Counselling for Depression - Gold Coast

What is Depression Counselling?
Depression counselling, or psychotherapy, is a structured talk therapy where a mental health professional helps you identify and manage the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that fuel your depression. It equips you with practical tools to break negative cycles, cope with stressors, and improve your daily quality of life.
Why Do I Feel Depressed?
Depression is commonly cause by internalising our stress or disappointment, instead of externalising it as frustration, anger or even words. Have you been feeling down? Flat? Blue or struggling with low energy and motivation?
Most of us have the occasional times where we might feel a bit down. However, many people – around one person in every five – will experience feeling depressed at some point in their life and surprisingly it can often manifest as anger!
Importantly, since covid the rates of depression and anxiety have been steadily rising. In the case of depression, many people think that it is only associated with people who are ‘unable to get out of bed’. But for many the symptoms of depression can be much more subtle.

★★★★★ Google Review 2021: Ghita identified that I had issues with authority after a relaxed chat. Returned for a 1 hour session and are experiencing a monumental shift. Feels like a sack of spuds has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel lighter in my joints and have continued to benefit by applying my new found calm when dealing with everybody, especially when guide my colleagues at work. I shall return for another session soon, to peel off the next layer. Ghita has a gift, enjoy! - Mike (Brisbane)
Negative Thinking/ Ruminating
Sometimes we say we are feeling frustrated or apathetic, rather than saying that we feel sad, vulnerable, powerless, ashamed or insecure. And whilst everyone feels ‘down' occasionally, if you've been moody, angry, unable to sleep, or concentrate, for more than a couple of weeks, it could be depression. Anger is a common symptom of depression.
No Doctor's Referral required
Online counselling is also available for busy people.
