How Pat Walker pinpoints depression types with precision

Throughout my career, I have learned to master the ability of accurately deciphering whether a client is experiencing situational or medical depression.

I strongly believe that this is a skill that every counsellor should have.

Many believe that they do, but are missing some key points.

Through years of experience and an innate understanding of human behaviour, I can discern subtle cues—like eye contact, body language, and even voice tone—to identify the root cause of depression.

And I’ve condensed it all down into a few simple pointers.

Curious to learn more about these techniques and how they can transform your counselling approach?

Addict to admirable: How our Head Counsellor transformed a life (A must read for aspiring counsellors)

Years ago, a client came to me with a severe gambling addiction that had dominated their life for over two years.

The addiction was not only draining them financially but also taking a heavy toll on their mental health and home life.

They were overwhelmed with feelings of disappointment, agitation, and sorrow.

Desperation led them to borrow money, plunging deeper into debt.

My client had hit rock bottom.

Simply searching for a way to cope after stressful days at work, had tragically led them to a slot machine.

This seemingly innocent hobby turned into a devastating addiction.

As counsellors, we must be prepared to handle such challenging situations.

I drew on a range of techniques and approaches, working collaboratively with my client to shift their mindset.

It was crucial to be ready for anything, thinking on my feet as my client confided in me about their seemingly ruined life.

By our 10th session, they were able to walk past a casino without feeling the urge to enter.

This transformation is a testament to the impact skilled counselling can have.

Finally break the cycle of procrastination (and other negative thoughts).

Negative thoughts hold many people back from living their best lives.

So you’re not alone!

Procrastination, self-doubt, negative self-image, and intrusive thoughts can all prevent you from reaching your goals.

These thoughts must be explored to start building a better you.

Many people online talk about going for a walk, spending time with a friend or being kind to yourself.

But these are often just small things that you can do for a week before struggling again.

It’s natural.

Dealing with procrastination and negative thoughts alone isn’t easy, so let us help. Find out how: https://www.patwalkerco.com/booking

Lack of communication with your partner, the silent end to relationships.

Communicating with your partner is essential, but knowing how isn’t always easy.

As a couple you must learn. Otherwise you risk heartbreak, break ups and divorce.

Some people prefer to do this with someone else present, like a counsellor.
