Counselling for depression in West London
Depression isn't always sadness. For many people it feels like numbness, exhaustion or a distance from the things they used to care about. Therapy can help you make sense of it, and start to find your way back.
You might recognise this
Feeling low, flat or empty for weeks or months
Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
Low energy, and difficulty getting through the day
Harsh self-criticism or a sense of being a burden
Feeling stuck, with no sense of direction
How therapy can help
We'll talk about what you're experiencing, what may have led to it, and what's keeping you stuck. Having someone listen without judgement is often a first, important step.
How I work
I'm an integrative therapist with 14 years' experience in NHS talking therapies, and I'll work at a pace that suits you.
If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, please contact your GP, call NHS 111, or call Samaritans free on 116 123, 24 hours a day. In an emergency, call 999.
A free telephone call
