Online therapy to tackle Depression & Low Mood

Support for depression, low mood, and emotional heaviness

Depression can show up in many ways, such as low mood, loss of motivation, difficulty concentrating, or feeling disconnected from the people around you. You might notice you’re withdrawing, struggling to make decisions, or finding it hard to enjoy things that used to feel meaningful.

Online counselling for depression with me offers a calm, steady space to talk through what you’re experiencing without pressure, judgement, or the need to explain everything perfectly.

I am based in Leeds but offer online sessions to people across the UK who want structured, compassionate support for depression and low mood.

How therapy can help with depression and low mood

Therapy can help you understand the patterns that maintain low mood and gives you tools to shift them. We work on thoughts, behaviours and emotional processes that keep you stuck, using evidence‑based approaches tailored to your needs.

Counselling with me can help with

  • Making sense of what’s behind your low mood

What sessions with me are like

Sessions for depression are steady, gentle, and grounded in the understanding that motivation, energy, and hope can fluctuate from week to week. You don’t need to arrive with a plan, a list, or even the “right words.” We start wherever you are at.

We can explore things together, at a pace that feels right for you.
