Understanding Depression and ‘The Black Dog’
The term ‘black dog’, famously used by Sir Winston Churchill, symbolises the periods of darkness and withdrawal associated with depression. This condition can be a standalone mental health issue or part of other Illnesses. Factors like life events, childhood experiences, and neurological nuences are common contributors to depression.
Our Approach to Depression Psychotherapy
Our treatment for depression includes a range of therapies tailored to suit your individual needs. These include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), available in group, individual, and remote settings.
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
- Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT).
- Somatic & Mind Body Psychotherapy.

- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Typically related to seasonal weather changes.
- Alexitymia: The inability to feel and express positive emotions like joy or excitement
- Dysthymia: Also known as persistent depressive disorder or chronic depression.
