Anxiety & depression
Anxiety races: the 3 a.m. spiral, the replayed conversations, the constant bracing for something to go wrong. Depression drains: the heaviness, the flatness, the things you loved turning into chores. Many people live with both at once — exhausted and on edge, tired but unable to rest.
You might recognize
- Constant worry you can't switch off, even about small things
- Feeling on edge or braced for the worst without knowing why
- Trouble sleeping, or sleeping plenty and still waking exhausted
- Losing interest in the people and things that used to bring you joy
- Feeling heavy, numb or flat, like you're watching your life from a distance
- A short fuse that doesn't feel like you
- Trouble concentrating, deciding or starting simple tasks
- Pulling away from friends and family because it all feels like too much
- An inner voice telling you you're not good enough
When your mind won't rest, or won't start
Both take over quietly. You keep showing up to work, answering messages, holding it together, while it takes a little more effort every week.
If you've been telling yourself it's not bad enough to get help: "not feeling like myself anymore" is one of the most common reasons people reach out to us. It counts.
How we help
Anxiety and depression feed each other. Worry wears you out, exhaustion feeds hopelessness, and hopelessness gives you more to worry about. So we start by mapping your pattern: what triggers it, what keeps it going and what it's costing you.
Then we pair understanding with action. We work on the thinking that keeps the cycle spinning — catastrophizing, harsh self-talk, avoidance that shrinks your world. And we build the practical side: calming a nervous system stuck in overdrive, getting back to what depression took off the table, and restoring the routines that keep a life steady.
Evidence-based, and fitted to you
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), emotionally focused therapy and psychodynamic work, chosen to fit you rather than fitting you to a method.
Ways to support yourself
None of these replaces support, but all of them help.
Protect the basics: regular sleep, movement and meals do more for mood and anxiety than they get credit for.
Get some daylight every day, even ten minutes.
Write worries down instead of circling them. On paper they're finite; in your head they're endless.
Do one small thing you used to enjoy, even if the enjoyment hasn't come back yet. Action tends to lead and feeling follows.
Stay connected, even in small doses, and go easy on caffeine, alcohol and doomscrolling. They turn the volume up.
