People in Surrey often contact us about depression when the days start to feel grey and slow. You might lie awake at 3 a.m. and then drag through a shift, cancel family plans again, or leave the dishes because starting feels impossible. Sad stretches happen to everyone. Reaching out may help when the low mood hangs on for weeks and crowds out work, home or caring for yourself.
You can see a counsellor for depression therapy in Surrey at our Newton office on King George Boulevard, our Fleetwood office on 84 Avenue or another Surrey location, or meet by video from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation is a quiet first step, with no pressure to decide anything.
What depression therapy in Surrey looks like
The free consultation by phone or video is a chance to say what the low mood has been like, even in a few words. From there, our intake team suggests counsellors who match your needs, language and budget, at a Surrey office or online. Early on, your counsellor may gently ask how you are sleeping and eating, what has changed lately and whether anything still brings a little ease. You set the pace.
As depression counselling in Surrey goes on, you may track your mood alongside what you did each day, try one small task when energy is low, and catch self-critical thoughts like 'I'm useless' to look at them more fairly. Some people also talk about grief, money stress or isolation sitting under the heaviness. You can meet in person in Surrey or by video, and change between them if your energy shifts from week to week.
