Online Counselling & Talking Therapies

These type of counselling services mean that you are able to receive the support that you need from anywhere and are an ideal alternative to the many obstacles that people will face when seeking out talking therapy.

Meditation for Depression

You might feel a bit sceptical that meditation can help. Depression typically involves a lot of dark thoughts, such as hopelessness and worthlessness, so spending more time inside your mind might seem counter-intuitive to what you want to achieve. However, meditation changes your response to this negative thinking, teaching you to pay attention to your thoughts without being critical of yourself, accepting them, then letting them go.
