Depression
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults experiencing depression, including persistent low mood, loss of motivation, emotional numbness, or a sense of disconnection from themselves and their lives. Depression often develops in response to long-standing patterns, life events, or internal pressures, and can narrow perspective over time.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how depressive states are organised internally and what they may be responding to. Rather than focusing on quick solutions or positive thinking, the work centres on making sense of experience and gently widening possibilities. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Depression
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I view depression from a systemic perspective, looking at the client's entire life to establish what may be causing or exacerbating the client's depression symptoms. Then the client and I collaborate on goals to improve the client's mood and overall wellness. Treating depression I will always be using integrative therapy techniques because no one therapy is right for every aspect of a person's depression.

Depression
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals experiencing depression in its many forms, from persistent low mood and loss of motivation to more complex, longstanding patterns of disconnection and hopelessness. Depression often impacts not just how someone feels, but how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future.
My approach is both compassionate and active. I focus on understanding the underlying emotional and relational patterns that contribute to depression, while also helping clients re-engage with their lives in meaningful, manageable ways. Together, we work to identify what may be keeping them stuck, build greater emotional awareness, and gradually restore a sense of agency, connection, and vitality.
I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without being overwhelmed, and supported without being pushed too quickly—allowing change to unfold in a way that is both sustainable and deeply felt.
