Depression can make even small things feel difficult. Getting out of bed, replying to a message or caring about plans you once looked forward to can take more energy than you have.
You may feel sad. You may feel nothing at all. Either way, you do not have to wait until things become unbearable before asking for support.
Josh Feeney is a PACFA-registered counsellor and psychotherapist offering online depression counselling across Australia, with in-person sessions available in Surry Hills, Sydney.
Depression Counselling for When Life Feels Heavy
Does this sound familiar?
You feel flat, numb or disconnected from your life
Things you once enjoyed now feel like work
You are withdrawing from people, even when you miss them
Sleep, appetite or concentration have changed
Your inner voice has become harsh or hopeless
You are getting through the day, but barely feel present in it
If this is taking up too much of your life, that is enough reason to talk with someone.
Josh is warm, grounded and easy to speak with. You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation for how you feel. You can start with what has become hardest.
Together, you will look at what may be contributing to the depression, the patterns keeping you stuck and the small steps that could help life feel more manageable. Josh offers care without judgement or forced positivity.
For LGBTQ+ clients, Josh also brings more than a decade of involvement in Australia’s queer community. Your identity will be understood as part of your life, never treated as the problem.
