How Hypnotherapy Can Support Depression
Hypnosis creates a calm, focused state that can make it easier to shift unhelpful thought loops, reduce mental fatigue, and rebuild daily momentum. We pair guided therapeutic hypnosis with simple skills you can practice between sessions.
+What hypnotherapy may help with
- Reducing rumination and self-critical inner talk
- Supporting better sleep and morning energy
- Re-engaging interest and motivation through future-paced imagery
- Building steadier daily routines and self-care habits
+What sessions look like
- Supportive intake: goals, symptoms, history & daily routines
- Stabilization skills: calm breathing, grounding & cognitive reframes
- Guided therapeutic hypnosis: identify underlying patterns/triggers, then gently reframe with positive imagery
- Between-session at-home practice tools: brief practices & self-hypnosis audios
+Will I stay in control?
Yes. You remain aware and in control. We work collaboratively and you can pause at any time. Hypnotherapy is complementary and not a substitute for medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Is hypnotherapy a replacement for medication or psychotherapy?
No. Hypnotherapy is a complementary approach. Many clients use it alongside guidance from their physician or mental-health provider. Always speak with your doctor before changing medications.
+ How many sessions will I need?
Most people notice benefits within 3–6 sessions, depending on goals and severity of symptoms. We’ll review progress each visit and adapt the plan.
+ Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Secure online sessions are available worldwide, as well as in-person appointments in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
+ What if I feel too low to practice between sessions?
We’ll keep practices short and doable (often 2–5 minutes). Small steps, done consistently, create momentum without overwhelm.
+ What if I’m in crisis?
If you are in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, contact local emergency services immediately. Hypnotherapy is not a crisis service.
