Depression has many different explanations but simply put it is when for some people from time to time and for others more regularly and for others most of the time there is a very negative feeling within them that can be difficult to describe. This feeling accompanied with thoughts that are of varying degrees of negativity can leave us in a place that can be very difficult for us. There are many different ways to deal with this. Depression counselling with Walk & Talk Therapy is a very good place to start. The most important thing is to look for what is going to work for you. Depression counselling can unlock the doors to the suffering you are experiencing right now.
Depression has many different descriptions – we can also say it is when a person is experiencing some form of a negative feeling from within and it may be difficult to describe where it is coming from. The levels of negativity vary from mild to severe. We all experience negative feelings from time to time but sometimes these feelings can become overwhelming and for some ths feeling can be very persistent. The thoughts that accompany these feelings are generally very negative and there are varying degrees of negativity in the thinking.
Depression can become very debilitating for some. In some cases people can develop a lack of interest in relationships, hobbies, their work and even their family. When it gets even more serious a sense of disconnectedness can develop and unfortunately people can alienate themselves and this can make matters worse.
Depression Counselling Process
Often we can be misinformed abut depression and some think that there is little that can be done except take medication to cure it. However there is huge amount of research that shows that we can do a lot to move away from the suffering that goes with depression. The pain and suffering that go with depression can be helped. It is not necessary to suffer.
Depression counselling with Walk & Talk Therapy can be particularly helpful. With being in the outdoors it automatically creates a more positive feeling. We utilize these feelings to talk about ways to move forward with the depression counselling and also to find out what is causing the difficulty. We have a deep look at your thinking and actions as part of the recovery process to find ways of bringing change that will loosen the depression. Many report that even after a few sessions of depression counselling in this manner that change appears in how they feel. Even to go for a walk without depression counselling will help us feel a little bit better. When we combine Walk & Talk Therapy with depression counselling we have a combination that brings results.

With counselling in panic attacks it is very important that you can feel comfortable and somewhat relaxed while talking about your experience. The walk and talk therapy is ideal for helping to deal with panic attacks. There can often be a feeling of helplessness and even hopelessness when we are overcome with panic attacks. There can be a sence of “loosing it” or even feeling that no one else can understand this. The panic attack counselling helps us to clearly understand what is going on. Whats amazing is that this is a very common issue and with the correct attention you can move away from panic attacks and live a life that is free from them.
Panic Attack Counselling Process
What I do in panic attack counselling is to help you in the relaxed enviornment of the walk in the park, is to gently address the thinking and actions that surround panic and to build methods that will suit you to deal with them. When panic arises in us our thinking runs off into the worst possible scenarios and it appears to be uncontrollable but this is where we wil start to work to find the right way for you to address the panic. Another important part of panic attack counselling is that in the enviornment of the outdoors our body and mind is much more relaxed and this provides with the perfect way to find the answers that you need to move past the panic attacks.
