Here is a sample function for a coutour plot.
f[x_, y_] := y^2*Sin[x]
This is the regular contour plot with y increasing in the upward direction.
ContourPlot[f[x, y],
{x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, 1},
ColorFunction -> Hue,
FrameLabel -> {x, y}];
This is the same function plotted with y increasing in the downward
direction. We had to change the sign of y in the function and the domain,
and we had to use the FrameTicks option to relabel the y axis.
ContourPlot[f[x, -y],
{x, 0, Pi}, {y, -1, 0},
ColorFunction -> Hue,
FrameLabel -> {x, y},
FrameTicks -> {Automatic,
Table[{y, -y},
{y, 0, -1, -0.2}],
Automatic, Automatic}];
