Depression Counselling for Helping Professionals
Feeling Numb, Disconnected, or Just Going Through the Motions?
As a healthcare worker, first responder, or helping professional in a healing or crisis-response role, you’re trained to handle emergencies and care for others—often at the expense of your own well-being. But when depression takes hold, even getting through a “normal” day can feel impossible.
You may feel:
Exhausted or numb
Disconnected from others
Like you’re just going through the motions
Or as if you’ve lost a part of yourself
You want to feel like you again, but you don’t know where to begin.
The good news? You don’t have to carry this alone.
A Compassionate Path Forward
As a trauma therapist who understands the demands of high-stress, frontline roles, I’m here to walk alongside you.
In our sessions, you’ll have a safe, non-judgmental space to unpack what’s really going on—without pressure or pretense. We’ll explore how chronic stress, trauma exposure, or past experiences may be impacting your mood, relationships, and ability to cope.
Together, we’ll work to:
Set meaningful and realistic goals
Reframe unhelpful thought patterns
Strengthen tools for communication, boundaries, and self-advocacy
Practice practical strategies for stress relief, problem-solving, and emotional regulation
The result? A greater sense of grounding, empowerment, and connection—in your work, in your relationships, and within yourself.
Who Is Depression Counselling For?
Depression doesn’t discriminate. It can show up quietly as fatigue or irritability—or it can crash in like a wave that makes it hard to function. Either way, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I support people facing many forms of depression, including:
Frontline Professionals Facing Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
Long shifts. High stakes. Constant exposure to crisis. When you’re stretched thin and emotionally drained, depression can creep in, leaving you detached or numb. You deserve a space to process all you carry and find your way back to yourself.
Older Adults in Caring or Retired Roles
Adjusting to retirement, living with chronic health issues, or grieving the loss of mobility and identity can be heavy. Depression in older adults often goes unspoken, but your story matters—and support is available.
Teens and Young Adults in First Responder Families
The stress doesn’t stop with the badge. Teens growing up in high-responsibility households may face anxiety, pressure, or the need to suppress emotions. I offer a safe space where young people can talk honestly and feel heard.
People Living with Chronic Illness or Injury
Chronic illness or job-related injuries carry both physical and emotional weight. Together, we’ll name the grief and frustration, while building tools to support your resilience.
Those Navigating Substance Use and Depression
If you’re coping with stress or trauma through alcohol or substances, you’re not weak—it’s a survival response. With compassionate, trauma-informed care, we can explore ways to break the cycle and heal.
Wherever You Are, There’s a Way Through
You don’t have to minimize what you’re feeling. Depression counselling is for people who care deeply and sometimes carry too much. You’re not weak for needing help—you’re human.
You show up for others every day. This time, let someone show up for you.
Let’s Take the First Step, Together
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can share what you’re going through and see if we’re a good fit.
Because you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
