My weight programme is done in 4/5 sessions at 2/3 weekly intervals.  It incorporates hypnosis and a new treatment called EFT. 

For hypnotherapists - NCH articles (published in the Hypnotherapy Journal 2008) can be obtained directly from me - just send me an email

When we work using hypnosis we are working directly with the unconscious mind.  This is our control centre.  If you are trying to lose weight and failing you will be aware that it is your mind that is doing the damage…telling you things to make you feel weak or bad or guilty or just making you think about food all the time!!  In addition you will know that eating nice food is a good short term answer to a whole load of life’s problems and day to day stresses. It is no wonder it is so hard to lose weight.  So I would say to you that what needs to happen is for the “life” and its attendant problems to be addressed and sorted while the hypnosis also allows losing weight to become easy and enjoyable.

Emotions are part of the mind/body/spirit connection too so by working at a deep inner level we can get emotional comfort eating under control too.

It is not possible to undo many years of negative thinking and problems involving using food as a coping strategy in one session.  Like all things worthwhile it has to be worked at which is why I say that 4 or 5 sessions are required to do the work properly.  In between sessions CD’s of hypnosis are used regularly to reinforce the suggestions to lose weight and change eating habits.

I am not a fan of using negative or aversion techniques although I know some other therapists will make you feel sick when you think about chocolate for example – it's quite easy for us to do. However, I believe we have to grow a healthy and happy relationship with food – we already have sufficient dysfunctional thinking about food as it is - so making it worse will not make you a better person. Food has to assume its rightful place in your life – nourishment, treats, lovely meals out, all these things cannot be achieved if you retain negative rubbish on the subject of food, weight and your body shape!

My job is to make losing weight so enjoyable, fun, exciting and so successful that it is best part of your life – you simply love doing it - so the programme is designed to make you feel better right from the start and will work for everyone as long as you do the hypnosis and EFT exactly as I ask.  Simple, but true!!!

So to sum up, the programme is designed to:

	Build iron willpower Get control of eating Eliminate bad eating habits Increase confidence Reduce food intake Eliminate emotional eating Get rid of guilt and other unhelpful emotions Make you feel worthy and good about yourself

After the treatment with me finishes, you get another CD called Weight 2 to take away which is designed to keep you going in the long term.  Many clients feel motivated to join or rejoin a slimming club to keep them focussed or to join a gym or just keep going with the hypnosis…you can never do too much hypnosis, it is like taking mental and emotional vitamin pills and certainly reaches parts other treatments do not!!

The programme is for people who have failed to lose weight by conventional methods or have emotional problems with weight loss or just feel stuck.

Phone for an appointment if you wish to come. I can usually offer you a free chat to make sure you really want to do the weight loss therapy with me – it's important that you have confidence in me before we begin.

Charges are £60 per session (as from April 2007) and this includes all your CD's and any support I give you between sessions.
