How I Can Help
Integrative psychotherapy and counselling for Depression will provide the support and environment where you can explore the origins of the challenges you are experiencing. Counselling and psychotherapy actively promote self-awareness and self-reliance.
Also with the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, which have also proven effective in Depression Counselling, you will begin to understand and recognise your thoughts, feelings, behaviours in the present moment.
