Depression
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Depression is more significant than just sadness. It lasts longer, and because it can affect people’s lives in many different ways, from their energy levels, ability to focus or work, their ability to eat and sleep, their anxiousness, irritability, emotionality, and their relationships, it can feel more frightening. Talk therapy has been shown to be highly effective for helping people to overcome depression, it helps people find ways to cope with everyday stressors. Talk therapy helps us to gain a new perspective on our problems, find our voice and begin to ask for what we need.

Depression
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Depression can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how depression feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.

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.
