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.

Therapy can help you to work with your feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and internal or external conflict. It gives you the opportunity to reflect on what is happening within your life and yourself; reduce confusion; consider alternative ways of doing things, make positive changes and to move forward into the life you want.

Depression
Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
Feelings of low mood and depression can strongly impact the way a person feels about themselves, the people around them and the world in general. Like anxiety, depression can be extremely debilitating. I specialise in treating these experiences by first attempting to make sense of where the distressing feelings come from.

Depression
Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
Depression can be described as a disturbance in a person’s ability to grow to their full potential. Every individual holds the key to their own ability to facilitate change given the right conditions for growth and positive change. If you are depressed, I can help you shift your perspectives by employing empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence. If you're experiencing these conditions, healing can begin to take place. Each depressed person is seen as a unique individual with their own set of circumstances. Given the right interpersonal environment where real contact can take place, I can help you lift your depression by you experiencing more self-acceptance and self-worth.

Depression
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Depression is often more than low mood, it can reflect patterns shaped by what has been endured over time. My work focuses on understanding these experiences through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, exploring the deeper patterns that influence how you feel, relate, and cope. This creates space for meaningful, lasting change.
