Weight Management

Whether overweight, underweight or maybe struggling to deal with an eating pattern that’s causing distress, many people's lives are dominated by their relationship with food and some may recognise they use food to help change the way they feel about themselves or their circumstances.

Becoming aware of this relationship, why it first formed and what it means for you now, are the first important steps to tackling this problem in a way that gives the best chance of producing permanent change.

Together we'll work to change this relationship. As well as identifying any underlying cause we'll establish and use your own strengths and resources along with hypnotic suggestion to develop your ability to bring your eating under control. And you'll be able to measure the results in more than just inches and pounds. Being in control of your weight will boost your confidence tremendously, and only you know just what benefits that could bring into your life.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy has been successful in helping people with eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. Obviously these are very serious conditions but the process of their treatment is broadly the same as that outlined above. The emphasis is still very much on understanding, at a personal level, exactly which aspect of the way the client thinks, feels or behaves needs to change so that we can start to make a difference to the pattern of their condition.

Please be aware that if a doctor or other medical or caring professional is already involved in your care then I would only proceed with their knowledge and consent. If they are not already involved but I feel they should be then I may not be able to work with you unless that situation changes.

I'm happy to help you come to terms with this before we address your main problem.
