Overcoming Low Mood and Reclaiming Your Life

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a low mood.

It’s a serious mental health condition that can affect how you think, feel and act in daily life. It can lead to persistent feelings of emptiness, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed and even physical symptoms like fatigue and changes in appetite.

At Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy, we offer expert-led, compassionate therapy to help you navigate depression and regain a sense of balance and well-being. Whether you visit us in our Guildford clinic or choose online therapy, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Understanding Depression

LeftFlower

Depression is a mood disorder that can interfere with work, relationships and daily activities. It’s not the same as just feeling sad – it can last for weeks, months or even longer and makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming.

Many people with depression experience:

  • Persistent sadness, emptiness or hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed
  • Irritability, frustration or mood swings
  • Anxiety, worry or feeling on edge
  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness or self-doubt
  • Difficulty concentrating, making decisions or remembering things
  • Fatigue, low energy or feeling physically drained
  • Changes in sleep, appetite or physical health

Depression affects everyone differently, and symptoms can vary from mild to severe. But no matter how depression impacts you, support and treatment can help you regain control and find hope again.

 

A Safe Space for Recovery

Living with depression can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

Our therapists provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about your feelings and begin your journey to recovery.

We work with you to understand your experiences, identify patterns contributing to your depression, and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

Healing is a journey, and we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
