Depression Counselling: Our Approach:
Understanding and Managing Depression
Depression can be a debilitating condition that can affect all aspects of an individual’s life. It can lead to feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and worthlessness, and can interfere with work, relationships, and daily activities. At Balance and Bloom, we understand the impact that depression can have on individuals and we take a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to working with clients who are struggling with this condition.

Understanding Depression and Its Impact
At Balance and Bloom, we offer therapy that aims to help individuals overcome depression through compassionate support and a range of evidence-based therapies.
During our depression counselling therapy, we approach depression from the models of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide our clients with the most effective interventions.
Evidence-based Therapeutic Approaches for Depression
Cognitive Beahaviour Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thoughts and behaviours that contribute to depression. This approach involves working with our clients to identify the negative patterns of thinking that maintain their depression, and then developing strategies to challenge and reframe those thoughts in a more positive way. By changing negative thoughts and behaviours, our clients can begin to experience a reduction in depressive symptoms and an increase in overall wellbeing.
Overcoming Depression using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
While traditional forms of therapy may focus on trying to eliminate or reduce negative thoughts and emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) instead emphasises acceptance and mindfulness as well as working on your values and committed actions and behaviors. Our experienced therapists work with individuals to help them accept their thoughts and feelings and develop a greater sense of control over their lives. By learning to manage depressive symptoms more effectively, individuals can find greater peace and fulfillment in their daily lives.
Tailored Treatment Plans: Depression Counselling for Individual Needs and Goals
At Balance and Bloom, we understand that depression can affect individuals in different ways, and we tailor our depression counselling approach to meet the needs and goals of each client. We take a compassionate approach and work with the client’s current level of functioning, whether they are bed-ridden or are high-functioning and masking their depression.
Our professionals work collaboratively with clients to develop individualised treatment plans that focus on the client’s unique needs and goals. We understand that the journey to recovery from depression can be challenging, but we are committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment to help our clients build a more fulfilling life.
