Depression
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.

Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
In my private practice, I use relational psychotherapy as a tool for clients to use when combining self-help and talking through their perspectives on themselves and their lives. I offer “watchful relational psychotherapy”, which is a fortnightly review on how the client is relating to the therapy. There are a number of circumstances where some guidance and self-empowerment are used in creative therapy. This sense of self-empowerment extends to talking through the client’s feelings, all of which is very helpful for the client’s self-esteem. An interesting development over the last few years has also been the practical use social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Tinder and Grinder, all of which my private practice has positively used with some clients.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Depression is often a sign that we're holding down sadness, anger, fear or some other very powerful emotions that we find difficult to manage. We can experience a state of total shut-down or overwhelm in which it's easier to do nothing, to seemingly switch off or go dark. Working with depression in therapy, we don't just talk about what's going on but we come to understand how your energy works when you're healthy. We make shifts in the *reason* that your body and psyche are depressing, holding you down, or holding you back- so that you can move towards restoring healthy balance.

Alison Edwards Therapy, Coaching & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, ACT and person-centred counselling, which are recommended psychological therapies for depression. I have experience of supporting clients who have been feeling depressed for a long time, clients who have had multiple separate episodes of depression, and young people who have been depressed since their teenage years. Often my clients have another area of mental health concern, such as social anxiety, panic attacks, traumas, PTSD, or a physical health condition. I’m experienced in supporting clients who have found previous counselling, psychotherapy or medication to be ineffective or unhelpful.

Donna Mitchell
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I work with your depression to understand why it's there and how you're feeling about yourself in your life. I find depression is often linked with having a strong critical voice which doesn't truly help us. We can work together to create a more compassionate and encouraging voice towards yourself that drives you more to live the life that you want.
