Depression
Depression can feel like a heavy cloud that lingers, making even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming. It often brings a deep sense of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness that doesn’t simply “lift” with time. For some, it shows up as exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, disrupted sleep, or a lack of motivation to engage with life. For others, it can create feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or emotional numbness, leading to disconnection from relationships, work, and the activities that once felt meaningful.
Living with depression is not a sign of weakness — it’s a real and often complex condition that affects both the mind and body. External pressures such as work stress, relationship struggles, bereavement, trauma, or long-term health conditions can all contribute to its onset or make existing symptoms worse. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to carry this weight alone. Together, we can explore the root causes of your feelings, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical strategies to help you move towards hope, energy, and a renewed sense of purpose.
