Depression Counselling Online and Wexford
Feeling low? You're not alone
It’s okay to not feel okay. Depression can leave you feeling stuck, hopeless or numb - but you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer supportive, non-judgemental therapy online and in Wexford to help you find a way forward.
What depression feels like
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as numbness, irritability, or a constant feeling of being “off.” You might feel distant from others, lose interest in things you used to enjoy, or struggle to get through everyday tasks.
Here are some common signs of depression:
Persistent low mood – feeling down, numb, or emotionally flat most of the time
Lack of energy or motivation – even small tasks can feel exhausting
Loss of interest – hobbies, work, or time with loved ones may no longer feel rewarding
Changes in sleep or appetite – sleeping too much or too little, overeating or undereating
Difficulty concentrating – your thoughts might feel foggy or scattered
Feelings of hopelessness – thinking things will never get better or that you’re a burden
Withdrawing from others – isolating yourself, even when you want connection
If you recognise yourself in any of these, know that you’re not alone - and support is available.
How therapy can help with depression
Depression can make it hard to see a way forward - but you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support, change is possible. Therapy offers a space to feel heard, understood, and gradually rediscover hope. It can help by:
Providing a safe space: a confidential, non-judgmental place to talk openly about how you’re feeling
Understanding your triggers: exploring what might be contributing to your low mood or sense of overwhelm
Breaking negative thought patterns: learning how to challenge self-criticism and shift towards more compassionate thinking
Finding practical ways to cope: building tools to manage daily life, even on the hardest days
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy can help you start where you are.
Why work with me?
For over 20 years, I’ve supported people struggling with depression and low mood - helping them find steadier ground, one step at a time. I know how heavy things can feel, and how important it is to find the right support. My approach is always:
Compassionate: you won’t be judged for how you feel.
Practical: we’ll find strategies that make everyday life more manageable.
Tailored to you: therapy should fit your needs, not the other way around.
LGBTQI+ friendly: a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself.
Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s find a way forward - together.
What to expect in therapy
Starting therapy for depression - online or in-person - can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Here’s how we’ll work together:
1. Book a free call
A relaxed, no-pressure chat to see if we’re a good fit and answer any questions you have about starting therapy.
2. Your first session
A safe, supportive space to begin exploring your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. There’s no rush - just space to be yourself.
3. Ongoing therapy
We’ll work together to understand what’s contributing to your low mood and find ways to shift things gently over time.
FAQs
Find answers to common questions about coping with depression and how we might work together.
How long is each therapy session?
Each session lasts 50 minutes, whether in person or online. This gives us time to explore what’s going on for you, at your pace, without feeling rushed.
What if therapy doesn’t feel right for me?
That’s completely okay. Therapy is a personal process - if it doesn’t feel like a good fit, we can talk about what’s not working. Sometimes a different approach, or even a different therapist, can make all the difference.
Do you offer online therapy sessions?
Yes — I offer secure online sessions if you’d prefer to talk from home. It’s a flexible, accessible way to get support.
What happens in the first session?
We’ll take some time to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to get out of it. There’s no pressure to go deep right away - we go at your pace.
How can therapy help with depression?
Therapy offers space to explore what’s behind the low mood, and to build tools that help with motivation, self-worth, and emotional balance.
What kind of therapy works best for depression?
Different approaches help different people. I draw on methods like talk therapy, CBT, and mindfulness — depending on what feels right for you.
What if I don’t know what’s causing the depression?
That’s very common. You don’t need to have the answers - part of therapy is gently exploring what you’re feeling and why.
How long does it take to feel better?
It varies. Some people feel small shifts after a few sessions, others need longer. We’ll move at your pace and check in regularly on how things are going.
Let's talk
You don’t have to go through this on your own. Therapy can help you make sense of how you’re feeling - and begin to find lightness, purpose, and relief.
I’m here to support you. Let’s start with a free 15-minute chat — no pressure, just a space to talk.
