Depression
Depression is not something you can just “snap out” of. It is a serious medical condition and needs to be treated. Psychotherapy is an effective way to treat depression, and can in some instances be successfully combined with medication. Psychotherapy assists you to understand what depression is, how it affects you, and what causes it.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is usually a rapid intervention that establishes and enhances feelings of empowerment or confidence. You can also access hidden memories and reach a stage of new insight where previously unconscious motivations are understood. Hypnotherapy can also release your fear and/or previously repressed emotion that could be affecting your emotional state and behaviour today.
