Experiencing low mood or depression can be overwhelming, affecting how we think, feel, and function in daily life. Psychotherapy and counselling provide a supportive, confidential space to explore these feelings, understand their roots, and develop ways to manage and improve emotional wellbeing.

Understanding Low Mood and Depression

• Low mood can involve feeling sad, tired, unmotivated, or generally ‘flat.’ It is often temporary and related to life stressors or changes.
• Depression is more persistent and intense. It can affect sleep, appetite, self-worth, relationships, and the ability to enjoy life. Symptoms may last for weeks or months and interfere significantly with daily functioning.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy provides a structured way to understand what’s contributing to low mood or depression and to build tools for emotional resilience. Key goals include:

• Gaining insight into underlying thoughts, emotions, and behaviours
• Learning healthier ways of coping
• Reconnecting with values, meaning, and motivation
• Building self-compassion and self-awareness
• Strengthening relationships and communication
