Depression and low mood counselling
Support when motivation and meaning feel distant
Low mood can feel heavy, draining, or empty. You may feel withdrawn, numb, tearful, or critical of yourself — sometimes without a clear reason. Even everyday tasks can begin to feel like too much.
Counselling offers a respectful space to explore these experiences without pressure to “cheer up”, explain yourself perfectly, or force change before you are ready.
What this counselling focuses on
emotional heaviness, flatness, or numbness
loss of motivation, pleasure, or connection
self-criticism, hopelessness, or shame
making sense of what your mood may be responding to
rebuilding meaning and steadier self-support over time
Who this may be helpful for
This may help if low mood is affecting daily life, relationships, self-worth, or your ability to function as you would like.
When this may not be the right suppor
Where immediate risk, urgent safeguarding concerns, or medical intervention is required, other services may be more appropriate.
What working with our service looks like
Weekly 50-minute sessions, online or face-to-face, delivered within our ethical and clinical governance framework.
If low mood has been present for a while and feels hard to shift, counselling can offer a steadier space to begin.
We are not a crisis or emergency service and cannot provide urgent or intensive mental health care. Counselling is offered within clearly defined ethical and clinical boundaries.
