Living with depression can feel overwhelming. It may drain your energy, affect relationships, and make daily tasks seem impossible. If you are struggling with low mood, hopelessness, or loss of motivation, counselling can help you find a way forward.

At Cambridge & Ely Psychotherapy Service – Peterborough, we offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings, understand the roots of your depression, and develop strategies to cope.

Common Signs of Depression

Everyone’s experience is unique, but common symptoms include:

• Persistent low mood or sadness
• Loss of interest in hobbies or socialising
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Difficulty concentrating
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
• Thoughts of self-harm

Recognising these signs is the first step toward recovery. Counselling provides the support and tools you need to regain balance.

How Counselling Can Help

Through counselling, you can:

• Understand underlying causes of depression (life events, trauma, stress, or unresolved issues)
• Learn healthier coping strategies
• Build resilience and self-confidence
• Improve relationships and communication
• Move towards living a more fulfilling life

Our approach is tailored to your needs — whether short-term support or longer-term therapy.
