What Depression Looks Like
How Depression Counselling Helps
​
Common signs and symptoms of depression:
​
-
Persistent low mood, sadness, or emotional heaviness that doesn’t improve
-
Feeling numb, disconnected, or “shut down” emotionally
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies, relationships, or daily activities
-
Low energy, chronic fatigue, or feeling physically drained
-
Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or staying motivated
-
Changes in sleep patterns, including insomnia or sleeping too much
-
Shifts in appetite or weight related to emotional distress
-
Feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, or being “stuck”
-
Increased irritability, frustration, or emotional sensitivity
-
Withdrawing from social interactions, work, or usual routines
These symptoms can vary from person to person, but noticing and recognizing them is an important step toward seeking support through professional depression counselling.
Depression counselling provides a guided, supportive space to understand your symptoms, explore underlying causes, and develop practical strategies for relief.
Through evidence-based approaches, counselling sessions can help you make sense of your emotions and nervous system, build effective coping skills, and reconnect with what matters to you. Many people find that talking with a trained counsellor helps reduce feelings of isolation, increases clarity, and creates a clear path toward meaningful change.
With the right support, it is possible to feel lighter, less isolated and ashamed, and more in control of your feelings. You can feel better, you don't need to do it all alone.
How I Treat Depression
1. Polyvagal Regulation
I help clients understand and work with their nervous system using polyvagal-informed techniques. This approach supports emotional safety, reduces overwhelm, and helps you move out of shutdown or chronic stress states, creating the foundation for healing.
​
2. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy to help you notice unhelpful thought patterns, reduce rumination, and respond to difficult emotions with greater clarity and compassion.
​
3. Body-Based Techniques
Because depression often affects the body as much as the mind, I integrate gentle, supportive body-based methods—such as grounding, breathwork, and somatic awareness—to help release stored tension, increase awareness, and rebuild a sense of presence and connection.
​
4. Emotion-Focused Exploration
Together, we identify and process underlying emotions that may fuel your symptoms, helping you better understand your inner world and move toward more balanced emotional wellbeing.
​
5. Personalised Coping Strategies
I work collaboratively with you to develop practical, realistic tools you can use day-to-day—supporting mood regulation, resilience, and long-term emotional health.
