About Counselling For Depression

Depression is more than simply feeling unhappy or fed up for a few days, we all go through spells of feeling down. When you are depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks or months. If left untreated, it can go on for years.

Some people still think that depression is trivial and not a genuine health condition. They're wrong. Depression is a real illness with real symptoms, and it's not a sign of weakness or something you can "snap out of" by "pulling yourself together".

Counselling or CBT can help by providing you with strategies to help both alleviate and prevent depressive symptoms from recurring in future. Furthermore it can show you steps to help find alternative ways of dealing with life’s challenges.
