Depression is more than just feeling sad. It is a complex mental health condition that can involve several emotional, physical, and cognitive symptoms that persist and significantly interfere with daily life. Common symptoms include:
At Dr. Jo Gee Psychotherapy, we adopt a holistic approach to treating depression. This means considering all factors that contribute to your mental health, including your physical health, lifestyle, relationships, and environmental factors, alongside your mental and emotional symptoms. We use evidence-based therapies tailored to meet the complex needs of each client, providing tools and techniques that are practical and effective in real-world settings.
Understanding the therapeutic process can help demystify what happens in therapy and make the journey less daunting:
Initial Consultation: Your first step is an assessment session where Dr. Gee will discuss your concerns, history, and goals for therapy.
Developing a Treatment Plan: Based on the initial consultation, a personalised treatment plan will be created that outlines your therapeutic goals and the strategies to achieve them.
Regular Sessions: Therapy typically involves regular weekly sessions, but this can be adjusted based on your progress and needs.
Ongoing Evaluation: The effectiveness of the treatment is continually assessed, and adjustments are made as necessary to ensure optimal outcomes.

“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”
We treat a wide range of depressive disorders, including major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), bipolar depression, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Each treatment plan is customised to address the specific type of depression you are experiencing.
The timeframe for noticeable improvements can vary significantly depending on the individual, the severity of the depression, and their specific circumstances. Most clients begin to see some improvements within the first few weeks of regular counselling sessions, though long-term engagement is often necessary for lasting change.

If your feelings of sadness or depression are persistent, cause significant distress, impact your daily life, or include thoughts of self-harm, it’s important to seek professional help. A consultation with us can help determine the severity of your condition and the appropriate steps to take for your mental health.
