I offer a 5 week program to help with weight loss using a combination of hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)

The first appointment is 90 minutes long where I will take an in depth history of your eating issues and habits. No hypnosis takes place during this session but you will receive a relaxation recording to listen to at home. You will also be given some (hopefully) fun homework tasks to do before your next session.

The second session will involve some CBT and Thought Stopping. The hypnotherapy will involve taking control over your eating and saying no to excess food. The third session will involve discussion on your progress, examining your food diary, and hypnotherapy to encourage eating more healthily. The fourth session will involve further discussion on how you have been getting on, and working on a complete weight information checklist, looking at any food cravings and dealing with these using CBT. The hypnotherapy during this session will focus on encouraging exercise and taking care of yourself, promoting a positive self image. The fifth session will involve comparing your food diary with the first week and looking at your goals to see how you have succeeded, before setting further goals. The hypnotherapy involves teaching you self hypnosis and focuses on healthy eating, eating smaller portions and eating slowly, and dealing with anything you are not happy with or having particular trouble with.

How Hypnotherapy can help with Weight Management

This approach involves individual sessions looking at the emotional reasons why you eat, working together to build upon motivational levels for achieving your goal. We will be looking at ways exercise can be built into your lifestyle and looking toward changing behaviours which make you over-eat or comfort eat. Weight Management is a very personal and complex problem to deal with but I will be committed to working with all clients to bring about positive good eating habits, good self esteem and body image. Each client I see will have their own individual relationship with food so I will work with you to find the triggers that make you over-eat or comfort eat particular food. I will work on reducing your food cravings, and help you enjoy an increased amount of exercise as a natural part of your lifestyle. I will spend time to support you through your weight loss programme until you feel that you can manage on your own without additional hypnotherapy support.
