Hypnotherapy for Weight Management

Hypnotherapy may support a healthier relationship with food, and help you change habits and responses that make weight management difficult. It works alongside, not instead of, medical and dietary advice.

Hypnotherapy may help with this, but I do not claim it cures medical conditions. We will always talk through whether it is a suitable approach for you.

More than willpower

Weight difficulties are rarely just about willpower. Habits, stress, emotions, routines and long-held beliefs about food and body image all play a part. Many people have tried several approaches and feel frustrated at ending up back where they started.

How hypnotherapy may help

Hypnotherapy may support a healthier relationship with food. In a relaxed, focused state, many people find it easier to notice automatic habits, reconsider responses to stress or boredom, and strengthen motivation for the changes they want to make.

Alongside, not instead of, medical advice

Hypnotherapy works best alongside sensible eating and activity, not as a replacement for them. It is not a substitute for medical or dietary advice. If you have a health condition, take medication, or are unsure whether weight loss is right for you, please speak to your GP first. I do not offer diet plans or promise particular amounts of weight loss.

What to expect

At your consultation we talk about your goals, your history with food and weight, and what has and has not worked before. I also ask about your general health and wellbeing as part of screening. If I think another kind of support would suit you better, I will say so.

Common questions

Will hypnotherapy make me lose weight?

It may support habit and mindset change alongside sensible eating and activity. It is not a quick fix and results vary.

Do I need to see my GP first?

Not usually, but if you have a medical condition or are unsure, check with your GP.

What to expect

Sessions take place online by secure video, on Thursdays, and last around 45 to 55 minutes. Your first consultation is free and confidential. We talk through what brings you to therapy and whether hypnotherapy is right for you. You stay awake, aware and in control throughout.
