Depression Counselling in Murrayville, BC.

For many, the experience of major depressive disorder can entail the experience of several detrimental symptoms such as feelings of worthlessness; lack of energy; loss of interest and pleasure; low mood; fatigue and sleep disturbances. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) we can work collectively to remedy said symptoms, as well as many others. In addition, we can work to replace maladaptive beliefs, behaviours, cognitions and feelings with their more adaptive counterparts. Through psychoeducation, I can offer tools to improve emotional regulation and help increase your self-worth.

Depression is like a dark shroud that hovers over a person's existence making each day a perpetual struggle. Life in general is disrupted. The smallest daily life routine becomes impossible. People may be predisposed to depression, but there is not a gene that predetermines whether a person will experience the effects of the disease. The four pillars of healthy living include: developing a balanced eating plan; engaging in regular exercise, instilling good sleep hygiene and social connection. Cognitive Behaviour tends to be the gold seal approach when a client present with symptoms of depression. Other modalities also serve to help the client manage his/her/they depressive episodes.

Depression can be a very difficult barrier in someone’s life. It can keep them from feeling happy and hopeful, and can impact their every day relationships. We use CBT, DBT or EMDR therapy to help process feelings, as well as learn a new ways of healthy coping. We work together with the client to find new ways of helping them feel better and live the life that they want.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

We target depression by addressing the underlying experiences and beliefs that contribute to it. Often, depressive responses are linked to unresolved memories of loss, shame, failure, or feeling unsafe. My approach helps the brain reprocess these experiences so they no longer trigger the same emotional and physiological distress. As clients integrate these memories with new, more adaptive perspectives, they often notice a lift in mood, reduced self-criticism, and greater motivation. The approach doesn’t just treat the symptoms of depression — it helps heal the roots.

I hold space for clients to express their pain and sadness first and foremost; this can be an empowering and effective tool, especially for those who haven't had a chance to explore or express these feelings at all. I also work to empower my clients through building awareness of triggers and coping strategies and by exploring potential underlying causes which can help clients move forward in a deeper manner.

Through the process of exploring the possible causes of their feelings of depression, it is my hope that clients will discover that they do have the capability of addressing these issues. Clients will learn that they do have choices in how they view specific situations, and that they have choices in how they respond to challenges in their lives. Clients will benefit from learning communication skills that will encourage them to more effectively express needs and feelings to significant people in their lives. Moreover, it is my hope that as clients come to greater self-awareness, they will develop a kinder and more gentle acceptance of Self.

In depression counseling, I work collaboratively with you to understand what's contributing to your depression—whether life circumstances, relationship patterns, past experiences, or feeling disconnected from what matters. Depression often involves losing touch with meaning and purpose, so together we'll explore what gives your life significance and how to reconnect with those things. We develop a practical, step-by-step plan tailored to your situation. This might involve challenging thoughts that keep you stuck, processing difficult emotions, or rediscovering activities that once brought satisfaction. Our therapeutic relationship provides steady support as you navigate this. Clients report gradually regaining energy, hope, and a sense that life feels worthwhile again

Depression is a medical term that describes a mood but if we simply look at the overall meaning of the word, it means to "press down". Clearly, a person who suffers from 'depression' fits the definition as a 'person who is pressed down'. i am NOT arguing that depression is a simple issue, rather that there are REASONS that a person feels 'pressed down' and at least part of the process of recovery is to first identify then lift the burden that is 'pressing down' the person.

Depression isn’t who you are — it’s a response to pain you were never meant to carry alone. In my counselling practice, I offer a steady, compassionate space to explore the heaviness, numbness, and self-doubt that can feel overwhelming. Together, we listen for what your fatigue and sadness are trying to protect, rebuild connection, and gently re-ignite a sense of meaning. You don’t have to move through the darkness on your own. With care, patience, and support, a way forward becomes possible.
