Depression & Mood Disorders
Mental health concerns often overlap and evolve. We focus on the underlying processes that sustain distress, not just symptom presentation.
Overview
Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent low mood, reduced interest or pleasure, and a range of cognitive, behavioural, and physical symptoms. It is often maintained by interacting processes such as negative thinking patterns, behavioural withdrawal, and self-critical internal dialogue.
Signs and Symptoms
- Persistent low mood
- Loss of interest (Anhedonia)
- Fatigue & reduced motivation
- Feelings of worthlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep & appetite disturbances
- Psychomotor changes
- Suicidal ideation
When to Seek Help?
If symptoms persist for more than two weeks, interfere with daily functioning, or involve thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a professional immediately.
Treatment Approach
Our psychotherapy-focused approach utilizes evidence-based methods tailored to individual needs:
Targets negative automatic thoughts and core beliefs, addressing the inactivity–low mood cycle.
Focuses on interpersonal contexts such as grief, role transitions, and relational conflicts.
Promotes psychological flexibility by helping individuals engage in values-based actions despite distress.
Relevant for presentations marked by shame and self-criticism, activating the soothing system.
Targets rumination and cognitive reactivity, with strong evidence for relapse prevention.
Enhances coping and emotional processing, often used as an adjunct to other treatments.
