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

Our Depression Counseling and Mentoring for Individuals and Couples in Relationships is designed to address the unique challenges that depression brings into a relationship. Recognizing that depression not only affects the individual but also their partner, our therapy focuses on both personal and relational healing. We provide a compassionate space where individuals can explore the impact of depression on their own life, and where couples can learn how it affects their relationship dynamics. Our approach integrates individual therapy to address personal struggles with depression, alongside couples therapy to enhance understanding, communication, and support within the relationship. We employ techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, couple-focused interventions, and empathy-building exercises, aiming to foster a supportive partnership where both individuals feel valued and understood, ultimately creating a stronger bond and a shared path to overcoming challenges.

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.
