How Depression Affects People

Emotional Impact

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It can lead to persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or irritability. People with depression may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed, struggle with feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and experience overwhelming despair.

Physical Symptoms

Depression often manifests physically, causing fatigue, changes in sleep patterns, and appetite fluctuations. Some individuals may experience chronic pain or digestive issues, further diminishing their quality of life.

Cognitive Effects

Depression can impair concentration, decision-making, and memory. This cognitive fog can make even simple tasks seem insurmountable, contributing to a cycle of frustration and decreased productivity.

Social Isolation

Individuals with depression may withdraw from social activities and relationships, feeling disconnected from friends and family. This isolation can exacerbate feelings of loneliness and contribute to the worsening of depressive symptoms.

The Broader Impact

The effects of depression extend beyond the individual, impacting families, workplaces, and communities. Loved ones may feel helpless, watching someone they care about struggle with a condition that seems to consume their life. Employers may notice decreased productivity and increased absenteeism, adding to the economic burden of this pervasive condition.

Hope and Healing

Despite the profound impact of depression and mood disorders, there is hope. Hypnotherapy offers a powerful, holistic approach to healing. By addressing the root causes of depression and providing tools to reframe negative thought patterns, hypnotherapy can help individuals regain control of their lives and find joy once more.

What to Expect During a Hypnotherapy Session

Promoting Relaxation and Stress Reduction

In your first session, our skilled therapist will guide you into a hypnotic trance, inducing deep relaxation and focused awareness. We use a variety of techniques to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of your depression, helping you feel more at ease and in control.

Addressing Past Trauma

Depression is often linked to past trauma or unresolved emotional issues. We provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore past experiences through memory regression, uncovering any connections between past events and your current depressive symptoms.

Transforming Negative Thought Patterns

We focus on identifying and reframing the negative thought patterns contributing to your depression. Through suggestion and visualisation, we help you replace these negative thoughts with positive, empowering beliefs, fostering a healthier mindset.

Building Coping Mechanisms

Effective management of depression involves learning how to access states of confidence, optimism, and resilience, even outside of formal hypnotherapy sessions. We teach you practical techniques to interrupt and break out of depressive thought cycles, empowering you to take control of your mental and emotional state.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many sessions of hypnotherapy are needed for treating depression?

    The number of sessions required can vary depending on the severity of depression, individual response to hypnotherapy, and other factors. Some individuals may experience improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require more long-term treatment. Your therapist will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan.

  • How can I find a qualified hypnotherapist for treating depression?

    When seeking a hypnotherapist for depression, it's essential to look for someone who is licensed or certified in hypnotherapy and has experience working with depression or other mental health conditions. You can ask for recommendations from healthcare providers, check professional associations, or conduct online research to find qualified practitioners in your area. Additionally, it's a good idea to schedule a consultation to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your therapist's approach.

  • What can’t be treated with hypnotherapy?

    Serious psychiatric or mental health problems are referred to a psychologist, psychiatrist or GP. Doctors may recommend hypnotherapy for pain management, stress reduction or relaxation.


    Drug addiction, clinical depression and other such problems need to be treated by doctors and psychiatrists, who may, at their discretion, prescribe hypnotherapy as a complementary therapy.


  • Is hypnosis safe? Will I lose control?

    Hypnosis works with your unconscious mind, which is naturally protective of your interests. Contrary to popular myths, you are always in control and able to exit the trance state instantly.


    During the session, you are always in control and cannot be forced to do or think anything that conflicts with your own will.


  • What if I am unable to go into a deep trance?

    A light state of trance is all that’s needed which is similar to the state of trance you would experience while watching a movie or driving a car. With each session, you will find yourself becoming more at ease with the state of trance. The trance state is pleasant and becomes more and more natural with each session.

  • What if I am on medication?

    Hypnotherapy is safe and works in parallel with other therapies. It is always advised that the client stays on their medication and under the supervision of their doctor for as long as necessary.
