Low mood & depression counselling may help if you experience:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or tearfulness
- Loss of interest or motivation
- Low energy, fatigue, or feeling slowed down
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Harsh self-criticism or feeling hopeless
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling. Many people attend therapy to better understand what’s happening and to develop healthier ways of coping.
How counselling can help with low mood & depression
- Understand what’s contributing to low mood
- Develop strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings
- Rebuild motivation, routine, and self-care
- Improve confidence, connection, and coping
Therapists may use approaches such as CBT, integrative counselling, psychodynamic therapy, or mindfulness-based techniques, depending on your needs.
What happens in your first session
- Talk through what’s been happening for you
