Would you like to talk to someone about your depressive moods?

Psychological counselling helps you to feel the joy
of life again and to overcome negative thoughts.

Feel the joy of life

People who suffer from depressive moods struggle with various symptoms such as sleep disorders, loss of appetite, negative mood or listlessness.

Although depressive moods are very widespread, those affected are often mistakenly confronted with the prejudice of being lazy. This can contribute to the fact that the first step to seeking professional help feels very shameful and therefore requires great effort to overcome that.

During counselling, the following psychological counselling elements may be applied:

  • Finding pleasant activities
  • Training of enjoyment
  • Activation
  • Identification of negative thoughts and realistic adaptation
  • Help with structuring the day
  • Enhancing self-esteem (e.g. becoming aware of one’s own qualities and talents)
  • Relaxation techniques (e.g. to promote sleep behaviour)
