Self-Management of Depression

Depression is a complex illness, which presents in a myriad of ways and almost 60-70% people treated with antidepressants fail to achieve a symptom-free state when first treated with these medications. The treatment of depression cannot be pigeon-holed into one or two kinds of treatment modalities. Self-management is increasingly becoming the standard of care in people with long-standing medical conditions. Self-management puts one in the driver’s seat with regards to making choices regarding one’s health. However, treatment of depression has lagged behind in incorporating the concept of self-management with the most popular self-help paradigm on depression focusing mostly on cognitive-behavioral approaches. Self-management goes beyond the narrow perspective of self-help and addresses life style changes, social relationships, communication, problem-solving, and also includes elements of wellness and recovery.

Private practice

I coach young leaders in a wide range of professional and life challenges in different areas: Life/career transitions (life purpose, values and mission clarification); well-being (healthy lifestyle, habits building, procrastination issues, stress reduction & emotional regulation); productivity (goal settings, digital dysfunctionality); interpersonal issues (conflict resolution); leadership skills (self-leadership, co-leadership, empowerment, team building and engagement for startup teams).

As a coach, I am very much oriented to get results with my clients. My reputation is based on the success of my clients.   Thus, I expect dedication and commitment, consistent work and perseverance from you. From me, you can expect firm and gentle guidance, continuous encouragement and on-going facilitation. I focus on values clarification and goals achievement. I have a mindfulness-based approach to coaching. I create a safe space for mindful interpersonal communication to share in a very natural, genuine and friendly manner during the sessions. In between sessions, I encourage the practice of formal and informal mindfulness-based techniques to facilitate behavioral change, stress reduction & time management. Besides, I foster mental skills training  (self-regulation, self-compassion, resilience...) and the acquisition of healthy habits to leverage a sense of wellbeing and productivity.
