Depression Counselling in Peachland, BC.

Recognising the symptoms & signs that Depression presents with, will allow me to follow different therapies. There are many sub-types of depression. Listening carefully to the Client will give me insight as to what Depressive spectrum we are dealing with. If Depression has been present for at least two weeks, my approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that has been shown to be more effective than medications. If suicidal thoughts are present & strong I ask for help.

Depression is very common amongst a lot of people. Most of us go through various ups and downs in our life, and sometimes we need a little help getting through a down period. When a client is depressed, similar to when a client is angry, I would help them in determining the root cause of the depression as it is critical for treatment planning. Once determined, we would discuss a treatment plan together that is realistically attainable. I would empower my client to recognize their strengths and abilities to manage their depression, such as looking at similar situations from their past that they have managed successfully.
