Depression & Psychotherapist Counselling

Major depressive disorder, commonly referred to as ‘depression’ can severely disrupt your life. Depression can affect your relationships, your working life, your sleeping patterns, your appetite, or lead to abuse of substances to attempt to avoid difficult feelings. Some symptoms of depression can be, constant feelings of sadness, irritability or tension, decreased interest or pleasure in usual activities or hobbies, loss of energy, lack of concentration, restlessness, a change in sleeping patterns, feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness or guilt or thoughts of suicide.

The professional therapists at Cavendish Psychotherapy, London will aim to help with treatment for depression by working with you to pin-point its source, which could stem from childhood experiences, and help you find ways of working through it. Depression counselling techniques from focused therapies such as CAT or CBT can be helpful in developing an awareness of the cycle of belief that can maintain depression.
