Depression can make even everyday tasks feel impossible. At Cranmore Counselling in Belfast, we offer empathetic, professional therapy to help you manage low mood, hopelessness, and loss of motivation. Using techniques like CBT, we work together to help you rediscover a sense of hope and purpose.

When you are depressed you can feel very sad, hopeless, and unimportant and often unable to live in a normal way.  ‘What’s the point’ becomes a common thought and also you can be very self critical.

You may have difficulty concentrating, making decisions and have a tendency to procrastinate.  Usually enjoyed activities no longer have the same appeal and you may struggle to feel a sense of achievement on a daily basis. You may even have frequent thoughts of taking your life and worry about being a burden on others.  Depression can also be closely associated with anxiety.

CBT which is compassion focussed can help lift your mood and return to the life you want to live by addressing the thoughts and behaviours attributing to and maintaining your mood.
