Counselling and Psychotherapy Yarraville
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MEd, BEd, BA, Dip T, Dip Counselling, Dip Hypnotherapy
It was predicted that by 2020, depression would be the world's second most serious illness. It reached that goal earlier. 'Depression' is a greatly misunderstood and misused term. We often misdiagnose what I call JU as depression. JU being Justifiable Unhappiness. We're not actually meant to be happy all the time. We end a relationship, lose a job, an adult child leaves home.... we are meant to feel a bit sad and unhappy. I work with people in all stages of unhappiness and depression to help them to reclaim their joy. And no. I am NOT, absolutely NOT anti-medication. Some medication can be life saving. Much of it is over-prescribed in the name of 'evidence-based medicine' when the people prescribing it, have no evidence other than that provided by the vested interests of the reps from the drug companies.

Therapist, B Couns (Coaching), Grad Dip Couns, M App Soc Sc, Cert IV TAE, Cert IV BE (Community)
Depression itself can be quite pervasive and hard to shift. Through working through your problems gently, with either gentle counselling, or ongoing psychotherapy, most depressive symptoms can shift. I've found great change can happen through the power of listening to your concerns and working through new ways of being with the gentle hand holding of counselling or psychotherapy.
