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.

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.

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.

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.
