Do I need counselling? You asked Google - here's the answer
Often people seek counselling for a specific reason, such as a bereavement or problems related to alcohol or drug use, but it doesn’t have to be related to a major life event. Many of us will have had difficult experiences at some stage of our lives that may have affected our self-esteem, or our ability to form meaningful relationships.
Symptoms and treatments of depression – and what you can do to help yourself or someone you know.
If you are depressed, you may feel that nothing can help. But this is untrue. Deciding to do something is the most important step you can take.

What is depression?
We often use the expression “I’m feeling depressed” when we’re feeling sad or miserable about life. Usually, these feelings pass in due course. But if the feelings are interfering with your life and don’t go away after a couple of weeks, or if they come back, over and over again, for a few days at a time, it could be a sign that you’re depressed in the medical sense of the term.
