Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Depression is one of the most common mental health difficulties people experience nowadays. Having worked therapeutically with people for over 14 years, I have come to witness how there could be various causes, as well as manifestations of depression.
I offer a psychotherapeutic space where we can start thinking about your personal experiences, in order to make better sense of why you have come to a point of feeling depressed and what is preventing you from moving forward.

Depression can feel like a disconnection from yourself, others, and the life you once knew—sometimes experienced as numbness, fatigue, or a quiet sense of collapse. It may show up as a loss of meaning, motivation, or joy, but beneath the surface, it often carries unspoken grief, unmet needs, or buried parts of the self. In therapy, we don’t rush to fix or pathologise—we listen with compassion to what the depression might be protecting, expressing, or calling for. Together, we make space for reconnection, vitality, and the slow return of hope and self-trust.Whatever your experience, depression is not a personal failure. It’s a sign that something in you is asking for attention, care, and space to breathe again.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Depression is difficult to define into many it feels a lot like being stuck and on excited about anything. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes you need someone else to help you focus on it.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Helplessness, hopelessness, low energy and no motivation can be ways our nervous system deals with overwhelm from the past or present. These can be part of a protective, learnt state- wanting to do nothing, to seemingly switch off or 'go dark'. Working with depression in therapy, we don't just talk about what's going but learn how you come 'back to life' at your own pace. I take a multi-dimensional approach to helping you uncover the roots of your depression, looking at physical, energetic, mental and emotional levels.
