Low Mood & Depression Counselling for Men in Swindon
Depression can make everyday life feel overwhelming. You may feel exhausted, disconnected, numb or like you've lost interest in the things that once mattered to you. It can affect your relationships, your work and your sense of who you are.
For many men, depression does not always look like sadness. You may find yourself becoming withdrawn, irritable, constantly tired or feeling as though you are simply going through the motions. You might tell yourself to "just get on with it," but underneath, you know something doesn't feel right.
SubRosa Counselling offers depression counselling for men in Swindon, Highworth and the surrounding areas. Sessions are with Edward Hopgood, a Registered Member MBACP, and provide a confidential, supportive space where you can talk openly without judgement.
How depression can show up for men
Depression affects every person differently, but many men experience it in ways that are not always recognised as depression.
You might notice:
- feeling low, numb or emotionally flat
- losing interest in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed
- feeling constantly tired or lacking motivation
- becoming more irritable or frustrated than usual
- withdrawing from family and friends
- finding it difficult to concentrate or make decisions
- changes in your sleep or appetite
- feeling guilty, worthless or like you are letting people down
- struggling to experience hope or enjoyment
- feeling like you're just getting through each day
Depression can be isolating, especially when you feel you have to keep everything to yourself. Counselling offers a space where you do not have to carry those feelings alone.
