Depression Therapy Surrey
Depression is more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch. It is considered a serious mental health condition that affects every aspect of a person’s life. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, loss of interest in enjoyable activities, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can become a constant presence, profoundly impacting an individual’s quality of life and ability to function.
Our depression therapy in Surrey encompasses a broad range of techniques and approaches. All aimed at providing relief and recovery to those affected by this condition. Our focus on personalised care, combined with the availability of both traditional and innovative therapies, ensures that our clients can find the support they need in a way that best suits their journey.
Our integration of psychotherapy and psychiatry offers a multifaceted approach that addresses both the psychological and biological aspects of the disorder. This ensures that clients receive holistic care tailored to their individual needs.
Psychotherapy for Depression
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, plays a crucial role in treating depression. It involves various therapeutic techniques to explore the emotional and psychological issues contributing to depression. Including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is considered one of the most effective methods to treat depression. It focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Role of Psychiatry in Depression
Psychiatry complements psychotherapy by addressing the biological and chemical aspects of depression. Our psychiatrists assess both the mental and physical aspects of your psychological problems. This medical approach is often crucial for those whose depression is severe or resistant to psychotherapeutic treatment alone.
All of our treatment plans are personalised and designed to get the most out of each client whilst supporting their therapeutic journey. During the initial consultation, we work closely with you to develop a detailed understanding of your specific symptoms, life circumstances, and therapy goals. This collaborative approach ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, offering the best chance for successful outcomes.
That is correct, we offer online therapy for those who may find it difficult to attend in-person sessions due to scheduling conflicts, health concerns, or personal preferences. This option provides the same level of care as in-person therapy, with the added convenience of accessing treatment from anywhere. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with anxiety, as it removes the stress of commuting and provides a comfortable, familiar environment in which to engage in therapy sessions. Our goal is to ensure you get the most out of each session.
“From start to finish, it taught me so much about myself.”
“Thank you for challenging me when I needed it.”
“I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made in a short time.”
“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”
Psychotherapy focuses on talk therapies to understand and change behaviour, thoughts, and emotions contributing to depression. Psychiatry involves medical doctors who can prescribe medications to manage the biochemical aspects of depression, offering a biological approach to treatment.
The need for medication typically depends on the severity and persistence of your symptoms, as well as how you respond to psychotherapy alone. Psychiatrists at Dr. Jo Gee Psychotherapy evaluate your condition to determine if medications are recommended as part of your treatment plan.
Improvement timelines can vary widely among individuals and depend on several factors, including the severity of symptoms, the specific treatment modalities used, and the individual’s response to treatment. Some may notice improvements within a few weeks, while others might take longer.
During your first session at Dr. Jo Gee Psychotherapy, you can expect a supportive and confidential environment where you’ll discuss your current issues and therapy goals. This session is crucial for building trust and setting the foundation for your therapeutic plan. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the process and to feel comfortable with the therapeutic setting.
