Depression Counselling in Selwyn, ON.

Depression is an insidious companion, and can creep its way in without us realizing for some time. Shifting a depressed mindset can be extremely difficult but neuroimaging studies have shown that by practicing mindfulness we can begin to alter those well-trodden neural pathways and shift our neurochemistry by promoting the production of neurotransmitters linked to feelings of happiness. Psychotherapy can help you identify mindfulness activities and other tools that can help to promote the production of these neurotransmitters and deliver results rooted in neuroscience. I can offer an alternative perspective and act as the catalyst you need to begin making the shift out of depression.

I find that connecting with clients and taking the time to get to know them well is the basis for creating trust and safety in the therapy process.

To know and feel that they matter can begin to help them see themselves differently. I may use art therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, life skills training, and goal planning and setting, as a part of therapy with clients who are depressed.
