DEPRESSION SUPPORT

Depression Therapy

Depression can drain your energy, your interest in things you used to enjoy and your sense of hope. Therapy offers a steady space to understand what you are carrying and take small, realistic steps back towards yourself, online from anywhere or in person with select therapists.

How therapy helps

Evidence-based, tailored to you

Your therapist adapts the approach to your needs, and not every therapist uses every method.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Helps you notice and gently challenge the harsh, hopeless thoughts depression brings, and change the patterns that keep it going.

Behavioural activation

Rebuilds energy and motivation by planning small, meaningful activities, one manageable step at a time.

Relationships & life changes

Looks at relationships, losses and transitions that may be linked to how you feel, drawing on interpersonal approaches.

Compassion & mindfulness

Eases self-criticism and builds skills that help prevent low mood from returning.

FAQ

Common questions

Low mood that lasts most of the day, nearly every day for two weeks or more, or that affects your work, relationships or self-care, is worth talking about. You don't need to be sure before reaching out; a therapist can help you make sense of it.
Yes. Talking therapies such as CBT, behavioural activation and interpersonal therapy are well-established treatments for depression, and they can be delivered online or in person.
Our therapists do not prescribe medication. For moderate to severe depression, therapy alongside medication is often recommended, so your therapist may suggest seeing a psychiatrist or doctor. Therapy can continue alongside it.
That is very common with depression. Starting can be as small as taking the matching quiz or sending us a message. Online sessions let you join from home, and your therapist will move at a pace that feels manageable.
Yes. We recommend a therapist based on your matching quiz, and you can also browse our therapist directory and choose someone yourself.
