Support for Depression and Low Mood

​

Living with depression or persistent low mood can feel isolating, overwhelming, and exhausting. You may struggle to find motivation, feel disconnected from yourself or others, or experience a sense of hopelessness. If depression is affecting your wellbeing, relationships, work, or daily life, counselling can offer understanding, support, and strategies to cope.

​

I offer depression and low mood counselling in Lincoln and online therapy across the UK for teenagers and adults, providing a safe, confidential space to explore your experiences and begin to feel more supported and resilient.

​

Understanding Depression

​

Depression is more than just feeling sad. It can affect emotions, thoughts, behaviour, and physical wellbeing. Many people live with depression for years without seeking support, which can intensify feelings of isolation and hopelessness.

​

Common types of depression include:

​

• Persistent low mood

• Major depressive episodes

• Seasonal affective changes

• Postnatal depression (for adults)

• Depression linked to life transitions or trauma

​​

Common Symptoms of Depression

​

Depression can manifest in a variety of ways, including:

​

Emotional and psychological symptoms:

• Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness

• Irritability or emotional numbness

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

​​

Behavioural symptoms:

• Withdrawal from social situations or activities

• Reduced motivation or productivity

• Changes in eating or sleeping patterns

• Self-critical thoughts or feelings of guilt

​​

Physical symptoms:

• Fatigue or low energy

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Sleep disturbances

• Aches, pain, or other physical issues

​​

The Impact of Depression

​

Depression can affect many areas of life:

​

• Relationships with family, friends, and colleagues

• Work, school, or academic performance

• Self-confidence and decision-making

• Emotional regulation and coping

• Overall physical and mental wellbeing

​​

For teenagers, depression may impact school performance, friendships, emotional regulation, and identity development. For adults, it may contribute to chronic low mood, relationship challenges, and difficulties managing life transitions.

​

How Counselling Can Help with Depression

​

Counselling provides a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, understand patterns, and develop practical strategies to improve wellbeing. I work collaboratively, tailoring therapy to your needs and pace.

​

My approach may include:

​

• Exploring underlying causes and triggers of low mood

• Identifying unhelpful thinking patterns

• Building coping strategies and resilience

• Supporting self-compassion, self-esteem, and emotional regulation

• Providing guidance for managing life transitions

​​

I draw on integrative counselling, including CBT, DBT, person-centred therapy, psychotherapy, and creative approaches where helpful.

​

Depression Counselling for Teenagers

​

Teenagers may experience depression linked to school pressures, peer relationships, identity challenges, or emotional regulation difficulties. I offer counselling for teenagers, providing a safe, supportive environment to process feelings, develop coping skills, and improve wellbeing.
