What we help with

Depression therapy

When the colour drains out of things.

Clinically reviewed by the Healing Space Therapy clinical team

Depression is more than sadness — it's a heaviness that can flatten motivation, energy, and hope. Depression therapy offers a place to be met without judgement, understand what's weighing on you, and gently rebuild connection to yourself and your life. Our trauma-informed approach looks at the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

What it can look like

  • Low mood, emptiness, or numbness that lingers
  • Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
  • Exhaustion, changes in sleep or appetite
  • Harsh self-criticism or feelings of worthlessness
  • Withdrawing from people and pulling inward

How therapy helps

We move gently — depression rarely responds to being pushed. Together we make room for what you're feeling, understand the patterns and experiences that feed the heaviness, and take small, workable steps back toward energy, connection, and meaning.

Good to know

Depression, in brief.

How long does therapy for depression take?

It varies with each person and the depth of what's being worked through. Many people feel some relief within a few weeks; lasting change usually unfolds over a longer, collaborative process.

I can barely get out of bed — is therapy still for me?

Yes, and we'll meet you exactly there. Online sessions can make starting easier, and we pace the work to your energy, not against it.
