Case Study: Helping Katie Overcome Depression with Hypnotherapy in County Monaghan
Finding Freedom from Within
Katie came to me in her early 40s, looking for support with depression. From the outside, everything in her life seemed good—she had a loving husband and two great children. But deep down, she was battling feelings of loneliness and emptiness that just wouldn’t go away. She’d been on and off medication for two years, using it to numb the pain, but she knew she needed something more.
The Struggles Beneath the Surface
Like many clients I work with here in County Monaghan, Katie felt stuck. Her main challenges were:
Feeling emotionally disconnected despite a stable home life
A deep-rooted belief that she wasn’t good enough
Childhood experiences of being invisible and bullied
Ongoing depression and reliance on medication
Katie wanted to feel confident again and have a reason to get up in the morning. Most of all, she wanted to feel like herself.
My Approach: Root-Cause Hypnotherapy
I worked with Katie over a structured 10-session programme—my standard approach when tackling a specific issue in depth. Using regression therapy through hypnosis, we gently explored the root causes of her emotions. We uncovered old patterns shaped by childhood rejection and painful memories that she had never fully processed.
Together, we:
Reframed those early experiences to release stuck emotions
Challenged and rewrote limiting beliefs
Created space for new, empowering thoughts and feelings
Focused the final sessions on setting a new life direction
We also spent time working on her confidence and helping her visualise the next chapter of her life—work, purpose, and joy.
The Transformation
By the end of our work together, Katie had drastically shifted her emotional state. The voice that used to tell her she wasn’t good enough had gone quiet. She felt lighter, clearer, and more in control of her choices.
She also landed a part-time job she had always wanted, and is working towards a permanent role. Her story is a beautiful reminder that when we process the past, we can move into the future with clarity and purpose.
In Katie’s Words:
“Hypnotherapy with Dorren has really changed me. I’ve been equipped with tools that I can dip into anytime, and they’ve truly changed my life. I connect more easily with my inner self now. Dorren is so passionate—she goes above and beyond.”
