Depression
Depression is not an illness and you are not born depressed.
I keep up-to-date and reliable evidence of results for all my counselling clients. I know that well over 80% of clients who come to me for counselling with moderate or severe depression recover quickly, normally within less than six sessions. Most can scarcely believe it but you can be confident of real help.
There is fast help for you.
Counselling For Depression
Stepping stones to your recovery:
- Reduce arousal so sleep improves.
- Take small steps to get needs met.
- Identify and then shift any unhelpful patterns.
- Challenge negative beliefs.

GPs View On Anti-Depressants
(Mental Health Foundation)
- GPs are lukewarm in their attitude to anti-depressants. 71% believe them to be ‘quite
 effective’ but 57% say they are over-prescribed.
- 55% of GPs prescribe anti-depressants as their first treatment response for mild or moderate depression, although only 35% believe anti-depressant medication is the most effective intervention for these conditions.
- 42% of GPs feel that most patients given anti-depressants would be as likely to get better if they were unknowingly prescribed a placebo.
- 78% of GPs have prescribed an anti-depressant in the last three years despite believing that an alternative treatment might have been more appropriate.

Testimonials
"I am increasingly taking a contrary view to the majority of those there who say “once a depressive always a depressive”. I don’t want to believe that and I am improved for thinking in the positive way that you have advocated." <--more from Harold-->
I have been doing a new type of work (driving a mobile exhibition and road show for a diabetes charity) which, while it has its own stresses, they are not the same as those associated with my normal work. Your guidance has helped my wife and I deal better with the depression – and each other – and we are progressing nicely, I think. I go to the Depression Alliance meetings still but I am increasingly taking a contrary view to the majority of those there who say “once a depressive always a depressive”. I don’t want to believe that and I am improved for thinking in the positive way that you have advocated. I am much livelier, more social and have been throwing myself in some long outstanding DIY projects. I am sleeping well most nights too. Overall the word would be energised. Much of this is, I feel, down to our sessions for which I thank you again. Perhaps I can stay in touch as things continue to progress
