Depression Counselling
A confidential space when low mood, hopelessness or isolation are making life harder.
Persistent sadness or a loss of joy can affect wellbeing, everyday functioning and relationships. Depression can leave people feeling isolated, helpless or hopeless and make it difficult to imagine a way through.
What is Depression?
Low mood can be a response to difficult feelings, events or circumstances. When sadness becomes persistent or it becomes difficult to experience pleasure or hope, it may have a significant impact on daily life.
How might Depression Affect you?
Depression can affect home life, work, relationships, motivation and connection with others. It may contribute to feelings of isolation, helplessness and hopelessness.
When might Counselling be helpful?
Counselling may be worth considering when talking to friends or family feels difficult, or when low mood is affecting your ability to function, connect or find enjoyment in life.
How can Counselling help?
Counselling provides space to explore and reflect on painful thoughts and feelings. A trusting counselling relationship can help you gently examine beliefs, perspectives and experiences that may sit beneath them.
Taking care of yourself
Where possible, maintaining supportive connections and basic routines around sleep, food and movement can be helpful. If you are in crisis or at immediate risk, seek urgent professional support rather than relying on a counselling enquiry.
