Feeling persistently low, unmotivated, or emotionally overwhelmed can make even the simplest tasks feel difficult.

Depression & Low Mood

What is depression?

Depression isn’t just “feeling sad” - it can affect how you think, feel, and function day to day. For some, it might show up as a heavy fog of sadness; for others, it’s a numbness, irritability, or a sense of detachment from life.

Low mood can be part of life’s natural ebb and flow. But when it becomes more constant - affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self - it may be time to seek support.

At The Knightsbridge Practice, we offer a compassionate, tailored approach to help you understand and work through what you’re experiencing. Depression has many forms and causes. We take the time to explore your unique story so we can find what works best for you.

Common signs of depression

  • Persistent sadness or low mood
     

  • Loss of interest or pleasure in things once enjoyed
     

  • Changes in appetite or sleep
     

  • Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness
     

  • Fatigue or lack of motivation
     

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
     

  • Thoughts of self-harm or feeling life is not worth living

How therapy can help

We offer evidence-based treatments for depression, with a focus on building understanding, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. These may include:
 

  • Talking therapy (Integrative, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, or CBT-based, depending on your needs)
     

  • Exploring root causes, such as unresolved grief, relationship patterns, or early life experiences
     

  • Developing coping strategies to manage low mood, negative thought patterns, and daily challenges
     

  • Strengthening self-worth and reconnecting with meaning, purpose, and personal goals
     

  • Support with self-care, boundaries, and emotional regulation

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Many people recover from depression with the right support - and it begins with a conversation.
