Counselling for Depression
Counselling for Depression in Leeds & Wetherby
I can provide you with the knowledge and tools to manage negative thoughts, which will help you overcome symptoms such as hopelessness and a lack of interest in people and the things around you that you previously liked.
Depression has nothing to do with how emotionally strong you are, it is after all, a condition that generally slowly and progressively alters you personally and develops until you are unable to cope with the things around you and how you interact with family and friends.
Some people are functioning depressives in that they can block out their personal feeling in a work environment, yet still struggle once they are in their own setting.
Unfortunately, this can only increase the level of isolation and feelings of self-worth because they are supressing the symptoms and effectively hiding from the reality of then situation.
By working with me, we can explore the correct pathway to find strategies that help you cope and find the happiness you desire.
Counselling for Depression FAQs
Depression counselling is a form of therapy designed to help individuals understand and manage symptoms of depression. Through sessions, you’ll explore the underlying causes of your depression, develop coping strategies, and work towards a healthier emotional state.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a common and effective approach for treating depression. CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to depressive symptoms. This therapy helps you develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to challenges.

- Emotional support: A safe and non-judgmental space to express your feelings.
- Skill development: Tools and techniques to manage negative thoughts and emotions.
- Problem-solving: Strategies for addressing specific challenges and stressors.
- Goal setting: A collaborative approach to setting achievable goals for improvement.
- Insight: Understanding the underlying causes of your depression.
