Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss

Using hypnotherapy for weight loss enables you to rewrite unwanted thoughts, behaviours and emotions, and create a healthier relationship with food.

Losing weight can be a difficult process and is certainly not made easier by the conflicting, and sometimes dangerous advice we consistently see through advertising and social media. Along with weight-loss pills and tv programmes focused on participant’s fast weight reduction, it’s no surprise you can develop a negative mindset around food.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss can help you understand why you’re struggling to maintain or reach a target weight, and help you combat the reasons why you may be sabotaging your success.

Hypnosis for weight loss may help you shed excess weight when used as part of a plan that includes diet, exercise and counselling. 

Gastric Band Hypnotherapy

I also specialise in gastric band hypnotherapy. Using a hypnotic gastric band can greatly improve your chances of successful weight management when used in certain situations.

Gastric bands are often used as a last resort, but this non-invasive alternative to surgery can have many of the positive effects. No surgery or medication is used, making it a safer, painless alternative.

Under hypnosis, I can help you, on an unconscious level, to believe that you’ve had the physical procedure and your stomach has reduced in size. The aim is for your body to respond to this suggestion by making you feel fuller quicker as if you had the real surgery. Along with recognising and addressing the issues and triggers around your overeating, a hypnotic gastric band can help you step towards making a positive change.

Benefits of Using Hypnotherapy for Weight Reduction

Willpower alone is often not enough to change your eating behaviours during a diet. In many cases, you need to get to the root cause of the problem stopping your success. I can help guide you to identify the reasons, using hypnosis to help you form good eating habits and control urges.

My hypnotherapy for weight loss will:

• Reduce your cravings to eat unhealthy foods
• Identify the triggers to why you sabotage your diet
• Improve your relationship with food
• Increase your chance for long term success

How Much Does Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss Cost?

Every client is different and will need a different number of sessions to help in losing weight for good. If you simply have trouble sticking to a healthy diet, then this will require less sessions. If you have a long-term bad relationship with food and there are underlying anxieties and issues that you wish to address, then more sessions will be needed.

The key to ensuring hypnosis works in your weight loss journey is to be truly committed to the decision.

Please note that I will not undertake hypnotherapy without prior consultation with your doctor. This is to ensure it won’t exacerbate any of your pre-existing mental health or medical conditions.

How Hypnosis for Weight Loss Works

Using hypnotherapy for weight loss will help make you feel confident about your body, change negative thoughts about eating and help you lose weight responsibly, without impacting your emotional well-being. By targeting the subconscious mind with powerful suggestions, I can help you develop a positive relationship with food and exercise.

When you're under hypnosis, your attention is highly focused and you're more responsive to suggestions, including behaviour changes that can help you lose weight.

It’s important to remember is that hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy, and therefore should be used alongside a healthy eating and exercise plan.

What to Expect from your Hypnotherapy Session

During your initial consultation, we’ll explore the reasons and triggers behind why you’re failing with your eating plans. It may be certain situations or feelings that lead you to reaching for the chocolate or biscuits. Some of these triggers may be in the subconscious, so we can explore these more during the hypnosis sessions. We’ll also discuss how the hypnosis sessions work and the suggestions I will use to help you overcome those triggers.

When you’re ready for the hypnosis part of the treatment, I’ll use various relaxation techniques to guide you into a deep, relaxed state. Once you’re in this state, I’ll start to use soothing, carefully worded scripts. We will explore your reasons for overeating or eating unhealthy foods and suggest new ways of thinking through visualisations. By understanding your reasons for not sticking to a healthy eating plan, I can help modify your thoughts towards food. You'll no longer use it as an emotional crutch when stressed occur.
