About The Therapy

Depression is rarely only sadness. More often it's a weight, a flatness, a sense that the colour has drained out of things — and the energy required to "snap out of it" is exactly what it has taken from you. Our work doesn't try to talk you out of how you feel. It slows down enough to listen, and to find the parts of you that the depression has been hiding.

Paras draws from psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and somatic traditions. The pace is yours. There is no homework you have to do, no script you have to follow, and no "better version" of you that you have to perform on the way there.

Is this right for you?

• You've been carrying a low, persistent heaviness most days
• You feel numb, disconnected, or like you're going through the motions
• You've tried to push through and want to actually work with it instead
• You want warmth, not a worksheet, and a pace that respects your energy
• You're open to a relational approach rather than a fixed protocol
