Depression
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Depression or a persistent low mood can manifest as disrupted sleep, lack of motivation, chronic tiredness, sadness, crying spells, low energy, an inability to take care of yourself, and withdrawal from friends or activities that used to bring you pleasure. But there are strategies that will lift depression and prevent it from happening in the future. Learn about what is happening in your brain and body when you experience depression, and what you can do about it. My kind and non-judgmental approach will connect you to your own innate resources

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
Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
A depression is more than sadness - it's when we struggle to help ourselves shift ourselves. Here it is helpful to begin with behaviour and cognitive examinations to help us mobilise the kind of energy we need to live a fulfilling life.

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.
