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-judgemental approach will connect you to your own innate resources

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
Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.
3 Years Experience
Online in Edinburgh, Scotland Scotland (Online Only)
Edinburgh's identity as Scotland's capital and a major university city — home to the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading research institutions — creates strong demand for therapists experienced with academic pressure, young adult transitions, and the challenges of a highly competitive intellectual environment. The city's large student population, tourism sector workforce, and growing tech community each generate distinct therapy needs, from performance anxiety and identity exploration to burnout and occupational stress. NHS Lothian provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in Stockbridge, Morningside, and the New Town. Edinburgh's annual Festival season brings an influx of creative professionals and associated mental health demands around performance, identity, and the pressures of public artistic life.
