Depression Counselling in Ipswich & Suffolk

Therapist for Depression

Depression can be a normal response to difficult situations in your life. Common manifestations of depression include a dismal mood, lack of interest and pleasure, and feelings of low self-esteem. These feelings can lead to a loss of energy, sleep, appetite, motivation and concentration. 

The condition might be mild or severe, but in any form, it’s a different sensation to simply feeling down or sad. We all feel temporarily sad every now and then, but depression has a tendency to stay put once it has a hold over you – it’s the black cloud that follows you around everywhere. 

While your doctor might prescribe you anti-depressant medication, this only papers over the cracks and doesn’t fix the root cause of your depression. Getting a consistent psychotherapist for your depression treatment can make a world of difference.

What can cause Depression?

Many first experience severe depression from a major traumatic event in their lives, such as a diagnosis of a physical illness like cancer or heart disease, experiences of grief and bereavement, or facing financial problems and unemployment. Depression might be further rooted in negative childhood experiences, relationship complications or a general sense of alienation.

Perhaps it is not immediately obvious what has caused your depression, or you might be reluctant to admit that you’re suffering from it due to social stigma, but our Human Givens depression psychotherapist will help you to identify which essential emotional or physical need you are missing in your life, which may turn out to be the catalyst for your worsening mental health condition. With an area or areas pinpointed, our treatment will guide you into getting your body and mind back into balance.
