Depression Counselling

When Depression Starts to Take Hold

You might recognise yourself here:

• You feel low, flat, or emotionally numb

• You’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy

• Everything feels like effort, even small tasks

• You feel disconnected from yourself or others

• You struggle with motivation or direction

• You feel tired, even when you’ve rested

• You carry feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or self-criticism

Depression is not laziness or failure.
It’s often your system protecting you by slowing everything down — but over time, that can start to feel like being stuck.

How I Work With Depression

I don’t approach depression as something to “push through” or fix quickly.
There is usually a reason your system has slowed down or withdrawn.

In our work together, we move gently and at your pace.

We don’t force change.
We begin by creating enough safety for you to reconnect — with your body, your emotions, and your energy.

Through a body-based approach, informed by Core Energetics, we explore what may be sitting underneath the depression — whether that’s unexpressed emotions, long-term stress, or parts of you that have been holding too much for too long.

Together, we begin to:

• Rebuild connection with your body and internal experience

• Gently access emotions that may have been shut down

• Increase your energy and sense of aliveness over time

• Shift patterns of self-criticism into more awareness and support

• Create small, sustainable changes that feel manageable

This is not about forcing yourself to feel better.
It’s about creating the conditions where feeling can return — naturally and safely.

What You Can Expect

• A calm, supportive space where there is no pressure to be “better”

• Gentle guidance that respects your pace and energy levels

• Support to reconnect with your body and emotions

• Practical tools to support regulation and stability

• Space to explore what sits underneath the depression

• A steady, grounded approach to change

You don’t need motivation to start.
You just need a place where you can show up as you are.

Is this just talking, or something different?
We do talk—but we also work with the body, awareness, and nervous system regulation. It’s a more integrated approach.
