Understanding Depression
Support, Clarity and a Path Forward
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a deep and persistent emotional state that can affect every part of your life — how you think, feel, sleep, work, and relate to others. If you’re struggling to find joy in the things you once loved or feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness, you're not alone — and help is available.
At New Dawn Counselling in Tullamore, we provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about how you’re feeling and begin to understand what may be contributing to your depression.
