When Life Feels Numb, Heavy or Too Much to Carry
Depression can feel like moving through fog; numb, tired, and disconnected from who you used to be. You might smile for others, but on the inside everything feels flat or painfully heavy. Even small tasks take enormous effort. You can’t explain why you’re like this and that makes it feel even more isolating. The guilt, the shame, the quiet ache that lingers. It’s exhausting to keep pretending you’re okay when you’re falling apart inside.
Depression Can Look Like:
- Feeling disconnected from you emotions or sense of self
- Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy
- Feeling drained, yet unable to relax or sleep
- Stuggling with self-doubt and low self-worth
- Noticing changes in sleep, appetite, or routine
- Stuck in negative thoughts that feel hard to escape

Whether you’re feeling stuck, numb or overwhelmed, we’ll work together to gently shift unhelpful thought patterns and move toward healing so life starts to feel a little lighter, day by day.
As you continue your therapy journey, you may notice:
- Feeling more hopeful with a clearer sense of purpose
- More emotional energy, less heaviness and overwhelm
- Reconnecting with others and building meaningful relationships
- Managing heavy emotions and reducing distressing symptoms
- Rediscovering joy in hobbies and interests
- Relief and a decrease in physical symptoms like low energy

Frequently Asked Questions
Does your team specialize in other treatment areas?
Yes our team does specialize in various treatment areas! Explore our Therapy Services here.
What is the cost of therapy and is it covered by insurance?
We offer in-person and online counselling services for individuals and relationships. See our rates here.
Many benefit programs cover the cost of Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs). Please check with your benefits provider to see if this is available to you.
We offer direct billing options to certain insurance companies. If direct billing is not an available option, we provide a detailed receipt following each session. Follow your insurers instructions for submitting the receipt through your extended health benefits plan (often this can be done online).
We invite you to contact us with any questions to explore these options.
What is the rescheduling and cancellation policy?
We kindly require 48-hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling to ensure fairness to you, your counsellor, and other clients. Our cancellation fee is the full cost of the counselling session.
Where is As You Are Counselling located?
Our clinic is located in Langley, next to the 200 Street highway exit. We are easily accessible from Surrey, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and other surrounding cities.
We also offer the convenience of online counselling for those who cannot make it in-person.
Learn more on our Contact page.
How many sessions does it take before I start to feel better?
This really depends on the issue at hand and the context in which you are experiencing the problem. At the first session, you and your counsellor will discuss the optimal frequency and likely duration of counselling. With more complex and long standing issues, you will likely need more sessions to untangle things and build up internal stability.
Therapy is a process. That said, most of our clients experience some relief early on in the therapy process, and indicate that they are experiencing positive shifts in their lives after 4-6 sessions.
