Dr David Tilbrook
Psychologist, Chartered Clinical Psychologist Specialising in Psychotherapy with Senior Practitioner Status
'Depression' can be our starting point but generally does not tell us much about what is going on at an internal emotional level. We will work to understand what the emotional dynamics are that are getting you depressed or keeping you there, and then work together to free you from unhelpful patterns and coping mechanisms so you can regain your vitality and purpose in life.

I offer a compassionate space to explore the complexities of this emotional state. Using a Psychosynthesis approach, we examine the emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual dimensions that underlie depressive symptoms. This holistic viewpoint allows for a nuanced understanding of depression, including how it may interact with other facets of your life such as relationships or work. The goal of our sessions will be to help you gain deeper self-insight and practical coping skills, allowing you to navigate through life's ups and downs with greater emotional resilience. In this way, our work together aims to bring about a meaningful shift towards a more balanced state of well-being.

Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Depression can be a debilitating and overwhelming experience, but it is treatable. As a therapist, I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) which have been proven to be effective in treating depression.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their depression. IPT, on the other hand, focuses on addressing and resolving interpersonal relationship problems that may be contributing to the depression.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your depression and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to share your thoughts and feelings, and help you gain a better understanding of yourself.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, I encourage you to reach out for help. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.

Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
In modern society, the word depression is used to describe experiences ranging from low mood and sadness to a complete inability to function. Depression can manifest as extreme fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and suicidal thoughts.
Statistics tell us that one in six to a quarter of us will suffer from mild to severe depression at some point in our lives. Mild to severe depression can last from a few days to many years. Often there are no clear-cut manifestations of the depression that outsiders can observe, and this compounds the problem because people don’t understand what you are experiencing.
No two people’s experience of depression is exactly the same, and it can be very difficult to understand why the symptoms are even present much less what to do about it. Having experienced depression firsthand, I know what the experience is like and how debilitating it can be. I have now successfully treated sufferers of depression for over 20 years and have drawn heavily on my personal experience and the lessons it taught me.
Depression symptoms can manifest themselves in many different ways and can also increase gradually over time making them harder to detect in the early stages. The symptoms can be wide-ranging and the symptoms can appear to be constant and relentless. Your symptom experiences may well include:
low mood
hopelessness
lack of motivation
confusion and a sense of being lost or stuck
loss of appetite, weight loss, or weight gain
cognitive dysfunction – ‘brain fog’, inability to concentrate and memory loss
sleep disturbance
loss of pleasure and interest in life
agitation
fatigue and lack of energy
suicidal thoughts
weakness
aches and pains
Loss of libido
I’d like to be very clear, we often think that when we experience symptoms there is something wrong with our brain. While this can be the case, a more useful way of looking at symptoms for the condition of depression, is that your body is seeking to get your attention, to let you know that something is not quite right. You are NOT broken, your body is working perfectly normally, it is simply alerting you to the fact that you’ve become disconnected from YOU and something needs to change. Opening up to a new understanding and making that change is well within your own capability.
