I am feeling depressed and I struggle getting out of bed to go to a job I hate. I am finding that the tablets given to me by the doctor are not working the way they did and really want to stop feeling like this. Would seeing a life coach help?

Relish says: Life coaching is a very powerful process for helping people move forwards and improving themselves, however, it is probably not the best intervention for those who are experiencing deep seated emotional issues, of which depression can be one of the signs. However, by finding the right therapeutic intervention which can help with negative emotions such as NLP (neuro linguistic programming), it is possible to recognise what is causing the depression and to identify what changes will make a difference, particularly with work.

However, there are 2 key points to note here: 1) only a doctor can recommend that you give up on any medication prescribed and 2) you have to be in a position where you really want to make change.

Good luck!
