Finding Your Way Back to the Light:

Support for Depression

​​

If you are reading this, you are likely navigating a difficult, heavy season. Depression isn't just "feeling sad"—it's often a persistent, draining weight that makes even simple tasks feel impossible.

 

It can manifest as:

  • A lack of energy or motivation that stops you from engaging in activities you once enjoyed.

  • A critical inner voice that tells you that things won't get better, leading to feelings of hopelessness.

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions, making work or daily life overwhelming.

  • A deep sense of isolation, even when surrounded by loved ones

​

It takes immense courage to seek support when you feel depleted. We see your strength in reaching out.

​

Our Approach: Moving Beyond the Darkness

We believe recovery is possible, and it often starts with small, manageable steps. Our collaborative therapeutic approach is designed not just to alleviate symptoms, but to address the root causes of your emotional pain.

We utilise evidence-based techniques, which may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To identify and restructure the negative, automatic thought patterns that feed depression, shifting your perspective to a more balanced and realistic view.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To help you clarify your core values and commit to actions that align with them, even when difficult feelings are present. This helps build a life worth living, regardless of mood fluctuations.

  • Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: To teach you how to relate to your struggles with kindness, rather than self-criticism.

What You Can Expect

Our sessions provide a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential space where you are fully supported. We will work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you to:

  1. Reclaim energy: Identify small, sustainable actions to rebuild your motivation and engagement.

  2. Process underlying causes: Gently explore past experiences or current stressors contributing to your depression.

  3. Build a toolkit: Develop practical, sustainable coping skills to manage emotional lows and prevent future spirals.

​

You don't have to carry this burden alone. I'm ready to walk alongside you as you rediscover your resilience and find your path back to meaningful engagement with life. Take the first step toward lightness.
