Depression Support & Coping Strategies

You don’t have to carry this on your own.

Depression can look different for everyone.

For some people, it’s loud and overwhelming. For others, it’s quiet, heavy, and isolating. Our support is tailored to your individual experience and may help with:

  • Persistent low mood, hopelessness, or emotional numbness

  • Loss of motivation, confidence, or direction

  • Overthinking, guilt, or feeling like a burden

  • Burnout, stress, or emotional shutdown

  • Depression alongside trauma, neurodiversity, or life transitions

You don’t need to be “at breaking point” to reach out. If things feel heavier than they should, that’s reason enough.

This support may be accessed through private arrangements or relevant funding pathways where applicable.

Our Approach:

We use a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and practical approach to depression support.

This means:

  • You are treated as a whole person, not a diagnosis

  • Sessions are paced to suit your capacity and energy

  • Strategies are realistic and usable in everyday life

  • We focus on understanding patterns, not judging them

  • We also support autistic and neurodivergent individuals experiencing depression, burnout, emotional exhaustion, or low mood linked to masking, trauma, or life transitions.

Where helpful, we support you to build coping tools, emotional regulation skills, and greater self-understanding — without overwhelming you.

What to Expect:
  • A confidential, non-judgemental space

  • Individualised support tailored to your needs

  • Practical strategies alongside emotional support

  • Ongoing care that adapts as you progress

Your first step can simply be a conversation.

FAQs:

What kind of depression support do you offer?

We provide specialised counselling for various forms of depression, including clinical depression, situational depression, and persistent low mood, tailored to your unique needs.

How are sessions structured?

We start with an initial consultation to discuss your background and challenges. Together, we create a personalised plan with regular follow-up sessions to monitor your progress and adjust strategies as needed.

What if I don’t know how to explain what I’m feeling?

You don’t need to have the right words, a clear explanation, or a plan. Many people start counselling feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or unable to put things into words. That’s okay. We’ll go at your pace, and part of the process is helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing — even if it feels confusing or hard to describe.

What if I need urgent support?

If you are in immediate danger or at risk of harm to yourself or others, please call 000 straight away.
