Major depression and depressive episodes are frequently related to unresolved trauma, significant loss and complex grief, as well as difficulties with expressing anger, dealing with prolonged frustration, chronic pain or anxiety in an effective way. Therapy explore underlying experiences of a sense of failure and rejection. Unless an organic cause can be identified, both therapists deal with depression and anxiety as a negative psychological state that can be improved utilising cognitive behavioral and self explorative strategies

Depression is often the symptom, not the core problem. That means one of our skilled therapists will help you to delve into the factors that have contributed to yo urdepression and work on these underlying issues. Then you find that the treatment works quicker and there is less chance of relapse.

It was predicted that by 2020, depression would be the world's second most serious illness. It reached that goal earlier. 'Depression' is a greatly misunderstood and misused term. We often misdiagnose what I call JU as depression. JU being Justifiable Unhappiness. We're not actually meant to be happy all the time. We end a relationship, lose a job, an adult child leaves home.... we are meant to feel a bit sad and unhappy. I work with people in all stages of unhappiness and depression to help them to reclaim their joy. And no. I am NOT, absolutely NOT anti-medication. Some medication can be life saving. Much of it is over-prescribed in the name of 'evidence-based medicine' when the people prescribing it, have no evidence other than that provided by the vested interests of the reps from the drug companies.
