Confidential online therapy for depression and persistent low mood. Understand the signs, how therapy helps, and how to book a first session.
You do not need to identify with all of these. Even a few is reason enough to talk to someone.
Depression is often described as a chemical imbalance, but that is only part of it. It usually develops where biology meets circumstance: prolonged stress, loss, isolation, unresolved grief, or a long stretch of living against your own values. As mood drops, activity drops; as activity drops, there are fewer sources of reward; and mood drops further. That loop is the engine of depression, and it is also where therapy intervenes.
What the work actually involves, session by session.
Rather than waiting to feel motivated, we rebuild small, achievable activity first — because in depression, action reliably comes before motivation, not after it.
Depression speaks in absolutes: always, never, everyone. We examine that voice and loosen its grip, which is often the first thing clients notice changing.
Sometimes depression is a reasonable response to an unreasonable situation — a job, a relationship, an unspoken loss. Naming it is part of the work.
Towards the end we build your personal early-warning signs and a written plan, so a dip does not become a slide.
