Private Depression Treatment in Spain | Sea Recovery

Sea Recovery offers private, one-to-one depression treatment in a luxury villa near Marbella, Spain. Our approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy, body-based therapies, and holistic care, all delivered in a discreet, unbranded environment. Designed for adults seeking depth and privacy, our programmes support long-term recovery from depression without groups, exposure, or clinical pressure.

Unlike many rehab clinics in Europe, Sea Recovery offers a fully personalised approach. Every client receives daily, one-to-one therapy sessions alongside holistic practices, emotional integration, and a gentle daily rhythm. For UK clients and international guests, our setting provides both confidentiality and comfort—helping you step away from crisis and into clarity.

Understanding Depression Beyond Sadness

Depression is more than sadness. For many high-functioning adults, it feels like flatness, emptiness, or a quiet collapse behind a mask of success. Some clients numb through alcohol or compulsive behaviours; others hide behind productivity or perfectionism. Left untreated, depression drains clarity, joy, and connection, leaving you feeling unseen even by those closest to you.

At Sea Recovery, we work with clients who describe:

• Persistent low mood, emotional numbness, or loss of motivation
• Chronic burnout and exhaustion that rest cannot fix
• Social withdrawal, loss of confidence, or diminished intimacy
• Physical symptoms including insomnia, appetite changes, or fatigue
• Grief, trauma, or identity loss that underlies emotional collapse

We also treat depression entangled with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and trauma. For a broader view, see our page on mental health and eating disorders.

Causes & Emotional Roots of Depression

Depression often develops as the nervous system’s last line of defence. Emotional shutdown protects against overwhelming pain but also blocks joy and vitality. Causes can include:

• Early attachment wounds or neglect
• Unresolved grief and relationship trauma
• Perfectionism, identity collapse, or relentless self-criticism
• Chronic stress, professional overfunctioning, or work addiction
• Substance misuse or compulsive behaviours used to self-medicate

We treat depression not as weakness, but as a complex, adaptive response. By exploring root causes, you begin to reclaim your emotional depth and sense of safety.

Types of Depression We Treat

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): persistent low mood, hopelessness, and impaired functioning
• Dysthymia: long-term, low-grade depression that erodes self-confidence
• Situational Depression: triggered by divorce, grief, or burnout
• Postnatal or Hormonal Depression: linked to body and hormonal changes
• Trauma-Linked Depression: where past events keep the nervous system in shutdown
• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): mood collapse during seasonal changes
• Atypical Depression: fatigue, hypersomnia, and emotional heaviness with fleeting highs

Why Private, One-to-One Care Works

Many clients have tried clinics, outpatient therapy, or medication without lasting results. At Sea Recovery, recovery unfolds in a private setting where you are never placed in groups. Each day is structured around your emotional bandwidth and needs, with therapists who adapt treatment in real-time. This model creates deep safety and trust—critical for depression recovery.

Therapies We Use for Depression

Your plan integrates psychotherapy, somatic therapies, and creative tools. Modalities include:

• CBT to interrupt negative loops
• DBT to regulate emotions and manage crises
• IFS & Family Therapy to explore protective parts
• IPT to address relational withdrawal
• ACT Therapy to reduce avoidance and build values-driven living
• MET Therapy for motivation when energy is absent
• TRE to release stored trauma and shutdown
• Art Therapy and expressive work to reconnect when words fail

Holistic Therapies Supporting Depression Recovery

Depression is not only mental—it affects the whole body. We integrate holistic supports that restore nervous system stability and energy:

• Yoga, mindfulness, and breathwork
• Cold exposure and sauna for resilience
• Sound therapy and vibrational healing
• Massage, acupuncture, IV therapy, NAD+
• Nutritional support to restore energy balance

Client Story: Quiet Collapse Behind Success

A 38-year-old consultant arrived at Sea Recovery describing life as “colourless.” Outwardly, she was thriving, but privately she numbed with wine and work. Therapy began with gentle CBT and journaling, then integrated TRE and art therapy. By week four, she described a shift: “I don’t just exist—I feel again.”

Environment as a Healing Factor

Our setting is as important as our therapies. Depression thrives in overstimulation and routine. Sea Recovery’s villa near Sotogrande provides light, calm, and space for emotional reset. With no clinical branding, you feel safe to heal without exposure. Learn more about Life at Sea Recovery or explore our Marbella location and broader Spain treatment centres.
