Rewires negative subconscious beliefs
Encourages deep relaxation and emotional healing
Helps break free from feelings of despair and hopelessness

Why Medication Is Not Encouraged

While I’m certainly not saying that medication is all bad, especially if that is truly what your doctors believe is best for you, it is a well-known fact that depression can be a major cause of substance dependency issues.

Although many substance dependency issues revolve around illicit substances and things like alcohol, many people also tend to develop a dependency on prescription antidepressant drugs.

These drugs can also cause a variety of unintended side effects ‒ some physical and some psychological, with many of them long-term. Therefore, wherever possible, depression should be treated with minimal medication involvement to minimise the possibility of developing side effects and dependency. What’s more, medication is also extremely expensive.

How Can Hypnosis Help?

Hypnosis is an extremely effective treatment for depression. Through hypnotherapy, we can delve into the subconscious while you are in a relaxed and vulnerable state. Through this process, we can start to understand and deconstruct the belief structures that shape your perception of the world around you and your place in it.

There are many testimonies around the world of hypnotherapy being used to successfully break through the mental barriers that cause one to be stuck in a negative perpetually negative state of mind that leads to an ongoing sense of despair and hopelessness.

In our hypnotherapy appointments, we can challenge the internally held beliefs that lead you to believe that your state is incurable and permanently unsalvageable, and we can instil a sense of hope and encouragement in your subconscious so that you can move forward with greater strength and self-confidence.

If you are weighted with depression, know that you are not alone and that you have an ally on your side. For highly effective hypnotherapy for depression, take action today and start your journey to healing, book now start the path to healing and wholeness.

I have been very fortunate to have known Dr John for a good number of years and have had the privilege of benefitting from his incredible expertise in his field when it was required, with great results!
I recently went back to him with a matter that seemed to be insurmountable to me and after only one session, this was broken down in simple terms to something quite manageable, with the correct mindset and tools, which Dr John willingly equips one with.
I have been back for clarity in certain areas which Dr John unselfishly and patiently gave in detail, so that I feel empowered to move on in a positive manner independently

I have recommended Dr John to others, without hesitation, who could benefit from time with him

It really is quite remarkable how Dr John can empathise with any individual on all levels and with his perception break down any problem one would feel overwhelmed by

Highly recommended for self empowerment, peace as well as clarity of mind in order to move forward in a positive manner

I am so pleased your new journey has begun and the adventure of life has emerged.Congratulations on your success, I look forward to hearing more unfolding for you. Wishing you all the very best on your new ventures. From my heart to yours.

Dr. John is simply incredible! He is so thorough, his sessions are personalized and you leave every session feeling a new zest for life. His work is truly remarkable and such a blessing! Thank you for giving me a new and fresh start in life.
I feel free from my past traumas and stresses and a sense of determination and confidence that I lacked for most of my life, before this. I feel and see the difference in the way I interact with others and how I face life's challenges with a new sense of courage.
The healing and growth that comes from his hypnotherapy is amazing! Thank you thank you Dr. John!
