Depression
Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Depression is like looking at life through grey-tinted glasses rather than rose-tinted glasses. I can help you to build up your energy again and tackle the sense of hopelessness and lethargy that often pulls us down.

Depression
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Depression doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes, it feels like emotional exhaustion, losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, withdrawing from loved ones, or simply struggling to find the energy to get through another day. You might feel disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or guilty for not being able to feel happier. When you're experiencing depression, even asking for help can feel like an enormous step.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I provide compassionate, affordable counselling for individuals experiencing depression, persistent low mood, emotional numbness, and feelings of hopelessness. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling, and trauma-informed principles to create a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment or pressure.
Together, we can work toward understanding the thoughts, emotions, and life circumstances contributing to your depression, recognizing patterns of negative self-talk, strengthening emotional coping skills, and gradually reconnecting with activities, relationships, and goals that bring meaning to your life.
I also understand that cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and the pressure to appear strong can sometimes make it difficult to acknowledge emotional struggles. My culturally responsive approach honours your personal experiences, values, and identity while helping you develop greater self-compassion and emotional awareness.
Depression can make the future feel uncertain, but you don't have to figure everything out on your own. I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to support you in rediscovering hope, rebuilding confidence, and taking manageable steps toward improved emotional well-being.

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.
