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.

Depression
Anna Nolan Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling (UQ), ACA Registered Member, Cancer Counselling Professionals Clinical Member.
Living with depression often means carrying a heavy burden that no one else can see. It can manifest as exhaustion, a chest that feels weighted down, or mornings that start with dread before your feet even touch the floor. I support people living with depression to make sense of what lies beneath it—whether that's unresolved conflict, harsh inner scripts, or accumulated stress or grief. Together we’ll work towards easing emotional pain, and reclaiming energy, motivation, meaning and connection.

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.
