Break The Cycle Of Depression With Hypnotherapy
Depression can often feel like a persistent, inescapable pattern, where you may believe your thoughts and feelings are entirely controlled by external factors. You may have experienced depressive episodes but aren’t always depressed.
Depression can often feel like a fixed state. You might feel the world is disappointing and believe others would be better off without you. This sense of helplessness and hopelessness is fuelled by an inability to shut down negative thoughts, leading to a constant focus on negativity. Catastrophising and using past negative experiences to predict the future only leads to a loss of faith in taking action.
Depression makes us think in black and white, and this all-or-nothing mindset can intensify feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness.
You might start avoiding social situations, not listening to others, and failing to act on your desires, which can lead to poor decision-making and a downward spiral.
By recognising that change is possible and that everything is changeable, you can start to treat your depression effectively.
To break free from this cycle, it’s crucial to understand that these patterns can be altered and that seeking help can lead to meaningful change. I will help you understand how depression works, and how you can learn to navigate through it.
That’s where I come in. Through expert depression hypnotherapy in Bondi Junction and Waverley , I can help you break free from the grip of depression, regain clarity, and restore balance to your life.

Let’s Start TodayHypnotherapy Depression Treatment
So, how can hypnotherapy help you break through the depression cycle? Let’s get to know each other, and as you share a little about your past and what you want for your future, we can begin to address your depression together. I will guide you to understand how depressive thoughts and feelings take hold, and more importantly, how you can start to overcome them.
We will look closely at how you have been coping and develop new, more effective approaches to help you move past depression. A key part of our work will involve improving sleep, since low mood often disrupts sleep and drains energy. We will also build simple relaxation skills so your mind can switch off and reset.
My toolkit combines Strategic Psychotherapy, CBT, NLP, and ACT with Clinical Hypnosis, giving your busy mind a rest and something useful to focus on.
This method is fast, effective, and evidence based. My aim is to help you achieve meaningful change in the fewest sessions possible.

In a nutshell, this is how we will work together:
- Understand how depressive patterns are being done day to day
- Identify the key drivers of low mood and loss of motivation
- Rebuild helpful routines, activation, and decision making
- Improve sleep quality and teach the body to settle

How does hypnotherapy help with depression?
Hypnotherapy guides you into a relaxed, focused state where the mind is more receptive to helpful suggestions. In this state, unhelpful beliefs and patterns can be updated with practical strategies that support motivation, calm, and clearer thinking.
What are the benefits of hypnotherapy for depression?
Many people use hypnotherapy to interrupt negative thought loops, improve sleep quality, and learn relaxation skills. By engaging automatic processes, it can complement other therapies and help build healthier coping strategies and self confidence.
Why work with the unconscious mind to treat depression?
A large part of our thinking and emotional responding happens outside moment to moment awareness. Working at this level aims to update learned responses so you can experience more balance, energy, and a stronger sense of agency.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need for depression?
When you engage with the process and complete between session tasks, many people notice meaningful improvement within 6 to 10 sessions. Your plan is personalised and we will review progress together.
What is hypnotherapy?
As practised here, hypnotherapy blends Strategic Psychotherapy and NLP, facilitated through Clinical Hypnosis. This approach supports a relaxed, focused state that can make it easier to integrate new insights and behaviours.
What is hypnosis and what is trance?
Hypnosis is a natural, absorbed state of attention where you are relaxed and open to helpful suggestions. Everyday experiences like meditating, daydreaming, or becoming absorbed in a film or book resemble a light trance.
Can I be hypnotised?
Most people can experience hypnosis in their own way. Some feel deeply relaxed, others feel calmly focused. You remain in control and we work at a pace that suits you.
How is Strategic Psychotherapy different to other therapies?
- Brief and focused: we aim for meaningful progress in weeks.
- Directive and goal oriented: we map how the problem is maintained and practise alternatives.
- Present and future focused: your history matters, and we focus on what you can change now and how you want to respond moving forward.
