Hypnotherapy
and NLP Wins Where Diets Fail

Just the mere word 'diet' implies something you do temporarily. You diet against your normal eating patterns which are controlled by your unconscious mind. You may lose weight, but it is usually only temporary. As soon as you stop dieting, your old eating habits and beliefs return again and your body goes back to what it was doing before the diet. |
In the long term diets mostly lead to people gaining more weight than they started with, according to the meta-analysis of diet studies reported in the Guardian newspaper:
Diets
don't work in long term, says survey

Your unconscious mind holds all your beliefs and habits concerning food. These are beliefs and habits you may not even be aware you have, and it is these that keep the weight on your body.
Your unconscious mind is very powerful, so no matter how hard you try to break a habit at a conscious level of mind, the unconscious will always win, eventually causing you to go back to what it considers 'normal' behaviour for you.
| Through hypnosis, we can speak directly to your unconscious mind and speed up the process of change by altering your negative beliefs and habits. And even though your unconscious mind is more powerful than your conscious mind, it readily accepts new information when you bypass what we call the Critical Factor, which is what happens during hypnosis. |  |
As you can see, in order to make true, permanent changes in your life, it is necessary to get your unconscious mind in agreement with what you want to accomplish, rather than fighting and struggling to work against it.
 |
Regular hypnotic support is the perfect way to build more healthy eating patterns and maintain high motivation, and is the key to the truly remarkable results possible with hypnotherapy. Hypnosis will have you WANTING to eat the right kinds of foods, WANTING to drink more water, WANTING to exercise. Put yourself on a mental diet and start losing weight automatically. |
Weight is usually a symptom of an underlying issue. In hypnotherapy we can address these issues.

Start Transforming Your Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviour
Around Food and Exercise Now
I am a professional qualified and experienced Advanced Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, Life Coach and a Licensed NLP Master Practitioner. I was trained by Paul McKenna, and by Dr Richard Bandler - the creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I combine all my skills and experience to produce a treatment that is tailored to your needs. So that I can help you to control your weight in the most effortless ways possible.
| The treatment combines Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which are individually recognised as highly successful ways of changing peoples behaviours and perceptions. So I'm sure you can imagine the amazing benefits of combining these powerful processes, allowing you to quickly and easily change the thoughts and behaviours you currently have surrounding eating and losing weight. Willpower becomes unnecessary as you just find yourself changing in beneficial ways. |  |
The Weight Reduction Treatment Overview
The Weight Reduction treatment addresses the common behavioural and emotional problems of over eaters. During the treatment you will become familiar with the hypnotherapy process, allowing you to learn that it is safe and pleasant, and that you are in complete control at all times.
The first sessions begin to break the cycle of bad eating habits and weight gain, and are scheduled at regular intervals. They explore and build the core skills necessary to begin the process of changing your eating habits, resolving inner conflicts, building motivation, reducing stress, changing your beliefs and emotional reactions to food and taking control of your eating. In addition to the hypnotherapy, you will also receive training in self-hypnosis, motivation techniques, stress management and simple NLP techniques so that you can begin to take more control of eating habits, your thoughts, emotions and your life.
Between sessions you are expected to continue to work on your issues using the techniques you've been taught.
The final sessions may only be attended as you achieve certain agreed weight targets. During these sessions we will strengthen and build upon the work already done in the first sessions by continuing to help you to change your relationship to food and the food choices you make, and work with boosting your motivation to exercise and finally putting it all together for lasting results.
Your rate of weight loss does depend on your commitment and involvement in the process, but generally most people will take between 2 and 6 months to complete the entire process.
When considering the rest of your life, just how much is your health and well-being worth to you?

Treatment usually takes between 4 to 8 sessions spread out over a number of months. The treatment is adjusted for your specific requirements, so the exact number of sessions required will vary. Each session lasts 1 hour (see the consultation fees page for prices and discounts.) |
One of the
secrets to long term weight control is sustaining motivation. Scheduling
motivation sessions at monthly intervals for several months and then stretched
out to quarterly hypnosis sessions assures long term, lasting success.
Additional 'motivational' sessions can be booked as and when needed.
Is The Weight Reduction Treatment Suitable for You?
The Weight Reduction Treatment will be suitable for people who:
| - Eat according to external cues, not internal hunger signals | - Eat for emotional comfort. Food is an antidote for emotional distress |
| - Reward themselves with food | - Told not to waste food as a child |
| - Place little value on physical exercise | - Indentify themselves as an overweight person and eat accordingly |
| - Do not control or understand portion sizes | - Eat beyond the point where other people would feel full or satisfied |
| - Eat while doing other things (TV, reading, talking etc.) | - Think of dieting as deprivation and starvation |
| - Plan social activities around food | As a child told it is disrespectful not to clear the plate |
| - Prefer sweet or fattening foods | - No awareness of the physical sensations of feeling full or satisfied |
| - Do not realise or underestimate how much food they eat in a day |
- Do not know how much they weight because they are embarressed to get on the scales |
| - Not motivated to exercise | - Have followed diets and then given up as they reach their target weight. |
| - Diagnosed as a compulsive eater | - Obsess about food all day |
PLEASE NOTE: It is important to have a thorough medical examination to rule out any medical issues that may be contributing to weight gain or preventing weight reduction.
The Weight Reduction Treatment will not be suitable for people with the following issues:
| - Hormonal Imbalances (woman only) | - Hypothyroidism | - Metabolic Syndrome |
| - Hyper-Insulinemia | - An Active Malignancy | - Recent Surgery |
| - Insulin-Dependant Diabetes (type 1) | - Pregnancy or Lactation | - Anorexia (see Alternative Treatment Options) |
| - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome | - Bulimia (see Alternative Treatment Options below) | - Abusing Alcohol or Drugs (see Alternative Treatment Options below) |
| - In the midst of a major life crisis (see Alternative Treatment Options below) | - Psychotic Disorders |

Clients' Comments

'A note to thank you for the work you did with me over the past weeks. I feel much more focused, more care free and have a healthy amount of realistic self belief. The last session in particular seemed to clear something much more fundamental than the eating thing. I
think you are a highly skilled and effective practitioner and I
count myself as lucky to have come across you. Thank you again.
