Online counselling for depression & low mood
When everything feels heavy, grey or pointless, getting through the day can take everything you have. You don't have to push through it alone. I offer warm, practical online therapy to help you lift the fog and find your footing again, wherever you are in the world.
Depression rarely announces itself. For some people it's deep sadness; for many others it's a slow flattening, losing interest in things you used to love, feeling tired no matter how much you sleep, or going through the motions while feeling strangely numb. However it shows up for you, it's not laziness and it's not a character flaw. It's something we can work through together.
How I help with depression
As an integrative therapist I'm trained in a broad range of modalities and choose what fits you. For this work I most often draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), behavioural activation and mindfulness-based techniques (MBCT). Depression has a way of shrinking your world and convincing you nothing will help. Gently, at a pace that feels manageable, we start to widen that world back out.
Make sense of the heaviness
Understand what's feeding your low mood so it feels less like a personal failing and more like something with a way through.
Rebuild momentum gently
Behavioural activation helps you take small, doable steps back toward the things that give life meaning, without forcing it.
Soften the inner critic
Learn to notice and challenge the harsh, hopeless thoughts depression whispers, and respond with more kindness.
Protect your energy
Build sustainable routines around sleep, connection and rest so good days become more frequent and setbacks feel less scary.
What depression can look like
You might recognise some of these: waking up already exhausted, dreading ordinary tasks, withdrawing from people, comfort-eating or losing your appetite, feeling irritable or tearful for no clear reason, or a quiet sense that things will never really change. If any of that sounds familiar, counselling can help, you don't need to hit rock bottom to deserve support.
Depression lies. It tells you that reaching out is pointless, which is exactly why reaching out is such a brave and important first step.
Sessions that meet you where you are
All sessions are online or by phone, across time zones, starting with a free 15-minute consultation. On the hard days you can attend from your bed, in comfortable clothes, with the camera off if you'd rather. We go at your pace, in whichever way feels most comfortable for you.
Depression counselling FAQs
Yes, telehealth counselling is as effective as in-person for depression, and attending from home removes one more hurdle on the days when leaving the house feels like too much.
Often, yes. Depression isn't always tears, for many people it's numbness, exhaustion, low motivation or losing interest in things you used to enjoy. You don't need a formal diagnosis to benefit from support.
I'm an integrative therapist, so rather than using one fixed method I draw on a broad range of evidence-based modalities and tailor them to you, including CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness-based techniques (MBCT), person-centred, solution-focused, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing.
