There are many different reasons why someone could be feeling depressed but sometimes you could be feeling some of these symptoms for no obvious reason.

We all experience times in our life when our mood is low, we can feel sad or miserable but these feelings usually pass in time.

However if low mood lasts for a long time and starts to affect your every day life or if you have regular periods of feeling low, this could be a sign of depression. Depression can be mild, moderate or severe and the treatment offered depends on the symptoms that you are currently experiencing.

Here are a few common signs of depression

I work with adults on a one-to-one basis and my fees are £45 for a 50 minute session. If counselling is something you feel you may be interested in, I would ask you to meet me for an appointment. We can then decide together if counselling would be right for you and if you wish to proceed further.
