Finding Relief From Depression: Rediscover Happiness

"Living with depression feels like carrying a weight I can’t put down. It’s not just sadness, it’s emptiness, like I’m disconnected from the world around me."

"I wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep, and simple things like getting out of bed or replying to a message feel overwhelming. 

"There’s this dull ache inside, and even things I used to enjoy don’t spark anything anymore. I often feel numb or guilty for not being “better” which only makes it worse. 

"My thoughts get heavy. Sometimes I feel like I’m failing at life, even though I’m trying so hard just to function. It affects everything: my relationships, my work, my sense of who I am. It’s like watching life happen from the outside while I’m stuck behind a glass wall. "

Does this sounds like you?  If it does, you're not alone.

Depression is more than just feeling sad. It’s a deep sense of emptiness, hopelessness, or disconnection that can affect every part of your life. It might be genetic or a chemical imbalance, but it often begins when stress builds up over time, or after difficult life events like loss, relationship issues, burnout, or major change. 

Sometimes, there’s no clear cause at all, which can make it even more confusing and isolating. 

What we do know is that depression affects the way the brain processes thoughts and emotions. It can make everything feel harder, from getting out of bed in the morning to engaging with friends, family, or work.

When someone is depressed, the brain can get stuck in a cycle of negative thinking. This can lead to a drop in the brain’s “feel-good” chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, which affect mood, motivation, and energy. The more we focus on what’s going wrong, the harder it becomes to notice what’s going right, and that creates a loop that feels impossible to escape. 

Depression isn’t a weakness, and it’s not something you can simply “snap out of.” It’s a real condition that affects both the mind and body, but with the right support and tools, change is absolutely possible.

Imagine waking up feeling refreshed, with a sense of purpose for the day ahead. 

Picture yourself enjoying simple things again, like laughing with friends, going for a walk, or feeling proud after a day’s work. 

Imagine making decisions without self-doubt and facing challenges without being overwhelmed.

What would it be like to feel lighter, more like yourself, where hope has returned, and the future feels possible again?

This isn't just make believe.  With the right support, it can be your new reality.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, evidence-based approach that focuses on what you want to achieve rather than on the problems of the past. The process can be done online, from the comfort of your own home and begins with a friendly and supportive conversation to understand how you are feeling and for me to explain how I can help.

You’ll never be asked to revisit painful memories. Instead, we focus on how you’d like things to be.

Over time, this helps you break unhelpful patterns, reduce negative thoughts, increase motivation and move forward with greater confidence. 

It’s a gentle, supportive process that works with the brain’s natural ability to change.

We will work together to: 

Focus on the future, not the past – and shift attention away from what’s wrong and towards what’s possible, building hope and motivation.
 

Break negative thought patterns – By encouraging small, positive changes and highlighting strengths, retrain the brain to think more positively.
 

Uses hypnosis to deeply relax the mind – The trance state helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and make the brain more open to positive suggestion.
 

Boost feel-good brain chemicals – Focusing on progress and solutions encourages the release of serotonin and other mood-lifting neurotransmitters.

Build confidence and control – Each session reinforces your ability to take small, manageable steps forward, helping you feel more empowered in everyday life.
