Supporting Recovery from Depression
Behavioural Activation
Encourage you to gradually increase your participation in meaningful and enjoyable activities, even when motivation feels low. Taking small, manageable steps to become active helps break the negative cycles that sustain depression.
Values & Interests Rediscovery
Work together to reconnect with your hobbies, passions, and social connections. Rediscovering what matters to you personally brings greater meaning and joy to your daily life.
Cognitive Strategies
Address unhelpful thinking patterns by identifying negative thoughts and reframing them into more balanced perspectives. Cultivating self-compassion is key—learning to treat yourself with kindness during difficult moments supports your recovery.
