At this time of year many of us notice our mood taking a huge dip. Colder weather and less natural light can cause our serotonin levels to drop, exacerbating underlying causes or concerns. For all of the delights of Christmas it can also be a period of heightened family strain and increased financial pressure.
But now is the best time to make strides towards improving your mental health. Many clients come to me at around this time of year because they are aware of a repeating pattern of depression, and notice that the tell-tale signs. Some even come as a pre-emptive strike - they are aware that there's a trigger or factor that needs to be addressed to enable them to move forward.
Counselling can help you to work through difficulties, connect to feelings and make sense of your experiences. Don't let SAD get you in its grip - counselling is the best gift you can give yourself this Christmas.
