Hypnotherapy For Weight Management & Food Relationships
My Passion For Change
I am passionate about this area as it is destructive to so many lives.
Living a life where food is energy for the purpose of fuelling our body and allowing us to function effectively, is a key message that I give to my clients. Everyone has the resource within them to change their patterns of thought regardless of how long that pattern has been running for.
There was a time when you didn’t think about food in the way you do now.
Maybe it’s been used as a coping mechanism or simply a habit that feels uncomfortable to change. This method is not simply about losing weight it’s a holistic approach to your relationship with food.
From an early age many of us had it drummed in that we had to have 3 meals a day. Our brains therefore think something is wrong if we skip a meal, even if we’re not hungry or we’ve had a big lunch that our digestive system is struggling with. We still have dinner because we were told we needed 3 meals a day!
How I Use Hypnotherapy For Weight Loss
My aim is to work closely with you to realise that food is just a small part of our existence, it doesn’t relieve stress, it’s not entertainment and it doesn’t serve us very well as a treat. Pleasure can be found in so many other areas of our lives, but it’s possible these are being avoided due to your relationship with food.
By changing this destructive relationship with food, you can open up your life to new experiences, function better, enjoy movement, sleep better, allow your body to work effectively, limit disease, and have more energy to name a few.
While our digestive system is overloaded it makes us feel tired and sluggish. This is a vicious cycle as it then draws us to a quick pick up such as sugar or coffee. This then leaves us tired again as insulin spikes then sharply falls, and so the cycle begins again.
Case Study B
Weight Management
Client B came to me with a longstanding, difficult relationship with food. She struggled with weight, sugary foods, and portion sizes.
Rather than focusing on nutrition or meal sizes, our work centred on the deeper, long‑term issues that had been holding her back, including procrastination, organisation, and motivation in certain areas of her life.
​
We focused on building motivation for change, interrupting old patterns, and strengthening self‑care and self‑worth while gradually building confidence. As these areas improved, Client B became better able to plan her week effectively, creating space for gym sessions and meal planning. She began identifying alternatives, as well as recognising when she was eating simply out of habit rather than hunger.
​
Together, we dismantled outdated patterns and replaced them with more supportive ones. Issues around food relationships are some of the most complex and persistent challenges I work with; they require resetting, balance, and the release of long‑held beliefs about food.
​
Client B needed some time for the ideas to take hold, but over time the changes became embedded. Eighteen months on, the new patterns and habits remain firmly in place. This approach differs significantly from dieting, as it focuses on changing underlying beliefs and behaviours rather than imposing short‑term rules.
Find Freedom!
I will work closely with you to find out what patterns of thought and behaviour around food you are running.
I will then seek to interrupt that pattern so it can no longer run, giving you the freedom to move forward and enjoy life.
This programme is challenging and requires commitment. 6 sessions will initially be carried out weekly where possible. Follow up sessions will be required but will be less frequent. Following a free 30-minute consultation I will recommend a programme for you specifically.
**I do not treat clinically diagnosed eating disorders**
**I do not give dietary advice. It is recommended that you see a GP/dietician or nutritionist prior to any weight change programme**
