Let's get to the ROOT of why you think, feel & behave the way you do. Whilst meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, journalling, good routines, etc. are helpful strategies, we need to really understand YOUR depression/anxiety first. Once we have processed & understood it, then you can begin to HEAL and find PEACE.

I have found narrative & psychodynamic therapy especially to be incredibly powerful in creating sustainable change in clients. EMDR, CBT & ACT can also be useful with certain issues. Being able to know which modality to use at the right time takes experience. Creating a safe & non-judgemental space to explore together is my priority. I am ethically honest if I am not qualified or suitable to help.
