Stressful life events, such as; bereavement, relationship breakup, health issues and financial hardship, all have the potential to induce depression. In addition, many convenience foods contain synthetic chemicals that have been scientifically proven to be mood-altering, which adversely affect not just physical health, but mental health as well. Because of pre-menstrual tension and post-natal depression, a higher percentage of women suffer from depression in comparison to men.

Counselling for Depression

Along with teaching our clients appropriate skills to manage mental health issues effectively, for the purpose of symptom reduction, we help our clients to construct realistic goals and implement practical life changes. We promote mindfulness and self-care practices for improving well-being, which facilitates the healing process. Our philosophy is based on the principles of Reality Therapy/Choice Theory which proves highly successful in treating depression. We have developed a program that incorporates specific techniques attuned to body, mind and spirit. As depression is an emotional and psychological state that manifests physical symptoms, our therapists educate clients about the dynamics of the condition. We believe knowledge is power and when clients become fully informed, their perspectives on depression can be vastly broadened.
