Therapy for depression in Inverness and the Highlands
Depression can affect every part of life. It influences how you feel, how you think and how you function day to day. Even simple tasks can begin to feel heavy or overwhelming. It is more than feeling sad. Depression can show up as irritability, exhaustion, numbness or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others.
At Oakwood Mind & Body, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you understand and manage depression in a way that feels safe and supportive. Whether your symptoms have been building gradually or you are struggling following a recent life change, therapy can offer relief, clarity and a way forward.
Therapy provides a steady, non-judgemental space to explore what you are going through. At Oakwood Mind & Body, we tailor our approach to your individual needs, working at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
You do not need to have everything clearly defined before you begin. A willingness to talk and reflect is enough. We will meet you where you are.

What to expect from depression therapy
Therapy for depression offers time and space to talk openly about your thoughts and feelings. Sessions last 50 minutes and may be short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs and preferences.
Over time, therapy can help restore a sense of connection, purpose and possibility. Progress may feel gradual, but even small shifts can make a meaningful difference.
Your therapist will provide a calm and supportive presence, helping you to:
- Explore what feels most pressing or painful
- Identify emotional and behavioural patterns
- Understand how past experiences may be influencing the present
- Develop practical strategies to manage difficult days
