Depression can affect energy, sleep, motivation, confidence, relationships and the ability to enjoy everyday life. It can also make reaching out for support feel harder than it should.

This video shares one real client’s personal experience with Clive Westwood Hypnotherapy Brisbane. It is a testimonial, not a promise that another person will experience the same outcome.

A real client testimonial about change

Every person’s experience of depression, low mood and emotional exhaustion is different. This client video offers an individual perspective on seeking support and making positive changes at their own pace.

Clive Westwood has been practising hypnotherapy since 2013. He provides calm, private and non-judgmental one-to-one sessions for people who want support with anxiety, stress, overthinking, confidence, relaxation and personal change.

Depression needs appropriate professional care

Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical, psychological or psychiatric treatment for depression.

If you are experiencing persistent low mood, loss of interest, changes in sleep or appetite, hopelessness, self-harm thoughts, or difficulties coping with everyday life, please speak with a GP, psychologist, psychiatrist or qualified mental-health professional. They can assess what is happening and discuss appropriate care and support.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000. Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14. Find Australian mental-health helplines through Healthdirect.

Complementary support for your personal goals

Where appropriate, hypnotherapy may be discussed as complementary support alongside suitable professional care. A session may focus on a separate personal goal, such as:

• Managing stress and physical tension

• Improving relaxation or sleep routines

• Reducing unhelpful overthinking

• Rebuilding confidence and motivation

• Creating manageable routines and positive habits

• Preparing for work, study or social situations

Clive listens to what you would like to change and tailors each session to your experiences, goals and pace. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable discussing, and no promise of a particular result.

Frequently asked questions

Can hypnotherapy clear depression?

Depression is a health concern that should be assessed and treated by an appropriate medical or mental-health professional. Hypnotherapy is not a cure or replacement for that care. For some people receiving suitable professional support, it may be considered as complementary support for a separate goal such as relaxation, stress, sleep or confidence.

What is this client testimonial?

It is one person’s account of their own experience. It does not guarantee that any other person will have the same experience or outcome.

Is the appointment confidential?

Clive offers private, one-to-one sessions in a respectful and non-judgmental setting. If you are worried about your mental health or safety, please also speak with a GP or mental-health professional.

Can I book an appointment?

If you are receiving appropriate medical or psychological care and wish to discuss whether complementary hypnotherapy may suit a separate personal goal, you can enquire about a Brisbane or online appointment.
