Therapy for Depression

Understanding Depression

Depression can affect mood, motivation, sleep, and relationships. It may feel like energy is low or everyday tasks are harder than usual. Psychological therapy provides structured support to explore these experiences and develop strategies that can improve wellbeing..

Evidence based Approach

I use therapies supported by research and clinical practice, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Building flexibility and reconnecting with values.

  • Schema Therapy: Exploring deeper patterns that influence mood and behaviour.

  • Mindfulness‑based strategies: Supporting awareness and self‑compassion.
