Do you have feelings of sadness and hopelessness, problems sleeping or are you experiencing a loss of energy and interest in daily activities? Feeling sad or having mood swings are just normal reactions to the ups and downs of life that everybody experiences. But if emptiness, worthlessness and helplessness have taken hold of your life and will not go away, you may be suffering from depression.

Most often, depression interferes with one's daily life and causes distress for both you and those who care about you. It makes it tough to function and enjoy your day-to-day life. You can no longer work, study, eat, sleep and enjoy life like you once did. Some even experience depression that is like living in "a black hole".

Our therapy for depression is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's your automatic dysfunctional thinking that perpetuates your depression. It keeps you in a downwards spiral of negative thoughts about yourself and the world around you. With the guidance of our online therapy program for depression and your therapist, you will learn that these negative thoughts are not reality. Rather, they are dysfunctional beliefs about your self and your life, and are something that can be replaced with more realistic and healthier ways of thinking. Using CBT you will learn coping strategies, so that you eventually will be able to face previously feared situations without getting anxious or feeling depressed. The focus of the therapy is not on the past and what caused your depression symptoms. Your therapist will work on making you feel better about yourself, here and now - and in the future.

"I was a bit nervous to try online therapy, but have been pleasantly surprised with my therapists professionalism and the ease of talking via video. I am learning legitimate tools and practices to use in my daily life. If you're on the fence, give it a try, and you can always stop if it's not working for you."

"While I wish that I could have a live, in-person therapist, my lifestyle (I move around a lot) and lack of comprehensive healthcare coverage makes this impossible. This is the next best option. While it isn't perfect, it's been a good supplement to have an emotional outlet and sounding board as I've been struggling with my mental health over the past year."

"All good so far but I don’t feel particularly motivated to test the resources of the rest of the website despite now taking sessions for weeks"

"To be honest, I misread when I signed up and was expecting to have some phsychotherapy elements in this. It is purely CBT based, which is effective and good, particularly because the therapists ask for clarity and are a bit more personable that your average NHS CBT therapist (in my experience). However, I am stretching my finances to be able to afford this, even by applying for reduced rate (which I AM grateful for!). I would recommend, but not for everyone, nor for all pockets."
