everyone’s experience is different, but common symptoms can include:
– Constant feelings of sadness, numbness, or low mood
– Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
– Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
– Loss of energy or motivation
– Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or self-doubt
– Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities
– Thoughts of self-harm or hopelessness about the future
If any of these resonate with you, know that you’re not alone. Support is available.
Counselling for Depression
Depression can feel overwhelming, isolating, and difficult to manage on your own. Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, understand the root causes of your depression, and begin the journey toward healing.
How counselling can help with depression:
Gain deeper self-understanding – Explore the underlying causes of your depression, including past experiences, relationships, and thought patterns.
Express your feelings safely – Talk openly without judgment in a supportive, confidential environment.
Break negative thinking cycles – Learn how to challenge and reframe unhelpful thoughts that contribute to low mood.
Develop coping strategies – Build practical tools to manage daily struggles, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Feel less alone – Working with a therapist can reduce feelings of isolation and help you feel supported.
Set achievable goals – Take small, manageable steps toward change and build motivation over time.
Every person’s experience of depression is unique, and counselling is tailored to your individual needs and pace. You don’t have to face it alone.
