    Our Depression Therapists Are Here To Help

    The Perth counsellors and psychotherapists at the Energetics Institute work with people living with low mood, numbness, anxiety and the ongoing impact of stress or trauma. In counselling sessions you can talk openly about your mental health concerns, everyday life and relationships, and feel heard without judgement.

    We focus on how depression affects your emotions, thoughts, body and behaviour, not just on a label or diagnosis. Together we explore the factors that may contribute to depression and develop practical strategies to support well being, self esteem and positive change.

    Key Information You Should Know

    Depression is a common mental health issue that can affect motivation, sleep, appetite, energy, interest in activities and connection with loved ones. It is not a sign of weakness and it is treatable.

    You do not need to wait until things feel unbearable. Counselling can help if symptoms last more than two weeks or start to affect work, study, health or relationships. If you or a loved one has thoughts of self harm or suicide, contact emergency services or a crisis line first, then consider therapy for ongoing support.

    How Do I Know If I Have Depression?

    You may have depression if changes in mood, energy and thinking make everyday life feel hard most days. People who come to Energetics Institute often describe waking tired or flat, losing interest in once enjoyable activities, feeling stuck in negative thinking or self criticism, and struggling to make decisions or concentrate.

    Depression can arise from trauma, loss, chronic illness, family patterns, ongoing stress or biological vulnerability, and you do not need a clear reason to seek help.

    Symptoms Of Depression Can Include

    • Feeling persistently sad, empty, flat or numb
    • Losing interest in work, study, hobbies or social life
    • Ongoing hopelessness, despair or worthlessness
    • Irritability, anxiety or a sense of dread
    • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
    • Low motivation and reduced energy
    • Withdrawing from friends, family or community
    • Changes in appetite or sleep patterns

    Treatment And Support For Depression

    Depression treatment at Energetics Institute is tailored to you. Your therapist may draw on cognitive behavioural therapy, body oriented and somatic psychotherapy, trauma informed therapy, attachment focused work and mindfulness based strategies.

    Together you will learn ways to cope with symptoms, regulate your nervous system, improve self esteem and rebuild confidence in everyday life.
