Hypnotherapy for weight loss

Many people have used hypnotherapy as a means to lose weight and take back control over food. Obesity is one of the most serious medical problems in the developed countries and causes approximately 30,000 deaths a year in England alone. Being overweight or obese can result in individuals suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and osteoarthritis. You are also more likely to develop several types of cancer. Around one in every 11 deaths in the UK is now linked to carrying excess fat. Being overweight can cause serious physical and emotional side effects.

Together we will identify the main cause for your over eating and by using hypnotherapy alter your way of thinking towards food, to achieve a healthier lifestyle and it is this that will become a habit.

In the society we live in, body image is very important; if we look and feel healthy we generally have a higher self–esteem. Our self-esteem should arise from within us, however the effect of external influences throughout our lives often mean we find this inner confidence unattainable. If we are told that we are unattractive we may accept this as our identity, thus ensuring we remain within this given identity, so sustaining that image.

The hypnotherapy sessions will be tailored to meet your individual needs and will result in you feeling psychologically in control and overall more relaxed around food. I will assist you in understanding detrimental eating patterns so you can successfully change them.This is accomplished by transforming restrictive beliefs so you have a different emotional reaction to the foods you currently eat, thus changing your relationship with food.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss is not like conventional weight loss regimes it is focussed around the individual client and their particular issues. It is not based on deprivation; I will not ask you to ‘give things up’. You will be encouraged to reassess you’re eating along with your subconscious being reprogrammed into eating healthily. If required we will identify where this programming originated, this will help to remove any blame and empower you through understanding your situation.
