HELP NOW WITH DEPRESSION

If you suffer from depression (or bi-polar disorder depressive phase) then counselling and psychotherapy offer hope.  Many situations can lead to depression, including grief and loss, past or recent sexual, physical and emotional abuse, personality traits, poor or failing relationships, work-related stress and even one's belief systems.  Medication can be a powerful tool (discuss this with your doctor).  However some people find medication ineffective or having undesired side-effects.

While Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the most common approach and might be one of the ways we work together, I am likely to ask about your life and goals as a whole.  Together we would build on your strengths and help you construct the unique life you want for yourself, free from depression.

An Important Note.

If you are worried about yourself or a partner, child or friend being at risk of suicide it is vital to do something about this right away.  Suicidal thoughts should never be dismissed - ask for help.  See the page In Crisis? for some helpful telephone numbers.

MY GUARANTEE

As a counsellor I know that I can help most people who come to see me, with a wide range of issues. However, the single most important factor in successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. You cannot know whether you will have that necessary confidence and trust until we meet. If you end your first session feeling that you haven’t been helped at all and you do not wish to return then tell me. I will gladly refund the initial fee in full, without qualification.
