The dark cloud of depression is all consuming. It is difficult to see anything else in our world, like the things we care about and the people we love. The cloud is there for a legitimate reason.

What if we could lower it enough that you can start doing all the things that matter to you again? I will support you in getting back behind the wheel so that the dark cloud is no longer in the driver’s seat of your life.

Sadness is a common emotion. However, when sadness lingers in our lives, is long term, and affects our day to day life, then it is something to be addressed. I help clients to take steps towards reducing depression through related actions. Alongside this, I work with clients to understand how the depression is controlling them and what strategies we might consider to reduce this control. For example, clients often find it helpful to engage with others, challenge their thinking, consider their past positive experiences, and consider changes to their environment to begin to feel more and more positive emotions and less depressed.

How we became depressed is only the first step in ones work on depression; figuring out how to create change, support, and maintain change is the bulk of it.
