Depression
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.

Depression
Nadia Zamzul
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P., LL.M
I help clients who are experiencing depression move through the heaviness, numbness, and disconnection that can make everyday life feel difficult. Together, we explore the underlying patterns and experiences contributing to how you feel—not just the symptoms—so we can begin to restore energy, meaning, and a sense of connection to yourself and your life. My approach is steady, compassionate, and paced in a way that respects where you are, while gently supporting movement toward relief and change.

Depression
Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
In dealing with depression, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of depression. When you are depressed, you have no energy to do anything, but the only way to deal with depression is to try to stay active. Not just active, but also relaxed. We will start slowly, step by step increasing your activity, improving your motivation and identifying automatic negative thoughts.

Depression
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.
