Do you have feelings of sadness and hopelessness, problems sleeping or are you experiencing a loss of energy and interest in daily activities? Feeling sad or having mood swings are just normal reactions to the ups and downs of life that everybody experiences. But if emptiness, worthlessness and helplessness have taken hold of your life and will not go away, you may be suffering from depression.

Most often, depression interferes with one's daily life and causes distress for both you and those who care about you. It makes it tough to function and enjoy your day-to-day life. You can no longer work, study, eat, sleep and enjoy life like you once did. Some even experience depression that is like living in "a black hole".

Our therapy for depression is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's your automatic dysfunctional thinking that perpetuates your depression. It keeps you in a downwards spiral of negative thoughts about yourself and the world around you. With the guidance of our online therapy program for depression and your therapist, you will learn that these negative thoughts are not reality. Rather, they are dysfunctional beliefs about your self and your life, and are something that can be replaced with more realistic and healthier ways of thinking. Using CBT you will learn coping strategies, so that you eventually will be able to face previously feared situations without getting anxious or feeling depressed. The focus of the therapy is not on the past and what caused your depression symptoms. Your therapist will work on making you feel better about yourself, here and now - and in the future.

"Belinda is a really responsive therapist (even “out of hours”). I’ve only signed up for the worksheets and messaging service but I’ve got so much out of this so far. It’s obviously a very personal journey. I’ve been very active sometimes and then others less so - taking a step back to just take things in - Belinda reads this brilliantly. She is very supportive and reassuring."

"I really enjoy my therapist, having continuous work to do in between sessions to maintain focus, and love the chat feature.
I do wish the booking feature was sorted out a little bit better. Sometimes therapists need the patients to reschedule but the website interface doesn't allow."

"My therapist, Tina, is amazing and she has been like a breath of fresh air for me. She genuinely has been helping me so much. And she has been helping me and my partner, so so much. We feel better connected already."

"Finding the right counsellor for you is key. Online therapy gives you that choice at an affordable price and is very flexible for busy lifestyles. I've used counsellors through this site many of times and will continue to do so when needed."
