Depression Support

Depression can feel like moving through life with an invisible weight on your shoulders. For some, it’s a deep sadness that never seems to lift. For others, it’s a numbness - a sense of being disconnected from yourself and the world around you. It might feel like a fog, or like you’re just going through the motions on autopilot, or something entirely different.

Everyday life can start to feel overwhelming: getting up in the morning, meeting responsibilities, or even spending time with people you love. It’s exhausting, and it can leave you feeling isolated - even if no one around you realises how much you’re struggling.

You are not broken, and you are not alone.

Alongside being a trauma therapist trained in Brainspotting, I am also a Certified Counselling for Depression Practitioner (PCE-CfD) and spent 10 years working in the NHS supporting people living with mild to moderate depression.

In our work together, you don’t have to put on a mask or explain everything perfectly. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, creating a safe and gentle space for you to begin exploring what you’re feeling.

Together, we can:

• Begin to make sense of feelings that feel overwhelming, confusing, or hard to put into words

• Explore not just the symptoms, but the root causes of your depression

• Reconnect you with yourself and the parts of life that feel meaningful

• Start to release the heaviness you’ve been carrying, at a pace that feels right for you

Using Brainspotting alongside evidence-based counselling approaches, we’ll work gently with the mind and body - helping you process and shift what feels stuck, and reconnect with the resilience and strength already within you.

Depression doesn’t always look like the clichés. Sometimes, it’s quiet and hidden. You may recognise yourself if you’ve been experiencing:

• Feeling low, flat, or “numb” much of the time

• Tiredness or loss of energy, even after rest

• Finding it hard to enjoy things that once mattered to you

• Irritability, self-criticism, or feeling “not good enough”

• Changes in sleep or appetite

• Struggling to concentrate or make decisions

• Withdrawing from others, or feeling disconnected

If some of these resonate with you, know that it doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’ve been holding too much, for too long - and your mind and body are signalling that you need support.

Depression can convince you that you should just “get on with it,” or that no one would understand. But you don’t have to keep pushing through on your own.

When you’re ready, I invite you to book a free clarity call. It’s a gentle first step - a chance for us to talk about what you’re going through, and see how therapy with me could support you.

There is hope, there is a way forward, and we can begin, together.
