At On My Own Side Counselling, we understand how anxiety and depression can take a toll on your mental and physical well-being. Anxiety often involves persistent worry, fear, or restlessness that can interfere with daily activities. It can also show up as physical symptoms like muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, and disrupted sleep. Depression, on the other hand, may manifest as deep sadness, lack of motivation, and feelings of hopelessness that make it difficult to engage in life’s activities. Depression comes in many forms, from episodes of major depression to long-term, lower-grade forms of depression that can feel like a persistent weight holding you back. Whether you are dealing with acute depressive episodes or a more chronic sense of low mood, our approach is focused on understanding the root causes of your feelings and helping you develop strategies to regain control. For many, anxiety is also deeply intertwined with depression, amplifying self-doubt, restlessness, and fear. By addressing both the depressive and anxious symptoms simultaneously, we offer holistic support to help you manage these overwhelming emotions.
Through evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Inner Child Therapy, we provide individualized care to help you navigate these emotional challenges.
