Depression Counselling in Walkerton, ON.

Depression can be debilitating. I know I have been there. I also know there is a way out. If you are feeling continually down, having negative thoughts, losing focus, and feeling like joyous feelings are limiting, you may be experiencing depression. We look at where you are at and how to bring you back up to feeling more joy than sadness. It is possible.

Hope Centered Counselling has a lot of experience working with Anxiety and Depression. We know that often holding space is all someone can handle on a bad day. The darkness sometimes just feels like too much. We know that asking our clients to make big changes in their life to get better just doesn’t cut it. Baby steps are necessary to start the journey to recovery together. We know its hard and some days there’s nothing in the tank, but we really do care about what you are going through and have the capacity to hold space for you through the journey until you turn a corner. You just don’t have to be alone anymore if you find the right therapist to share the walk with you. We care!

Depression hurts and is becoming epidemic in our society. However, depression is a treatable condition and there are effective approaches that can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness so you can keep moving forward, learn how to face life’s challenges with greater resilience and regain a sense of well-being. I work from the best evidence- based therapies for depression: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Interpersonal therapy (IPT), Solution Focused Therapy and Art Therapy to help you overcome the mental habits leading to despair, rumination, and self-blame so you can repossess the sense of hope, joy and life balance.

When life becomes too much, it’s easy to become socially withdrawn and mentally disconnected from the world around us. It can feel like you're stuck and don't know how to get out. But you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate these concerns alone. Seeking help is a strength and a great first step in the right direction to prioritizing your mental wellness and taking back control over your life.

Depression can feel like a never-ending dark tunnel in which hope, purpose, joy, and motivation to live life can seem impossible. Depression can also lead us to feel disconnected from the very things that make life worth living and it can also make reaching out for help challenging. Should you decide to reach out for help, I will work with you to safely explore how depression has been affecting you and identify some of the factors that may have led you to feel depressed. I will also support you in developing tools to cope with depression so that you can experience a greater sense of connection and purpose within your life. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.
