Depression Treatment Options at Our Perth Counselling Practice
Effectively treating depression often requires a tailored approach. I provide depression counselling in Perth using a range of clinically backed therapies:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression in Perth
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment for depression, helping individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to low mood. By learning to replace these with healthier, more balanced thoughts, clients can experience a reduction in depressive symptoms and gain skills to better manage their mood. Through structured sessions, CBT equips individuals with practical tools to improve their emotional well-being and build resilience against future challenges.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) for Depression
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) for depression focuses on improving your relationships and social functioning, as these often play a significant role in mood. It helps you identify and address current interpersonal problems, such as unresolved grief, role disputes, role transitions, or social isolation. By enhancing your communication skills and ability to form supportive connections, IPT aims to alleviate depressive symptoms and build a stronger foundation for emotional well-being.
Problem-solving Depression Therapy
This practical method helps clients break down overwhelming challenges into manageable steps. It is a valuable tool used in depression therapy in Perth to reduce stress and enhance control.
Depression Counselling Relaxation Techniques
Depression often affects the body as well as the mind. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation can help calm your nervous system and promote a sense of peace and well-being.
Lifestyle Adjustments for Depression
Simple lifestyle changes can greatly support depression recovery. Improving sleep, keeping a regular exercise routine, and engaging in meaningful activities can boost your mental health.
What is Depression?
Depression tends to be a word used in everyday language to describe a range of feelings experienced by most people from time to time, including sadness, moodiness, disappointment, boredom, lethargy, and feeling down in the dumps. These feelings typically lessen or pass reasonably quickly, and individuals return to enjoying life.
Clinical depression is a much more serious mental health issue that requires professional attention. It is characterised by experiencing a prolonged and significantly lower mood that lasts for two weeks or longer. There is typically a loss of interest or pleasure in activities you once enjoyed and a diminished ability to love, work, and perform daily activities. Additionally, there may be a significant personality change. It is important to note that one in seven Australians will experience depression in their lifetime.
What are the Causes of Depression?
There's no single cause of depression. It may be triggered by a variety of factors.
Typical Signs and Symptoms of Depression
Depression varies from person to person, but some common signs and symptoms can help identify it. It's important to remember that these symptoms may be part of life's normal lows. However, the more symptoms you experience, the more intense they are, and the longer they last, the more likely it is that you’re dealing with depression.
