Depression and low mood

Depression Psychologist
Online across Australia.

Compassionate, evidence-informed clinical psychology for low mood, loss of motivation, disconnection and the feeling that life has become heavy or stuck.

Support when life feels heavy or stuck

Depression can affect energy, sleep, concentration, motivation, relationships and hope for the future. You may feel sad, numb, irritable, disconnected or unable to enjoy things that once mattered.

Therapy offers a non-judgmental space to understand what is contributing to low mood and identify manageable steps forward. The pace is collaborative: change does not have to happen all at once.

An individual approach to depression treatment

Treatment is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Depending on your situation, sessions may draw on cognitive behavioural, behavioural activation, acceptance-based, mindfulness-informed and trauma-informed approaches.

  • Low mood and reduced motivation
  • Withdrawal, isolation and loss of connection
  • Self-criticism, guilt and hopelessness
  • Sleep, routine and daily functioning
  • Depression linked with grief, migration or major life changes
