LOW MOOD AND DEPRESSION
When colour drains from life.
When you’re living with low mood or depression, it can feel as though the world has gone flat. Getting out of bed, keeping up with friends, or even eating properly can feel like tasks that take everything you have. It’s not weakness. It’s not self-indulgence. Depression is often a sign that something deep within you is asking for attention — pain that has been carried too long, meaning that has been lost, or a way of living that no longer fits.

How counselling can help
Therapy offers a space to explore your experience gently and at your own pace — without having to perform being okay, and without being rushed toward a solution before you’ve been properly heard. Together, we can look at what’s beneath the low mood and begin to identify small, meaningful shifts. You’ll find ways to manage low energy and reconnect with things that bring warmth and life. As understanding grows, so does self-compassion — and from that place, change becomes possible. I use a combination of Person-Centred Therapy (to provide the relational foundation where real exploration can happen), CBT (to address the thought patterns that reinforce low mood), and Transactional Analysis (to understand the deeper patterns that may have been in place for a long time).

There is a way forward
Even when it doesn’t feel like it, things can change. Counselling won’t make your life different overnight — but it can give you the clarity, support, and tools to start making it different yourself.
