Some information and advice to understand why depression happens and how therapy can lead you back to recovery and happiness. Here I explain what’s happening in the brain during periods of depression and anxiety, how you can break the cycle of negative thinking, what to look for in a depression and anxiety therapist, plus other things you can do for yourself to boost your mood and well being.

Depression is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. It also presents differently for everyone. This blog post explains what it feels like, the signs and symptoms, the causes, and advice on when to seek help, where you can get help, and how I can help you recover. Whether your symptoms are mild or intense, getting help is a sign of strength—not weakness. Contact me for depression and recovery support therapy in Newcastle, NSW, and online across Australia.

Learn how hypnosis allows us to access the subconscious mind - the most powerful and fast acting therapy for addiction & depression recovery. Subconscious Dynamics™ therapy combines modern hypnosis with neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to access the deep mind where you can identify the root cause of issues or desires, and rewire the brain for effective change. Subconscious Dynamics™ resolves issues not just allows you to cope.

I don't provide coping strategies in my mental health and addiction counselling practice. That's because they are not helpful. They are temporary crutches. They can drop you into an exhausting vicious loop, and even lead to other addictions or negative behaviours - as happened with me. I only offer full identification and resolution of the issues underlying your condition.
