Depression
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, ACA Level 2,
There are genuine reasons why we feel depressed or taken over by a low mood or despairing mindset. Some of those could be from how we were shaped by our environment in early childhood, some of them could be factors at play today. Depression can sometimes be representative of unprocessed grief, and sometimes it can be a learnt physiological state originating from a very young age.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with you to understand what those reasons are, and how we can transform them into new ways of being. This means collaborating with you in creating a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
As an experience of low energy or 'hypoarousal', depression can sometimes be linked to our attachment years. So the work might involve deep visualisations to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy). The work might involve tracking beliefs and experiences that have led you to distance yourself from social life or particular people or places and protect yourself through a depressive response.

Depression
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns), Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor to assist you further where requested.
I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self and enthusiasm for life.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from low mood and depression to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Depression
Ronnie Adamowicz
Therapist, M.A. Psych
I approach depression through a somatic and relational lens, understanding it not as a personal failure or something to be “fixed,” but often as a protective response of the nervous system to overwhelm, loss, or long-held emotional pain. Depression can show up as numbness, exhaustion, low motivation, disconnection, or a sense of meaninglessness — experiences that are deeply embodied, not just mental.
In somatic psychotherapy, we work gently with the body’s signals to restore movement, vitality, and emotional contact at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than pushing for positivity or insight alone, this approach supports gradual reconnection with feeling, agency, and self-compassion. Over time, clients often find increased energy, clarity, and a renewed capacity to engage with life and relationships.
This work can be especially helpful if depression feels persistent, if talk therapy hasn’t shifted things, or if you experience depression alongside anxiety or trauma.

Depression
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Depression has a deceptive timelessness where it can feel like things have always been this dark and will always be this dark. But that's not true. Nothing in nature remains static. Things are always changing. One season replaces another. It's important to remember this and to know, even in the darkest moments, that something different is possible.

Reeta Dabydoyal
Counsellor/Therapist, Certified NLP Master Practitioner, Master Life Coach, Advanced Conversational Hypnotherapy, CDAA, NLPAA
You feel life is out of control, road blocks after roadblocks where everything seems to be going wrong. Has your stress level taken its toll in your life specially right now?
Experiencing depression can be quite debilitating and painful. Without appropriate intervention, depression can easily manifest to other emotional and physical symptoms. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients suffering from mental issues, workplace stress, depression and other emotional, physical related issues. My goal is to help you to break free from the stressful life changes, frustrations, self-doubt and low self esteem that are keeping you stuck. You will learn strategies how to overcome the inner conflicts, letting go of the old patterns, shift your mindset, manage your emotional state, and understand how to develop new empowering thoughts.
I use a variety of stress relief techniques and tools including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Light healing, Emotional Intelligence, Guided Imagery, Advanced Conversational Hypnotherapy, and Timeline Therapy to assist with overcoming any limiting beliefs, fears, and emotional blocks so you can step up to reclaim your power, rewrite your story and take charge of your life to become your BEST VERSION.
Life is too short to be unhappy. Imagine who would you become without your emotional baggage and liberate yourself from being a slave to your emotions?
If you are looking to create lasting change and would like to work with me, feel free to send me a message.
I look forward to connecting with you and making a difference in your life.
