How Hypnotherapy Can Support Low Mood

We all have days when our mood dips. That’s a normal part of being human. But sometimes those low days start to string together, and before you know it, you feel stuck in a cycle of flatness, lack of motivation, or even hopelessness. It’s not always easy to explain to others, and it can leave you wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and it’s important to know that change is possible. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, practical way to support your mental wellbeing and help you move toward a brighter outlook. This is how I found my way out of that cycle.

Understanding Low Mood in the Brain

When we’re feeling low, it often comes down to what’s happening in the brain. The primitive part of the brain, which is designed to protect us, can sometimes take over. It’s the part that tends to focus on the negative, keeps us stuck in patterns of worry or rumination, and drains our motivation. This means that we're also not producing enough of the positive neurotransmitters, such as dopamine or serotonin, that act as catalysts for mentally healthy behaviour.

The good news is that we can teach the brain to shift gears. Hypnotherapy helps calm the primitive brain and gives more control back to the intellectual brain, the part of us that’s rational, optimistic, and solution-focused.

How Hypnotherapy Helps Lift Mood

In each session, we combine two powerful elements. First, we have a positive, future-focused conversation, where we explore what’s going well and what small steps you’d like to take next. This helps redirect your attention away from problems and toward possibilities. Then, during guided trance, your brain enters a deeply relaxed state (a bit like daydreaming), which allows it to process worries, rehearse positive outcomes, and strengthen new patterns of thought.

Many clients notice that over time, they start to feel lighter. They describe having more energy, sleeping better, worrying less, and rediscovering a sense of hope that had been missing for a while. This is how I felt after sessions. Instead of dwelling on the negative thoughts and letting the low mood take over, I was able to take small steps and slowly start to build my life back up again. I could finally see a way out of the darkness.

Taking Small Steps Forward

It’s worth remembering that improving mood isn’t about forcing yourself to “snap out of it.” Often, it’s the small, consistent steps that make the biggest difference. That might mean getting outside for a short walk, talking to someone you trust, or finding just one positive thing in your day to focus on. Hypnotherapy can support you in making those steps feel more natural and sustainable.
