Depression Counselling in Alberta Beach, AB.

I provide help for individuals experiencing depression and how it may be affecting multiple aspects of everyday life such as work, family, friendships, other relationships and day-to-day responsibilities. In counselling I help clients better understand multiple aspects of depression, develop the tools needed to cope more effectively, and restore feelings of hope.

Research has clearly demonstrated that mindfulness-based approaches to depression are so powerful that they can reduce the chances of having a relapse by 50%! That's a big deal. A depressed mind is busy creating all kinds of negative thoughts. Mindfulness-based therapy will teach you a new way to relate to your thoughts. You don't have to believe everything you think! Especially the bad stuff, becuse it's often not true.

Depression is defined in many different ways. My approach sees depression as a social phenomenon, first and foremost. People who suffer from it usually tend to blame themselves for how they view the world, or for how they feel about themselves. In my view, in doing so they are missing the big picture. They are failing to see that our society increasingly creates the conditions for isolation, dissatisfaction, emotional instability. Working on our desires, working on what is socially acceptable, discussing the contradictions that we experience every day are often key to find a way out, to perceive our pain within the most appropriate frame.
