Depression Counselling in Comox, Courtenay & Campbell River
Depression looks different for everyone. For some, it's a persistent low mood and loss of interest. For others, it's irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of numbness. It can creep in slowly or arrive suddenly after a life change. However it shows up for you, I take it seriously — and I'm here to help you find your way through.
In our work together, I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centered approaches, solution-focused techniques, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to address depression from multiple angles. We'll look at the thoughts, behaviours, and emotional patterns that keep you stuck, and we'll gently build a path back toward engagement, meaning, and hope.
One of the things I hear most from clients in Comox, Courtenay, and Campbell River is that they waited too long to seek help — often because they thought their depression "wasn't bad enough" or they should be able to handle it on their own. I want to challenge that. You don't need to be at rock bottom to deserve support. If something feels off, that's enough.
Depression can also be closely connected to other experiences like anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. I take a holistic approach, looking at the full picture of your life rather than treating symptoms in isolation. This means our work together is always tailored to you.
Whether you're experiencing depression for the first time or have lived with it for years, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore what you're going through. Sessions are available in-person at Comox Valley Counselling in Courtenay, as well as virtually or by phone.
