Depression and Mood Disorders
GP assessment and step-wise treatment for low mood and related symptoms.
We rule out medical contributors (e.g., anaemia, thyroid, medication effects), then use behavioural activation, CBT-style thought work, routine rebuilding, and—when indicated—antidepressants with close monitoring. We coordinate psychology/psychiatry when required.
Activate life, rebuild routine, review progress
We map your week, set small achievable actions, address sleep and nutrition, and schedule pleasant and mastery activities. We track scores and side-effects, adjusting the plan together.
Compassionate care with clear next steps
One GP-led team manages tests, scripts, therapy skills, and referrals, ensuring continuity and safety with regular check-ins.
