Low Mood, Stress & Emotional Wellbeing
Periods of low mood can follow long stretches of stress, poor sleep, loss, change or simply having too much to carry for too long. You may feel flat, irritable, disconnected or mentally exhausted, even while continuing to work and look after everyone else.
When low mood may need medical support
Low mood is something many people experience. Depression is a medical condition that should be assessed by a GP or suitably qualified mental-health professional.
I do not diagnose or treat depression, and hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical or psychological care. If you think you may be depressed, please speak to your GP or contact NHS Talking Therapies.
The focus of my sessions
If the wider picture has been appropriately assessed, you may still value having calm, structured time to focus on sleep, stress and the parts of everyday life that feel manageable to influence.
My sessions can include:
- guided relaxation
- understanding how stress and poor sleep may be affecting daily life
- identifying manageable changes and routines
- building confidence in the steps you have decided to take
The work stays within these wellbeing goals. I will not advise you to stop medication or replace care recommended by your GP or another healthcare professional.
Is this the right starting point?
If your main concern is stress, sleep, general low mood or feeling emotionally worn down, you are welcome to contact me and ask whether my approach fits what you are looking for.
If you have persistent symptoms of depression, are already receiving treatment, or are unsure what kind of help you need, begin with your GP or NHS Talking Therapies.
