Hypnotherapy for depression
Hypnotherapy for depression - using hypnotherapy to treat those suffering from feelings of unhappiness, sadness & distress
Depression explained
Counselling for depression helps and supports people who are suffering from feelings of unhappiness, sadness and distress. These negative feelings may come and go, they may be constant and they may become serious.
Depression is an illness. It may be triggered by a personal trauma such as change, relationship breakdown or bereavement. Depression can undermine confidence, motivation and the quality of life. Depression can be persistent and be a recurring illness. Some people may be vulnerable to depression, or even susceptible to depression.
Severe depression may lead to thoughts of self-harm or even suicide. Whilst depression counselling will help, some people may be under a GP for medication as well as seeing a counsellor or psychotherapist. Some people with depression may be referred to a counsellor or a psychotherapist by a psychiatrist or vice versa.

Using hypnosis therapy for depression
We believe that therapy is an effective way to treat depression. The use of therapy helps to target both the symptoms and the cause(s) behind someone’s depression.
In order to treat depression, it is important to discuss your past. We understand that ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ and that each of our clients is different and has their own set of unique needs and circumstances. We use a combination of therapies for depression, one of the primary treatments is hypnotherapy.
“There is often a totally understandable apprehension around hypnotherapy. The first thing we always say to our clients is to try and forget what you might have seen passing as hypnosis or hypnotherapy on-stage or on-screen, as most of it is ridiculous. In actual fact we all experience light stages of hypnosis all the time in our daily lives.”

What is hypnotherapy?
We actually experience hypnosis all the time naturally. Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis, for example. Similarly, when we arrive at a destination in our car without being aware of how we got there. That’s a form of hypnosis too. We drift in and out of the state all the time.
All we really do with this form of treatment is harness that state to create a form of deep relaxation that enables us to access parts of the brain that are blocked by conscious thought.
By altering your state of consciousness, through the use of hypnosis and positive suggestion, we can help you to change aspects of yourself – for example your behaviour or your feelings.
How hypnotherapy can help with depression and anxiety
Hypnotherapy can have a positive effect for people who are struggling with depression. Through hypnosis we can teach you simple alternatives of how to express yourself and how to understand and manage your depression.

What can you expect from a hypnotherapy session?
During your first session of hypnotherapy, the clinical hypnotherapist will ask you specific questions about your lifestyle and overall health in order for you both to decide on what your goals will be during the therapy.
While under hypnosis, a patient will exhibit enhanced awareness and responsiveness, which allows the hypnotherapist to bypass the rational part of the brain to the more receptive subconscious and introduce new, positive thoughts and perspectives. You will also be more open to suggestion so that together we can help you change behaviour.
How do we structure our hypnotherapy and depression sessions?
Our therapy sessions are tailored to suit your needs. Our sessions usually last from 30 minutes to an hour; and our courses usually consist of around 6 to 12 sessions. We may also recommend attending a confidence course where you can talk to others who suffer from low confidence for support.
