Hello, my name is Nettie. I am a qualified psycho-therapeutic counsellor with over 8 years’ experience. Do you feel that past events are affecting how you cope with life today? Do you struggle with any of these: low mood;
depression
; anxiety; panic attacks; stress; low self-esteem; lack of self-confidence; loss, not feeling validated, anger-related issues and the effects of trauma and at times it feels so overwhelming that you find it's too much and you're struggling to cope? Do you feel you're at a crossroads in your life and you're not sure in which direction to go? You want to feel better but aren't quite sure how to get there.

Are you struggling with yourself or life right now? You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or
depressed
, or even struggling with a life/work balance. Recent times have been challenging and negatively impacted many people. Sometimes, speaking to family and friends just doesn't seem enough. However, with the right support, you can definitely thrive, discovering your strengths and forge a more positive way forward. Imagining being the driver of your life, where you are in control, instead of a back seat passenger of your life.

Person centred approach to recurrent
depression
and long term conditions such as fibromyalgia.
Great, you have already taken the first steps for you. I am not the expert on you, you are. I am here to support and explore with you what you maybe finding difficult or just not feeling Ok. This may be in your relationships, in your physical body or you are finding both these things are overwhelming sometimes. Together we can wonder, ponder and educate ourselves and understand, why? Then we can make a strategy and build on your already available resilience (you are here remember), and improve this together. This maybe just a few sessions, sometimes just one or a little longer if you need this.

Depression Counsellors
Depressive disorders are characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness and a lack of desire to engage in formerly pleasurable activities. Depression is not a passing blue mood, which almost everyone experiences from time to time, but a complex mind/body illness that interferes with everyday functioning. It not only darkens one's outlook, it is commonly marked by sleep problems and changes in energy levels and appetite. It alters the structure and function of nerve cells so that it disrupts the way the brain processes information and interprets experience.
Despite feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, depression is a treatable condition. It can be treated with psychotherapy by depression counsellors in Canterbury. As with many illnesses, the earlier treatment begins, the more effective it can be and the greater the likelihood that recurrence can be prevented.
Psychotherapy addresses the thinking patterns that precipitate depression, and studies show that it prevents recurrence. Drug therapy is often helpful in relieving symptoms, such as severe anxiety, so that people can engage in meaningful psychotherapy.
