The Therapies for Depression counselling

Cognitive behaviour therapy:
CBT will help you replace unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with new ones that reduce your depression. It can be delivered one-on-one with a therapist or counsellor. CBT is one of the most effective treatments for depression. It is a structured psychological treatment which recognises that the way we think (cognition) and act (behaviour) affects the way we feel. A Counsellor at My Solution Wellbeing will work with you to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. Unhelpful thoughts and behaviours can make you feel more depressed and stop you from getting better.
Interpersonal therapy:
Interpersonal therapy is a structured psychological therapy that focuses on problems in personal relationships and the skills needed to deal with these. Relationship problems can have a significant negative effect on someone experiencing depression.PT helps you recognise patterns in your relationships that can make your depression worse. It helps you focus on coping with grief and improving relationships.
Mindfulness based cognitive therapy:
MBCT uses ‘mindfulness meditation’ and is usually delivered individually or in group therapy. It teaches you to focus on the present moment without trying to change it. First, you will learn to focus on physical sensations such as breathing. Then you will learn to focus on feelings and thoughts. Mindfulness based cognitive therapy will support you by avoiding unpleasant thoughts and feelings. It will also support you to notice feelings of sadness and negative thinking patterns early in order to help stop them from becoming worse.
