Depression counselling
Get the right support so you can get back to enjoying life.
It’s common to feel sad or low sometimes. But it’s not normal to feel this way all the time, or even intensely over a long period of time. If you are, this could be depression.
You may find yourself withdrawing from your normal activities or from your friends or family, or simply not able to enjoy the things you normally would. You might be feeling guilty about feeling sad all the time, or irritable when others push you to join in or ‘just feel better’, and you may experience feelings of hopelessness about the future.
At The Grass Tree Group we provide evidence-based treatments for depression that are designed to help you get back to enjoying your life.

Frequently asked questions
All humans will experience sadness at one time. But depression is more than just feeling blue or sad occasionally. With depression the sadness or low feelings tend to be pervasive. They may last for weeks or more. They may also include feelings of hopelessness, low self-esteem or self-wroth, feelings of guilt, an inability to enjoy life and a loss of relationships among other things.
Depression can be caused from many different things, and often the cause is a number of things that interact together. This can include genetic predisposition, psychological and environmental factors, a psychiatric condition, as a result of an underlying medical condition or even caused by the use of certain substances, like alcohol.
Yes! Depression is absolutely treatable. Untreated depression can lead to serious consequences. If you have concerns that you’re depressed, please get in touch with our team as soon as possible.
Everyone deserves to have a happy, joy-filled life. While things won’t always go your way, you don’t have to live with untreated depression either. In fact, untreated depression can lead to more frequent, more prolonged and more intense depressive episodes and it can significantly interfere with your ability to function well at work or school, and impact the success of your relationships too.
