Persistent low mood
Support for ongoing sadness, emotional heaviness, and the feeling that each day blends into the next without much sense of progress.
Depression Counselling
Depression Counselling in Brighton & Hove
Feeling stuck, numb or overwhelmed? Support that meets you where you are. Depression can quietly drain the colour from everyday life. Things that once felt manageable can start to feel heavy, distant or pointless, and even small tasks may take more than you can give.
You might not always feel "sad." In fact, it's common for depression to show up as exhaustion, emptiness, irritability, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and the people around you.
Through counselling, we create a steady space where you can slow things down and make sense of what you're experiencing, so you can move towards a better future at a realistic, sustainable pace.
Areas I commonly help with
Depression rarely presents in just one way
It might feel like constant mental fog, loss of motivation, ongoing fatigue, or a growing sense of hopelessness, alongside changes in sleep, appetite, concentration and confidence. Together we'll introduce small, manageable changes that support long‑term improvement.
Loss of interest & motivation
Help with lack of drive, reduced enjoyment in daily activities, and difficulty starting or finishing tasks.
Isolation & emotional disconnection
Support for withdrawing from others, feeling numb, or struggling to feel engaged with life and relationships.
Grounded in real experience
It isn't something to simply push through with willpower
My work is shaped by both lived experience and professional training, which means I understand how complex and personal depression can be. It isn't just a mindset issue.
Rather than analysing every thought endlessly, we focus on what's actually impacting your daily life right now, your energy levels, routines, relationships, or the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
Our sessions are structured but flexible. We use straightforward, intentional exercises to help you regain a sense of direction and rebuild emotional resilience, so you can gradually reconnect with the parts of life that feel distant.
