"How can I lose weight?...Is there a quick way to lose weight?...I have tried every diet under the sun...they seem to work for a while then I regain all the weight and some more!!!..."

  Diets just deal with the food side of things but as you probably now realise, this has a lot to do with other issues and food is just a part of the whole picture. To make weight loss permanent,  the psychological root cause of the weight gain needs to be identified and addressed. When meeting clients for the first time at the initial consultation, they quite often tell me that they eat out of boredom or comfort. Whilst this could be partially true, when in hypnosis, a greater insight is gained into why food plays such an important part in their life and the psychological issues that are uncovered can then be addressed to change that person's attitude towards food. This technique is a fresh and quite unique approach to the growing problem of emotional eating and subsequent obesity.

How can hypnotherapy help me to lose weight?..

1). Do you eat too quickly? Are you always the first to finish? - Hypnotherapy can help you slow down as you eat and help you to eat 'mindfully' rather than just cramming the food in your mouth.

2). Some people feel that they are trying to fill a gap in their life, perhaps loneliness or lack of love... - Hypnotherapy can give a greater insight as to what is happening at a subconscious level with regards to the deep-rooted connection that a person has between emotions and food.

3). It is quite common for food to be treated as a reward - Hypnotherapy can uncover deep-rooted childhood associations with 'being a good girl and eating all your food so now you can have dessert / go out to play / have some sweets etc'.

4). The majority of people that I see are 'plate-clearers' - When a child is born, it has an in-built function that tells it when it is hungry and when full. As a child grows up, emotional pressure is placed upon that child eg 'have one more spoonful for Mummy etc' that causes the hunger / full signals to become confused with pleasing Mummy. Hypnotherapy can uncover these deep-rooted childhood memories that will help you correctly identify the 'stop sign' that tells a person when they are full.

5). Less-common reasons for overeating are punishment and protection - these are extremely powerful subconscious issues that have their roots in poor self esteem, self belief and confidence from a young age - Hypnotherapy can give a greater insight as to the root causes of these issues and deal with them at a subconscious level.
