Finding Light Again – How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Can Support You Through Depression

Depression can feel like a heavy fog that settles over everything, dulling your energy, clouding your thoughts, and stealing the joy you once found in life. It’s more than simply “feeling down.” It can affect your sleep, your appetite, your relationships, and even how you see yourself.

But here’s something important to remember: there is nothing broken about you. Your mind is doing what it believes will keep you safe, it’s just become stuck in patterns that are no longer helpful. The good news is, these patterns can change.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you gently shift your mind towards balance, clarity, and hope, so you can start to feel like yourself again.

What Depression Can Feel Like

Depression is different for everyone, but it might include:

A low mood or sadness that lingers for weeks or longer
Loss of motivation or interest in things you used to enjoy
Fatigue or feeling like everything takes extra effort
Negative thoughts about yourself or the future
Changes in sleep - sleeping too much or struggling to sleep at all
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
Withdrawing from others and feeling isolated

If any of this resonates with you, please remember, you’re not alone. And you do not have to stay in this place.

What Is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, uplifting approach that combines positive, goal-oriented talking therapy with the calming, restorative state of hypnosis.

Rather than focusing on what’s “wrong,” Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you recognise your strengths and explore the small, meaningful steps that can move you towards feeling better. It’s about helping your brain work for you again, rather than against you.

This is a safe, respectful space where you’re encouraged to imagine, and begin creating, a future that feels lighter, more manageable, and more hopeful.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) is a modern, positive, goal‑oriented approach combining gentle talking therapy with the deep relaxation of hypnosis. Rather than dwelling on the past or analysing problems endlessly, it helps you build on your strengths and take meaningful steps toward a calmer, more confident future.
SFH supports you by:
- Facilitating deep relaxation so your nervous system can settle.
- Helping you reconnect with your inner strengths and resources.
- Guiding you away from unhelpful thought‑patterns toward more constructive ones.
- Supporting improvements in sleep, energy, and overall wellbeing.
- Encouraging gentle, sustainable progress rather than pressure to “fix everything” at once.
No. With SFH you don't have to revisit painful experiences unless you choose to. The focus is on where you want to go and how we can move gently toward that future together, in a safe and supportive way.
Every person’s journey is unique. Some clients begin to feel changes after just a few sessions, while others benefit from a slightly longer series. SFH emphasises consistent, manageable steps rather than a fixed number of sessions, allowing you to progress at your own pace.
Yes - hypnotherapy, when performed by a qualified practitioner like those at Trancespire, is a safe and well‑established method. You will remain fully aware and in control throughout. It is not a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment, but it can be a valuable complement to other supports you are using.
SFH is helpful for:
- Persistent low mood, feeling “down” or flat for weeks or longer
- Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
- Fatigue, feeling everything takes extra effort
- Negative thoughts about yourself, guilt, worthlessness
- Changes in sleep, appetite, mood and withdrawal from others
If any of these resonate, SFH offers a gentle way forward.
During a session, you will:
1. Reflect on what’s going well – even small positive aspects are explored and amplified.
2. Learn about your brain – understanding how your mind works can make it easier to take control of thoughts and emotions.
3. Identify small steps toward change – manageable actions that gradually build confidence and resilience.
4. Hypnosis – a relaxing, focused state where your mind is more open to positive suggestions, supporting the progress you’ve made.
You’ll leave feeling calmer, clearer, and with practical steps to move forward.
