Many people describe depression as a “dark cloud” or a “fog,” while others liken it to walking through quicksand.

If you’re experiencing a loss of joy in activities you once loved, grappling with negative thoughts, feeling worthless, or having difficulty focusing, you’re not alone. It might seem overwhelming, and hope for improvement can feel far away.

But there is hope, and counselling can make a difference. Together, we will delve into your thoughts, behaviours, and physical sensations tied to your depression. We’ll work on reframing those negative thoughts and uncover new coping strategies. It’s entirely possible to feel better.
