Depression affects many of us yet it is still difficult to talk about in Irish society. Unfortunately through this silence, the very acute pain that each individual experiences is lost and unacknowledged. Our psychotherapists and counsellors understand the deeply personal nature of depression and how it has the capacity to impact on each and every part of a person’s life.

What is Depression Counselling?

Initially when you meet with with a psychotherapist, you will discuss your personal experience of depression. You will have you an opportunity to identify what contributes to your low mood and depressed thoughts  feelings and behaviours. You will be helped to identify aspects of your problems that can be changed and open to improvement.

Cognitive behavioural therapy techniques are incorporated to help you develop realistic and achievable life goals. These techniques help you to identify your needs in life situations and in relation to others and how to ensure these needs are met.
