Depression
Do you experience one or more of the following?
Difficulty getting up in the morning
Feeling tired and lethargic
Lack of appetite
Feeling ‘flat’
Wanting to withdraw from the world
Feeling little pleasure from anything you do
Feeling worthless or guilty
Having thoughts and feelings about ‘not wanting to be here’
How counselling can help:
Whether or not you have received a formal diagnosis of depression, you may be experiencing some or all of its symptoms. Counselling can help you better understand your experience of depression including how you’re thinking about yourself and life in generally. These insights pave the way for developing alternative ways of thinking and engaging with the world that in turn help you to feel less weighed down by life.
As with many other issues, counselling is not about finding a ‘cure’ but about understanding the nature of your depression, and using this understanding to help you find ways of living with it that allow you to function better without losing a sense of who you are. This work may involve looking back over past difficulties and how you navigated these.
Counselling can serve as a useful alternative or as a complement to any anti-depressant medication already prescribed by your GP, as well as a way of exploring what it’s like for you to be taking prescribed medication.
