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.

Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
The Black Dog is what Winston Churchill called it. A disorder that causes immense suffering. The scientific evidence is that talking therapy is as good at treating depression as medication. The difference is of course that you don't have side-effects and the gains you make in therapy last you a lifetime. With medication when you stop taking it, the effect obviously stops too. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for depression, including feelings of low mood, emptiness, exhaustion, hopelessness, and disconnection from yourself or others. Depression can often feel like being “stuck,” emotionally flat, or unable to access motivation or pleasure in life, and it may be accompanied by self-criticism, withdrawal, or a sense of isolation.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, which allows us to explore not only current symptoms, but also the underlying emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to how you feel. Together, we may look at early attachment experiences, loss, trauma, and internalised beliefs that shape your sense of self and emotional world.
I also integrate somatic awareness to help you gently reconnect with your body, especially when depression feels numb or disconnecting. This can support a gradual return to emotional awareness, grounding, and vitality. Psychoeducation may also be used to help you understand depressive states and how they affect both mind and body, reducing confusion and self-blame. Where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional processing and regulation of the nervous system.
Therapy is collaborative and paced according to your needs. We work together to help you understand your experience of depression, make sense of its roots, and slowly build more connection, meaning, and resilience over time.
