Beat the winter blues with Melbourne counselling services

June 23, 2016

Winter, with its short days, dark clouds and cold weather, can feel oppressive to many and impact on our behaviour and moods. If thoughts of self-doubt or loathing start to creep into your subconscious, our Melbourne counselling services are here to get you back on track.

The winter blues can leave us feeling unmotivated, depressed, fatigued and distant from family and friends. Perhaps you want to stay in your warm bed, overindulge in comfort food and generally hibernate from the world around you. While many people shrug such feelings off and continue on, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can raise its head at this time of year triggering depressive symptoms among its sufferers.

So if you are feeling constantly negative, your moods are swinging like a pendulum, your confidence is low, you’re tired and you are having problems with sleep, it might be time to seek assistance from Reflection Psychology Group’s Melbourne counselling services.

Whether you are suffering from SAD or facing other issues including relationship break-down, career dissatisfaction or even grief, our experienced psychologists can equip you with the tools to overcome your challenges and help you stride towards a more positive life.

Counselling can make a big difference to your daily life. Whether you’re from Balwyn or Brunswick, Alphington or Richmond, seeking the services of a professional and caring psychologist is a sensible approach when you recognise something’s `just not right’ but you don’t know how to break free from your feelings. We can help. We’ll listen, advise, work through problems, strategies and therapy options with you and get you back on your feet.

At this time of the year it’s important you take steps to cherish your health. Regular exercise, healthy food and, where possible, a decent dose of sunshine are key ways to contribute to your physical and mental wellbeing. And, through our Melbourne counselling services, we’re happy to be part of your support team to better health and a happier life.
