Healing Is Possible: Depression Therapy with Future Focus Counselling

Some people describe depression as a heaviness. Others say it’s more like emptiness, or a sense of floating through life at a distance. For many, it doesn’t feel like sadness at all—it feels like flatness, or a fog they can’t shake. You might be doing all the right things: getting out of bed, answering messages, holding down a job, even smiling when expected. And still, inside, it feels like something is missing, or stuck, or fading.

If this sounds familiar, we want to start by saying: it’s not just you. And it’s not a personal failure. Depression can happen to anyone. It’s more than just feeling down—it’s a signal that something in your life, your body, or your story needs attention and care.

At Future Focus Counselling Center in Kamloops, we offer a space where you don’t have to pretend or push through. If you’re seeking depression counselling in Kamloops or across British Columbia, we’re here to meet you with compassion and curiosity—not judgment or quick fixes.

What Depression Might Look Like

Depression isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it looks like weeping in bed. Other times, it looks like holding everything together while quietly unraveling inside.

You might be noticing:

A loss of interest in things that once mattered to you
Difficulty getting out of bed, making decisions, or feeling motivated
A constant inner critic telling you you’re not doing enough
Feeling disconnected from your body, your relationships, or your sense of purpose
Exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix
A feeling like you’re “just getting by” instead of actually living

These experiences are real. And they are worth tending to.

What Therapy for Depression Can Offer

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Therapy offers a space to lay down the weight for a while. It’s not about being fixed—it’s about being heard, understood, and gently supported as you move toward something more livable.

At Future Focus, depression counselling isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll explore what your depression is trying to communicate. Often, it’s tied to old patterns of self-sacrifice, unacknowledged grief, trauma held in the body, or long periods of survival without support.

We draw from a range of approaches depending on your needs:

Emotionally-focused and relational therapy
Trauma-informed, attachment-based care
Mindfulness and body-based tools to help regulate your nervous system
Narrative work that helps you reconnect with your voice and values

We go slowly, at your pace. Healing doesn’t mean “getting over” depression. It often means learning how to move through it with more awareness, gentleness, and choice.

This Isn’t Laziness. This Is a Signal.

If you've been hard on yourself—telling yourself you should be feeling better by now, or that others have it worse—please hear this: depression isn’t about weakness. It’s a survival strategy, a nervous system response, a form of burnout, or grief, or disconnection that’s taken root over time.

Your symptoms are not who you are. They’re messages. And therapy can help you listen to them, understand them, and gradually make space for new ways of being.

You Deserve Support That Sees the Whole You

If you’re looking for depression counselling in Kamloops, or anywhere in BC through online sessions, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to know exactly what you need. You just need a willingness to be met where you are.

Whether you’re barely holding it together or just starting to wonder if what you’re feeling might be depression, you’re not alone in this. You don’t have to carry it all on your own.

We offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can ask questions, share a bit about what’s been going on, and see whether this feels like a good fit. You can book that here.
