Depression
We all feel low occasionally. Sadness, like happiness, is part of life. Generally, it lifts pretty quickly; but sometimes it takes root and deepens into depression.
Depression can hit hard, distorting the way you feel - both physically and emotionally - the way you think and the way you behave.
When a person is depressed, energy drains from their body. They feel exhausted, plagued by aches and pains and unable to concentrate on anything for very long. Making decisions becomes impossible and completing even a simple task can feel beyond them. Negative thoughts flood the mind and these negative thoughts and feelings can make a person withdraw from life and can even lead to suicidal thoughts.
As a Therapist I create a supportive environment for you to look at your current and historical situation within the safety of the counselling relationship. Together we would explore thoughts, feelings and beliefs to give you some insights into the road you have travelled towards depression.
Having gained these insights I would support you in finding tools, techniques and the ability to move forward and become engaged in life again.
