Depression Hypnotherapy Nottingham
Depression can feel like carrying a heavy weight that holds you back from living the life you want. It’s more than just experiencing a low mood, feeling sad or having a tough day—it’s a persistent struggle that affects your thoughts, emotions, and even your physical health. Mild depression may mean you experience low mood but you’re still able to continue with the demands of your daily life. Severe depression can make you feel suicidal and unable to function normally.
What causes depression?
Depression doesn’t have a single cause; it’s often the result of a combination of factors, such as:
- Stress and overwhelm - prolonged stress or major life changes can take a toll on your mental health
- Negative thinking patterns - persistent negative thoughts can create a cycle that feels impossible to break
- Trauma and loss - difficult experiences, such as bereavement or past trauma, can contribute to feelings of hopelessness
- Biological factors such as imbalances in brain chemistry, genetics, or other physical health issues can also play a role.
Common symptoms of depression
Depression manifests differently for everyone, but common symptoms can include:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Fatigue or low energy, even after rest
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Changes in sleep patterns—either too much or too little
- Physical symptoms, such as aches, pains, or digestive issues
- Withdrawal from friends and family
- Thoughts of self-harm or feeling that life isn’t worth living.
If you’re experiencing some of these symptoms, it’s important to know that you’re not alone and that support is available to help you regain control of your life.
How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based on neuroscience, helps you to understand how your brains work and how they can get you stuck sometimes, helping you to focus on positive changes and move towards the future you want.
By empowering you to focus on the present and your desired future, we look forward rather than dwelling on the past or the causes of your depression. We work together to shift your focus by encouraging you to concentrate on solutions and what is already working in your life, helping you to reduce the feelings of overwhelm and instead creating a sense of possibility.
By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state you are then able to quieten, calm and relax your conscious mind and help to rebalance it, allowing your brain to function more effectively by building new, healthy patterns of behaviour.
We will also work together to build your resilience by supporting you to develop coping strategies and tools to manage everyday challenges with greater ease. Allowing you to feel calm and back in control and make those real, positive changes in your life.
Take the first step
You don’t have to face depression alone. It’s natural to feel hesitant about reaching out for help but taking that first step can be transformative. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy provides a safe, empathetic and compassionate space to help you rediscover your strengths and resources and be able to move forward with hope and confidence.
If you’re ready to make those positive steps toward the life and future you want, I’d love to help.

A transformative impact on my life
Where do I begin? I never realised how much I needed Katies support until I had the privilege of working with her. Her calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. Each session was a safe space where I felt truly heard, understood, and supported.

I can't recommend this service enough
When I began hypnotherapy with Katie I was mildly sceptical and unsure of what to expect, but I noticed an improvement in my mood after even the first session. After 8 weeks I was and am totally convinced this is a lifechanging experience & practice.

A new way to approach daily life
Katie has been a huge help in giving me tools to use and a new way to approach daily life. I have had therapy in the past but this was so different - it was refreshing to not look back and drag up the past but to focus on the future.

Life changing for me
Hypnotherapy with Katie has been life changing for me and I say this as a person suffering with ME/CFS, FND and chronic migraine to the point where I was bedridden for most of 2024. The toolkit Katie instilled in me during our time has enabled me to have a quality of life that I never thought possible.
Kelly
Empowering
I can honestly say that working with Katie has been life-changing. The impact of the sessions has been profound. I no longer find myself stuck in procrastination, something I’ve struggled with for years. I now feel so much more capable of dealing with stress and difficult situations when they come up.
