Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy, Managing emotions, Oxford Circus

Difficult to understand or manage your emotions? You just need to learn how. How Does Therapy Work?

Counselling and psychotherapy – or talking therapy [1]– are about building on a positive relationship with your therapist or counsellor, a springboard helping you make sense and manage your struggles. They’re also about learning tools and coping strategies to deal with your difficulties and move on towards the life you want.

No one-size-fits-all. We are all different and thus therapy is a very personal and subjective experience. We specialise in a range of evidence-based therapy and counselling options, from short and long term CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to mindfulness, schema and compassion-focused, and from person-centred to psychodynamic approaches. We are trained to work with individuals, couples and families and adapt therapy to tailor it around your unique needs and desires.

How to Get Out of a Depressive Episode

How to Get Out of a Depressive Episode

In life, we all go through low periods. While for most of us, sadness and stress eventually pass, for some, it's more severe and prolonged. If the increasing feeling of helplessness and overwhelm has been disrupting your daily life and draining your energy for over two weeks, chances are you're struggling with a depressive episode. Managing seemingly easy tasks like getting out of bed or cooking a meal may feel impossible. Fortunately, you don't have to go through this challenging time alone.

With professional help and support, you can learn practical strategies and techniques for how to get out of a depressive episode. In this article, we discuss what a depressive episode is, its signs and triggers, and share different ways for managing depressive symptoms and finding relief.
