Depression and low mood
When things have gone flat and heavy, and getting through the day takes most of what you have. Therapy for that, at the clinic in JLT.

A free 15-minute call
Informal, and with a licensed psychologist. Three or four broad questions about what has been going on — enough to point you at the right person, not enough to need preparing for.
Matched to a clinician
On what you are bringing, your age, the language you would rather speak it in, and who has the training for it.
The first session
What brought you, what you would like to be different, and anything you have already tried. It works the other way too — it is where you find out how this clinician works, and whether you want to carry on. What happens next is agreed between you.
What people bring to it
- Low mood that will not lift
- Losing interest, or the motivation to start things
- Everyday life getting harder to keep up with
- Low mood after a loss or a big change
Who you’d be sitting with

Questions people ask
The ones that come up most often before a first appointment.
Whichever fits you. The team works with depression through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is structured work on the patterns that keep low mood going, and through psychodynamic approaches, which look at where it comes from. Which one is agreed with you, not decided for you.
Someone matched to you. Dr Taregh Shaban and Dr Neelam Laxhman both list depression and mood among their specialisms, and Sabeeha Khan works with low mood too. Each of them has a page on the team page.
Not here. Resonate is a psychology and psychotherapy practice and nobody in it prescribes. If medication might be part of the answer, a referral can be made to a psychiatrist outside the practice.
No. You do not need a diagnosis or a referral to book. If you have a GP's or psychiatrist's letter it is worth bringing, but nothing waits on it.
