Depression Counselling
You Don’t Have to Pretend You’re Okay
Depression can make even the smallest things feel heavy. It can show up as exhaustion, emptiness, or going through the motions without really feeling present. As an experienced depression therapist, I offer a space where you don’t have to explain it all, you can just be.
Through online therapy for depression, we’ll gently explore what’s underneath the weight, and work toward lightness, connection, and clarity – on your terms.
What Does Depression Really Feel Like?
Depression isn’t just sadness, it can feel like numbness, disconnection, irritability, or a constant inner heaviness. It may be hard to get out of bed, hard to care for yourself, or hard to recognize yourself in the mirror.
Whether you’ve experienced this for a long time or it’s something new, counselling for depression can help you understand what’s going on internally and begin to shift those patterns, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
How I Can Support You Through Depression
My approach to depression counselling is rooted in compassion. I know how hard it can be to even start talking about what you’re feeling but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll use a combination of therapies along with relational and somatic tools, to support you in reconnecting with yourself.
CBT & DBT for Depression
Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we’ll work on recognizing unhelpful patterns, building self-awareness, and developing tools to manage emotions, shift thinking, and restore motivation.
Therapy That Adapts to You
I offer individual counselling for depression that meets your energy, your needs, and your capacity, every step of the way.
Space to Feel, Without Rushing to “Fix”
Depression doesn’t disappear overnight. This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, no pressure to feel better right away, just steady support throughout.
