Therapy for Depression

Depression Counselling at Life Care Counselling Centre provides a safe, understanding, and non-judgmental space for individuals struggling with persistent sadness, emptiness, or loss of interest in daily life. Our experienced therapists and psychologists work closely with clients to explore the root causes of depression, manage symptoms, and rebuild emotional strength through evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Therapy, Schema Therapy, and EMDR techniques.

Depression is more than just feeling low – it can affect your thoughts, sleep, energy levels, relationships, and ability to function. Through structured psychotherapy and compassionate guidance, we help individuals regain hope, motivation, and a renewed sense of balance in life.
