“A big part of depression is feeling really lonely in a room of a million people”. - Lilly Singh

Distressing events or major changes in life circumstances can affect the mood leading to feeling worthless or iritable. If these feelings last longer than 2 weeks, it is important to talk to your GP. Counselling and Psychotherapy is often recommended to help you understand why you are feeling low and how to best manage these feelings.

“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others”. - Brene Browne

When boundaries are blurry or loose, we do things we don’t want to do at the expense of our emotional and physical wellbeing. Having a functional boundary means taking responsibility for your own actions and emotions and NOT taking responsibility for the actions and emotions of others. Therapy can help you work on implementing safe boundaries that increase your wellbeing and promote happier, healthier relationships
