Therapy For Adults With Depression.

We help adults move through depression, rebuild motivation and find hope in everyday life again.

Understanding Depression.

Depression can appear in different ways. Signs may include:

Persistent sadness, emptiness or irritability
Low energy, fatigue or changes in sleep
Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Withdrawing from friends, family or work responsibilities

Depression doesn’t mean someone is lazy or lacking willpower. It reflects changes in the brain and body that need care, not judgment.

**How Therapy Helps.**

At Unbound Minds, we use evidence-based therapies that help adults understand depression and find practical ways forward.

Support can include:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifies negative thinking patterns and replaces them with healthier, more balanced ones.
Behavioural Activation: Encourages gradual re-engagement with activities that bring enjoyment, purpose and connection.
Emotion Regulation Skills: Provides practical strategies for managing low mood and stress.
Problem-Solving Therapy: Builds confidence to manage challenges that may feel overwhelming.
Strengths-Based Identity Work: Helps adults reconnect with their values, abilities and sense of self-worth.
Family or Relationship Support: Where helpful, involving loved ones to improve understanding and connection.

We also collaborate with GPs and psychiatrists if medical treatment is part of care.

Your Questions, Answered.

Depression can make everyday life feel heavy and overwhelming. Many adults wonder how therapy helps, what to expect, and whether things can improve. These are some of the most common questions people ask us at Unbound Minds about depression and the support available.

How does Unbound Minds support adults experiencing depression?

We provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about how you are feeling. Our psychologists use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches to help you manage low mood, increase coping strategies, and reconnect with the things that matter to you.

Do you just focus on mood symptoms, or do you look at the bigger picture?

Both. We address immediate challenges such as low mood, fatigue, and lack of motivation, while also exploring the underlying stressors, thought patterns, and life circumstances that can contribute to depression.

How do I know if what I am experiencing is depression or just a tough period?

Everyone feels sad or flat at times. Depression may be present when those feelings are persistent, intense, and interfere with daily life - such as affecting work, relationships, or sleep. If low mood continues for weeks or months, professional support may be helpful.

What can I expect in therapy for depression?

Therapy is collaborative and tailored to you. Together we’ll explore your experiences, set meaningful goals, and build practical strategies to improve wellbeing. Sessions are focused on giving you tools you can apply in everyday situations.

What if I’ve lived with depression for many years?

Even if depression has been part of your life for a long time, therapy can provide new ways of understanding and managing it. Support can help reduce its impact, build resilience, and improve quality of life over time.
