Depression
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
Working in a trauma informed way means actively resisting re-traumatisation whilst understanding the root cause of my client's depression. We assess your strengths and coping mechanisms, building a therapeutic relationship. I may use some CBT tools in order to identify and challenge any negative thought patterns and beliefs which may be stemming from past trauma - and replacing them with healthier, more balanced thoughts. Working with a body-oriented approach which focuses on releasing trauma stored in the body may be helpful as well as learning how to regulate your nervous system. Mindfulness and meditation techniques are often useful with this. Ultimately ensuring continuity of care by providing you with resources and referrals for additional support if this will be helpful and is required.

Alison Edwards FMBPsS Psychologist, Supervisor & ADHD Specialist
Psychologist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc, CBT/ ACT/ CFT/ SFBT Therapist
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.

Depression
Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Depression is much more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch. It is a common, serious medical condition that affects how you feel, think, and act. It touches every aspect of daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
Common Signs and Symptoms
Persistent Low Mood: Feeling sad, empty, hopeless, or having frequent crying spells for no apparent reason.
Loss of Interest (Anhedonia): A significant drop in pleasure or interest in hobbies, social activities, or things you once loved.
Fatigue & Low Energy: Feeling constantly exhausted, sluggish, or weighed down, even after a full night's sleep.
Changes in Sleep or Appetite: Experiencing insomnia or sleeping too much, alongside noticeable weight loss or gain due to changes in eating habits.
Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering details at work, school, or home.
Worthlessness or Excessive Guilt: Being overly hard on yourself, feeling like a burden, or ruminating over past failures.
Physical Aches: Unexplained headaches, stomachaches, or chronic pain that doesn't respond to typical treatment.
Understanding and Coping
Depression can trick your mind into believing that things will never get better and that you are completely alone. However, it is treatable through a combination of therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and medical support.
Remember: Depression is an illness, not a personal weakness or a character flaw. Reaching out for help is a brave first step toward healing.
