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.

Depression
Rachel Bates
Registered Psychotherapist, M Phil - Counselling & Psychotherapy; M A Psychology
Depression is a feeling of a low mood that can last for a long time and affect everyday life. It can fill one with despair and hopelessness, guilt and worthlessness, leaving a sense of a lack of motivation and exhaustion. It can affect one's self-esteem, sleep, appetite, sex drive and physical health. In severe cases, depression can make one feel suicidal and this can be life-threatening.

Depression
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Low mood that does not lift, loss of motivation, the heaviness of getting through the day. Depression has many causes and is best supported by a team that may include a medical doctor and a licensed mental health professional. Within that picture, RTT can be a powerful complement. It works at the subconscious level to find and update the beliefs that often sit underneath low mood, things like "I am not enough", "I do not matter" or "nothing I do will change anything". When those root beliefs shift, many clients describe feeling lighter and more able to engage with life again. If you are currently under medical care, please continue to work with your provider. I am happy to work alongside them.

Depression
Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
While depression is a common human experience, the effects can be wide-ranging and vary from person to person. And it's not
always possible to turn to family or friends for support - through stigma, misunderstandings, judgement, or a perceived sense of weakness or failure. Are you struggling with depression/prolonged low mood? Are you battling suicidal thoughts and feelings, a sense of helplessness or despair? I have supported many people through their experience of depression, and I can be there for you in a non-judgmental, compassionate and empowering way. We can work together at your pace to relieve troubling thoughts and feelings, rediscover hope and gain a sense of control over your life. We can also work through life experiences or events that may be contributing to your depression or have triggered your depression. My goal in our counselling is to support and empower you to find your sense of wellbeing or recovery. If you'd like to explore depression counselling, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.
