What we help with

Online therapy for depression and low mood

Depression is more than sadness. It can feel like heaviness, numbness or tiredness that rest does not fix. Things you used to enjoy stop being enjoyable, and small tasks start to feel enormous.

Signs you might recognise

It is not a weakness or something to snap out of. It is a common health condition, and talking therapy is one of the best-supported ways to treat it.

Recognising yourself in a few of these does not mean something is wrong with you. It means it may be worth a conversation.

  • Low, empty or hopeless mood most of the day
  • Losing interest in things you normally enjoy
  • Sleeping far more or far less than usual
  • Little energy, even after rest
  • Being hard on yourself or feeling like a burden
  • Trouble concentrating or making decisions

How therapy helps

Your therapist will suggest an approach based on what you want to change. Common ones include:

  • 1

    Behavioural activation

    Rebuild routine and small sources of meaning step by step, so mood follows action rather than the other way round.

  • 2

    Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

    Notice the harsh inner commentary depression brings, and learn to answer it fairly.

    How it works

  • 3

    Interpersonal therapy (IPT)

    Look at the relationships and life changes that are tied to how you feel.

    How it works

Three things you can try today

  1. Pick one small thing a day that used to matter to you and do it, even without motivation.
  2. Get daylight and a short walk early in the day if you can.
  3. Tell one person you trust how things really are.

Common questions

How do I know if I am depressed or just sad?

Sadness comes and goes and usually has a reason. Depression lasts for two weeks or more, colours most of the day, and takes the pleasure out of things you normally enjoy. Only a professional can diagnose it, but the PHQ-9 self-test can help you decide whether to seek support.

Does therapy work for depression without medication?

For many people with mild to moderate depression, talking therapy on its own is effective. For more severe depression a combination of therapy and medication is often recommended. Your therapist can help you think this through and will suggest seeing a doctor where appropriate.

What if I do not have the energy for therapy?

That is common, and therapists expect it. Online sessions remove the journey, and early sessions focus on very small steps. Showing up as you are is enough.
