Depression and Anxiety

There’s a few different types of counselling, but they all have the same aim – to help you find ways to deal with your emotions through listening and talking about them.

Private counselling for depression

Private counselling is becoming a popular option for people with depression due to the flexibility of sessions and the fact you can manage it yourself without being given an allocated amount of sessions.

On the NHS, most people receive a maximum of 12 sessions of counselling before being put back on a waiting list. This can have a detrimental effect on someone’s progress if they feel they need longer.

With Ready Health, you’re in the driving seat when it comes to counselling for depression. You can decide how many sessions you need, and how often you have them – though our licensed therapist might make a suggestion based on how you present.

Counselling for anxiety

Counselling is also a great option for anxiety, as it can sometimes just help to talk through your fears and catastrophic thoughts with someone who can help you rationalise things and think of practical solutions.

While counsellors can’t usually give advice on individual situations, they can help you realise your own solutions and work with you to manage your unhelpful thoughts in future. They may also point out positive thought patterns that you might not have noticed to help you reframe your emotions.
