Is Therapy Worth It?

One of the questions we are often asked at My Practice is: Is therapy worth it? Research has found that counselling can help people achieve greater success in their personal and professional lives, including happier relationships, more fulfilling careers, and financial success. If you are stressed, depressed, having trouble sleeping, or generally feel that your mental health could improve, therapy is an investment worth making.

Depression is A Signpost, Not the Core Issue

Jonathan Riley

When we experience depression, it’s natural to want to find a way to get rid of it as quickly as possible. The heavy feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness can be overwhelming, and it’s tempting to think that if we could just stop feeling depressed, everything would be okay. But what if depression is more […]

The Impact of Depression on Our Relationships

Jonathan Riley

Depression doesn’t just affect how we feel inside; it can also have a significant impact on our relationships with those around us. Whether it’s our partners, family, or friends, depression can create barriers that make it harder to connect, communicate, and maintain the bonds that are so important to us. Understanding how depression affects our […]

How Physical Health Problems Can Lead to Depression

Jonathan Riley

When we think about depression, we often focus on the emotional and mental aspects, but our physical health can play a significant role as well. It’s easy to overlook the connection between our bodies and our minds, but the two are closely linked. When we’re dealing with physical health problems, it can have a significant […]

The Link Between Depression and Anxiety

Jonathan Riley

When we talk about mental health, depression and anxiety often come up together. It’s not uncommon for us to experience both at the same time, and it can be confusing to understand how they’re connected. We might wonder if one causes the other or if they’re just two sides of the same coin. Understanding the […]

How Stress Can Lead to Depression

Jonathan Riley

We often hear about how stress affects our lives, from making us feel anxious to causing physical health problems. But what about its connection to depression? Can stress really lead us down the path to depression? The answer is yes, and it’s something that many of us may experience without even realising it. Understanding how […]

Why Do We Get Depressed?

Jonathan Riley

Depression can be a difficult and confusing experience, leaving us with a heavy sense of sadness or emptiness that can be hard to shake. We might wonder, “Why do I feel this way?” Understanding the causes of depression can be the first step toward making sense of our feelings, even if it’s not always easy […]

Is Depression a Normal Part of Life?

Jonathan Riley

We often hear, “Everyone feels sad sometimes,” and that’s true. Sadness is a normal part of life. But what about depression? Is it just a stronger version of sadness, or is it something different? Understanding this can help us better grasp how emotions affect our mental health. We need to recognise that while sadness comes […]

How to Identify Depression

Jonathan Riley

Depression is a complex and often misunderstood condition. It’s more than just feeling sad or having a rough day. The symptoms of depression can be varied and pervasive, affecting not just our mood, but also our thoughts, behaviours, and even our physical well-being. Let’s explore these symptoms together to better understand what depression can look […]

Is It Sadness or Depression?

Jonathan Riley

We all feel sad sometimes. It’s a normal reaction to life’s changes, like losing a job, going through a breakup, or watching a sad movie. But sadness and depression are not the same thing, even though they can feel similar at times. Understanding the difference is important for recognising when someone might need more than […]

What You Need to Know About Depression

Jonathan Riley

Depression is a term we hear often, but what does it really mean? For many, depression can be an overwhelming and confusing experience, and understanding it can be the first step towards addressing it. Depression isn’t just feeling sad or down for a few days. It’s a persistent feeling of

Do I Need Therapy?

Life is full of ups and downs, problems and challenges. It’s common to wonder if you actually need therapy. Admitting that you need help and reaching out can help you get back on track. Going to therapy isn’t a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It’s also important to understand that you don’t need to have a diagnosed mental health condition in order to benefit from therapy.
