Low mood narrows your world — fewer things feel worth doing, fewer people feel worth seeing. CBT helps you widen it again, one step at a time.

Depression isn't just feeling sad. It changes how you think, how you move, how you see yourself.
You wake up tired no matter how much you sleep, and the day already feels like too much before it's even started.
Things you used to enjoy — hobbies, friends, going out — don't feel worth the effort anymore.
You keep telling yourself you should be able to just snap out of it, and feel worse when you can't.
Small decisions feel enormous. You put things off, fall behind, then beat yourself up for falling behind.
You withdraw from people — not because you don't care, but because being around them takes energy you don't have.
There's a voice in your head that says you're not good enough, and some days it's louder than everything else.
Depression creates a trap: the less you do, the worse you feel, and the worse you feel, the less you do. CBT helps you break that cycle — not by forcing yourself to "think positive", but by understanding what keeps the cycle going and making small, practical changes.
We work on two things together: what you do (gradually rebuilding activity that gives you energy or a sense of achievement) and how you think (noticing the patterns that drag your mood down and learning to respond to them differently).
Most courses run 8 to 16 sessions. We set clear goals and review progress openly, so you always know where you are.
You don't need motivation to start. That comes later.
Fifteen minutes, no obligation. Tell me what's going on. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
I'll ask about your mood — when it changed, what makes it worse, what a typical day looks like now. We'll build a shared picture and set goals together.
You'll begin rebuilding activity — nothing overwhelming, just small steps that start to shift how you feel. We'll also start noticing the thinking patterns that pull you down.
As you build momentum, we tackle deeper patterns. The aim is always to finish — to leave you with skills that last, not a dependency on therapy.
Depression creates a vicious cycle: low mood leads to withdrawal, which removes the things that used to give you energy or pleasure, which makes the mood worse. CBT helps you break that cycle — gradually rebuilding activity and challenging the thinking patterns that keep you stuck.
Most people notice meaningful changes within 8 to 16 sessions. We set clear goals and review progress openly, so you always know where you are.
Low mood is something everyone experiences — it usually passes within a couple of weeks. When it lasts longer, starts affecting your daily life, and doesn't lift on its own, it may have become depression. Either way, if it's getting in the way, it's worth talking about.
Yes. Low motivation is one of the main symptoms of depression, not a character flaw. CBT is designed to work with that — we start small and build gradually, so you don't need motivation to begin.
No. You can book directly, and we can usually start within one to two weeks. No referral, no waiting list.
