Depression

“Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”
— Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Depression can affect how you feel about yourself, others, and the world around you. It may involve persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, exhaustion, numbness, or a sense of hopelessness. For some people, depression develops in response to specific life events; for others, it can feel long-standing or difficult to explain.

People experiencing depression often describe feeling stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by self-criticism. You may find it hard to ask for help, or worry that things will never change. Therapy offers a space to begin exploring these experiences with care and understanding.

My approach to working with depression

I offer individual psychotherapy for depression, working in an integrative and psychodynamic way. This means we look not only at symptoms, but also at the emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to how you are feeling.

Rather than trying to “fix” you, therapy aims to understand what your depression may be communicating — including experiences of loss, unmet needs, early relationships, or ways of coping that once helped but now feel limiting. Sessions are paced carefully, with attention to safety, trust and compassion.
