As we build our capacity for self compassion, we become more in tune with what will be nourishing for our bodies. In therapy we focus on what has happened to us that made us disconnect from our bodies in this way. We explore what eating foods that cause unhealthy weight gain do for us; do we eat for comfort, for relief, for relaxation, disconnection and so on. Which part of us enjoys feeling full, eating to ease emotions and so on. Working with me to support your weight issues will provide you with tools to support yourself through emotional eating patterns that have been difficult to change.

Clients who work with me for weight loss take part in 2-4 RTT Hypnosis weight loss sessions to help break through the root cause of their weight gain and proactively set them up for success with weight loss.
In today’s busy life where we don’t have time for ourselves, overweight is becoming a big problem. Being overweight may lead to serious health risk. Overweight is an outcome of multiple issues which can be treated through psychotherapy.

Weight management continues to be a struggle for most people, even though now we are equipped with more knowledge and understanding of fitness and nutrition than ever before. For many people weight loss does not simply involve balancing physical activity, and food intake. For those who use food to cope with stress and distress, having the capacity to handle distressing emotions effectively is vital to weight management. Counselling and coaching can help you address and understand your relationship with mood and food, enabling you to be in control of your body and mind.
There is a sense of strength, groundedness, and well-being that comes from truly accepting and believing in yourself. Often, how we see ourselves and our sense of worth stands in the way to our weight loss goals. I can support you to build self-acceptance and to identify and avoid self-sabotaging behaviours.
