DEPRESSION

Am I depressed?

How do you know whether you are depressed?

There are countless situations that can occur in one’s life that can trigger feelings of grief, despair, anger, resignation, and other such unpleasant and even depressed feelings. Thus, depression can be a normal response to adversity and loss.

There are two key distinctions between what can be considered a “normal” depression and one that requires active intervention: how bad things get, and for how long. When the experience of depression is so powerful that it warps your view of yourself and your life in negative ways, leading you to make bad and even self-destructive decisions, then your depression is no longer “normal.”

A clinical interview with a GP is still widely considered the most reliable means of determining whether someone is depressed simply because of how much symptoms can vary from person to person.

What my patients say...

“... our sessions. I found them hugely insightful, and that they helped me to navigate to a better understanding of myself, my emotions, and my coping mechanisms. In turn, I now feel I have more of a choice/ability to self-determine when presented with difficult situations. I feel like I am on a much surer footing for embarking on couples therapy with my wife and have much greater confidence that the challenges in my relationship can be overcome. Thank you!

Simon – UK

“Tanya has helped us both as a couple dealing with the problems caused by compulsive sexual behavior both as an addict with a history of ADHD and also as an affected partner. Her caring and practical approach using a variety of therapy tools, together with her knowledge of neurodiversity has helped us recover our life together. We now better understand each other as individuals and as a couple. Her use of neurofeedback therapy to treat ADHD issues has helped us immensely.”

Brian & Alison – Hampshire

“Tanya helped to calm my anxiety during lockdown via zoom. I was in the late stages of pregnancy and was experiencing anxiety about the birth as restrictions were in place re birth partners and I was afraid of being alone. I also have an underlying fear of being sick. Working with Tanya helped me to relax and make the best of a magical period in my life and I would not hesitate to turn to her in the future and would recommend her.”

“I have been to many different therapists to control my addiction. In a very few sessions Tanya helped me see me understand how and why I do what I do. She also included some Hypnotherapy which seemed to help me control my impulses – but also start to create a picture of where I was going. I now have the tools to take the next steps.”

“Having suffered from depression most of my life I didn’t have any high expectations though I badly wanted to feel better in myself. I would highly recommend Tanya and I haven’t stopped singing her praises. Although I still have some ups and down, they don’t overwhelm me as I have the tools to deal with it now.”

“Since the Covid pandemic I knew that I had to find an alternative method to dealing with my needle phobia which wasn’t crying, panic attacks and fainting. I thought I would never be able to feel better or even look at a needle. But through hypnotherapy and desensitisation techniques, Tanya has helped me face my fears. I’m so proud! I even had the courage to hold a needle, something I never thought would happen! She has made me feel confident, and I now don’t feel the need to avoid needles.”

“When I came to you, I had lost a relationship through porn and was spending way more money than I had. Now I understand the background to my addiction it has helped me in all areas of my life – including a new relationship with a much deeper level of communication”

Male ,44 years - Depression and Addiction

“Cheers – although I still use porn, I’ve stopped using it as much and prostitutes – I know the porn may have to go at some point but at least I now understand the science behind it and what I am up against and at least now I feel I am making choices.”
