Depression Counselling
You are not alone
At times it may seem as if nothing anyone says or does can help you feel better. You might have tried some self-help techniques; well-meaning relatives or friends may have offered to help and even suggested that you “cheer up” or “stop worrying”. However, there are things that you can do which can make a huge difference. Depression counselling is one way to start to improve.
I have counselled many individuals who have experienced low mood, anxiety and depression.
I know from experience that it is possible for the negative self-talk to disappear, the worries to become less, the difficult feelings to lift, and for you to start enjoying life again.
Person centred counselling
My method of counselling is primarily “person-centred”. This approach, developed by psychologist Carl Rogers, focuses on the idea that every individual has the internal resources they need for growth.
This approach is particularly helpful for those who wish to explore themselves and their feelings and who value personal responsibility, rather than those who would like extensive advice or wish to gain a diagnosis of what they are experiencing. I do not work from a script or have a set of questions to ask, you choose what you wish to talk about and I work with whatever you bring to the conversation and at your own pace.
Next steps
If you would like further information, I offer an initial telephone consultation completely free of charge to help you and I decide if I am the right counsellor for you. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Initial Session
If you decide to have counselling you can book an initial session. At this appointment you will have an opportunity to decide whether or not you feel comfortable talking to me, whether we can both work together, and if counselling is right for you at this time. You will be under no obligation to pursue counselling. Deciding who to work with is extremely important, so you may want to meet a few prospective counsellors before making a decision.
FEES: £100.00 Per 50 minute session
