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' behavior for you. Through psychotherapy, 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 therapy.

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 support in therapy is the perfect way to build more healthy eating patterns and maintain high motivation, and is the key to the truly remarkable results possible.

Weight is usually a symptom of an underlying issue. In therapy we can address these issues. Common weight related issues include:

• Emotional issues
• False body image
• Negative thinking
• Early childhood habits
• Improper nutrition (are you a fast food junkie?)
• Information overload; What food is good/bad for me? What should I count? Carbohydrates? Fats? Protein? Calories?
• Lack of motivation to exercise
• Not drinking enough water
• Snacking
• Eating too quickly
• Eating late
• Skipping meals
• Binge eating
• How much should I weigh?

• Remove your desire to over eat
• Healthy eating
• Form a positive self image
• Avoiding certain foods
• Produces stronger feelings of inner strength and determination
• Reduce your stress level
• Love to exercise regularly
• Improve your feel-good factor, confidence and positive thinking
• Occasionally weight gain can be caused by a past event; uncovering and healing this can help
• There can sometimes be a unconscious reason why you stay fat, Hypnosis can replace weight gain with something far more healthy

I am a professional qualified and experienced Naturopath, Nutritionist, Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist Trainee, Life Coach and NLP Master Practitioner. 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, Nutrition, Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which are individually recognized as highly successful ways of changing peoples behaviors 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 behaviors you currently have surrounding eating and losing weight. Willpower becomes unnecessary as you just find yourself changing in beneficial ways.

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 session of the treatment begins to break the cycle of weight gain and starts to change the way you think, feel and react around food.

We will work together to release old unresourceful thought patterns that have been triggering or maintaining your symptoms and help you to develop new enhancing positive thought patterns.

Whether you binge or snack or have stopped exercising or just keep slowly gaining through poor habits, this will begin to turn things around for you and get you started on the right path.

Expect to lose weight as you change your mind about your body.
