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.

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.

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.
