Therapy for Depression in Surrey

Counselling for Low Mood, Disconnection, and Emotional Fatigue

Depression doesn’t always feel like sadness. Sometimes it feels like flatness, like effort, like being unable to care. You might be getting through your days, showing up at work or caring for others, but feel like you’re slowly fading inside. Or you may feel shut down, unmotivated, and unsure of when you last felt like yourself.

Depression can affect how you move, think, speak, and connect. It can distort your sense of time, drain your energy, and leave you disconnected from your body and emotions. And when rest doesn’t help, it’s easy to start believing that nothing will.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Our depression therapists offer counselling that respects your pace, your lived experience, and the complexity of what you’re carrying.

How Depression Can Show Up

Depression is not one thing. It can feel different for each person, and it often hides behind other symptoms.

Common experiences include:

  • Emotional numbness or shutdown

  • Difficulty feeling joy, even in things that used to matter

  • Chronic fatigue or sleep disruption

  • Low motivation or the sense that everything is effortful

  • Irritability, guilt, or feelings of worthlessness

  • Withdrawing from relationships or losing interest in connection

  • Feeling like you’re letting others down, even when you’re trying

  • Wondering if you’re just lazy, ungrateful, or broken

These are not personal failings. They are signs that your system may be carrying more than it can manage alone.

Depression Therapists in Surrey

Therapies Our Depression Therapists Use

Our depression therapists in Surrey use evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches tailored to your experience. These therapies address not only symptoms but also the underlying nervous system patterns, protective responses, and emotional disconnection that often accompany depression.

EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Supports reprocessing of past experiences and beliefs that contribute to hopelessness, low self-worth, or emotional shutdown.

IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy)

Helps you understand and work with internal parts that may criticize, avoid, or shut down — while reconnecting with parts of you that still hold strength, care, or curiosity.

AEDP and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Together, these approaches support emotional awareness, co-regulation, and transformation. They help you stay with emotional experience long enough for it to shift, especially when depression stems from emotional suppression, unmet needs, or relational wounding.

Somatic and Body-Based Therapies

Focus on physical symptoms of depression like fatigue, collapse, or disconnection. These tools support nervous system regulation, grounding, and embodied awareness.

Depression often responds poorly to advice or logic. You may already know the things that are supposed to help — exercise, sleep, journaling — but still feel stuck.

Therapy offers something different:

  • A relationship that doesn’t expect you to be okay

  • A place where emotional flatness is met with curiosity, not pressure

  • A chance to feel seen without having to explain everything

  • A slower pace, where something can start to shift on its own

For many clients, depression is not just a mood problem. It’s a nervous system response, a survival strategy, or a long-standing adaptation that needs care, not fixing.
