It’s a fair question, and an important one. Depression tends to involve a chronic loss of interest, activities that used to bring you joy just don’t anymore. Sadness is different, even during a hard stretch, you can usually still find moments of enjoyment in some things.
Anxiety often shows up differently too, with restlessness, racing thoughts, and a tendency to expect the worst outcome. If anxiety feels like the larger piece of what you’re experiencing, my Anxiety & Stress Counselling page covers that in more depth.
Everything shared in session stays private, always.

A chronic loss of interest shows up differently for different people. Here are a few of the more common patterns.
Activities that used to bring you joy, hobbies, time with friends, things you looked forward to, start to feel like more effort than they’re worth. That shift is often one of the clearer signs something’s going on.
Everyday tasks can start to feel disproportionately exhausting, getting out of bed, making a meal, responding to a text. It’s not laziness, it’s often a sign your energy and motivation need real support.
Canceling plans, going quiet with friends and family, or preferring to be alone more often than usual can be an easy pattern to fall into, and a hard one to name on your own.
It's okay if you're not sure where to begin, just reach out, with a willingness to talk.
We'll focus on understanding what's driving how you feel and building practical steps forward.
Support is available when you need it, including crisis appointments.

Depression tends to involve a chronic loss of interest, when things you’d normally enjoy just don’t hold the same pull anymore. Sadness is different, you can still find enjoyment in some things, even while going through something hard. Anxiety often shows up differently too, with restlessness, racing thoughts, and a tendency to expect the worst. If anxiety feels like the bigger piece of what you’re experiencing, my Anxiety & Stress Counselling page goes into that in more depth.
Everyone experiences it a little differently, but a chronic loss of interest in things you used to enjoy is one of the clearer signs, along with low energy, low motivation, and pulling away from people. If that sounds familiar, it’s worth having a conversation.
