You are not a failing at diets, diet culture is failing you. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I can help you to integrate food and movement in a compassionate and intuitive way. We will address the two extremes of binging and restricting and what’s fuelling this vicious cycle underneath the surface so that you can find true peace with your body and food.
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 loss is a journey that involves a lot more than losing physical weight. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can really help as a compliment to other supports in weight loss in that it can really help to unpack the belief system you have in connection with food from childhood where most of the culprits are. By getting to the roots of overeating, undereating, emotional eating, etc., we can help support awareness of their origins which tends to help us break patterns that are not benefitting us and introduce new ones.

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.
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.
By finding root cause of your issue with your weight gain or inability to lose weight, we can change from the deep subconscious roots and clear your habits of thinking and behaviours with hypnotherapy, mediation and energy healing.
