“Nobody can go back and
start a new beginning.
Anybody can start today
and make a new ending.”

What is Depression?
Most of us will experience depression at some stage of our lives. For some people it is a minor interruption that inadvertently creates space for reflection and for others it is a debilitating experience that brings with it isolation and intense loneliness over an extended period of time.

There are many medical explanations for depression. Some explanations define depression as something that happens ‘to you’. This approach leaves you helpless to engage in your own recovery of life. However, there are other viewpoints on what depression is and how it can be treated. Another explanation is that depression comes about as a result of the self suppression of your expression. Although the origins of why we suppress ourselves may have occurred in the distant past, the actual suppressing takes place in the present.

If you are struggling with depression and are seeking a counsellor on the Gold Coast we can assist you to:

  • Implement strategies for recovery of your life.
  • Find ways to re-engage with yourself and with others.
  • Discover what is keeping you ‘stuck’ in your life.
  • Identify what triggers your depression and ways to support yourself.
  • Explore how you may be contributing to your depression and what you can do to support yourself.
  • Live a full and healthy life with engaging relationships.
