Unlock Your Happiness: How Counselling and Hypnotherapy Can Ease Depression and Low Mood
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by sadness or trapped in a cycle of low mood, wondering if there’s a way out? You’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with depression, and research shows that nearly one in six adults experience depression at some point in their lives. The good news is that effective support is available. At OLIP Therapy, we specialise in counselling and hypnotherapy to help you break free from the grip of depression and rediscover a brighter, more fulfilling life.
1. Understanding Depression: Beyond the Blues
Depression is more than just feeling sad - it’s a complex mental health condition that affects your emotions, thoughts, and physical well-being. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting over 264 million people. The impact of depression can be far-reaching, influencing your relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
At OLIP Therapy, we begin by helping you understand your unique experience of depression. In our sessions, we explore the root causes of your low mood, whether they stem from past trauma, chronic stress, or genetic predispositions. By identifying these underlying factors, our expert counsellors and hypnotherapists can create a personalised treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and the causes of your depression.
2. Counselling: A Pathway to Emotional Healing
Counselling, or talk therapy, is a powerful tool for managing depression. It provides a safe, supportive environment where you can express your feelings, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies. Research from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) indicates that therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can reduce depression symptoms by up to 50% in many individuals.
During counselling sessions at OLIP Therapy, our skilled therapists use evidence-based approaches to help you:
Identify and reframe negative self-talk: Transforming harmful thoughts into empowering beliefs.
Build resilience: Learning strategies to cope with stress and prevent future depressive episodes.
Strengthen interpersonal relationships: Enhancing communication and connection with those around you.
Those who struggle with persistent feelings of worthlessness learn to challenge the thought “I am not good enough” through CBT. Over time, this helps to develop a more positive self-image, leading to improved mood and better relationships.
3. Hypnotherapy: Reaching the Subconscious for Lasting Change
While counselling works on the conscious level, hypnotherapy goes deeper - accessing the subconscious mind where many of your negative beliefs and emotional triggers reside. Hypnotherapy is particularly effective in reprogramming these deep-seated thought patterns that contribute to depression.
Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can lead to significant improvements in mood and anxiety levels, with some research suggesting a 93% success rate in reducing symptoms after just a few sessions. At OLIP Therapy, our hypnotherapy sessions are designed to guide you into a state of deep relaxation, where your mind is more receptive to positive suggestions. This process helps you:
Release deep-seated emotional pain: Letting go of past hurts that fuel your depression.
Rebuild your self-worth: Instilling empowering affirmations and visualisations that promote confidence.
Reduce stress and anxiety: Lowering your overall stress levels, which can exacerbate depressive symptoms.
Many clients have shared that even after just one hypnotherapy session, they begin to experience a profound shift in their outlook. They feel a renewed sense of calm and are able to approach daily challenges with greater resilience - a transformation that significantly improves their overall quality of life.
