Hypnotherapy for Weight Management
I offer two different weight management programmes......
1. Solution focused hypnotherapy
How would you like to use the power of your mind to help you manage your weight, beat unhealthy food cravings, feel lighter, fitter, healthier, more attractive, and comfortably fit into all your favourite clothes again?
This isn't a diet, this is a re-set of your relationship towards food. Your mind plays an instrumental part in your success with weight management and I can help you to make it happen. We work in collaboration as a partnership, to address any underlying psychological barriers such as emotional eating, sugar addiction, anxiety, stress, or low moods.
This is a very positive solution-focused therapy where we work on the solutions that suit you, to help you move forward. Working on a 1-1 basis, you will be encouraged to reach your goals in a way that resonates with you, as the individual that you are. You will also learn tools and techniques that you can use for life to help with confidence, to manage stress, to resist cravings, and more.

2. The Hypno-band weight loss system
As featured on channel 4's Embarrassing Fat Bodies
If you have a BMI of over 25 the Hypnoband may be for you (check your BMI here).
The HypnoBand is the World Leader in gastric band hypnotherapy and is the original Virtual Gastric Band method in UK, USA, Australia and many more countries.
The HYPNOBAND System is a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy techniques that help you explore, analyze and change your eating habits for good. Using hypnosis and the mind/body connection we fit a "virtual gastric band" to your stomach, helping you to eat smaller healthier meals and less often. This is NOT a crash diet, the aim is to help you to eat normally and healthily so that you don't need to 'diet'.
Most over weight people are stuck in a cycle of dieting and over eating, the Hypno-Band weight loss system is designed to help you stop yoyo dieting and restore normal eating patterns so that you can enjoy your food without feeling guilty or deprived.

How many appointments will I need?
You will need three to four 90 minutes appointments, £65 each. I understand that losing weight can be difficult at times so I allow plenty of time at each appointment to resolve any underlying issues, I also encourage you to make use of the free telephone and email support between sessions, I'm here for you when you need that extra bit of help. I also provide 3 CD's to use at home.
1st appointment
A full dietary and medical history will be taken and an initial assessment done before commencing. We will then look at your eating habits and your relationship with food and you will be asked to keep a food diary over the next few weeks. During this session you will also be introduced to CBT, EFT and hypnosis and experience the fantastic feelings of relaxation and calmness which results from being hypnotised. You will be provided with your first CD to use at home to reinforce the session.
Then.......... you begin your journey to losing weight
2nd appointment: Pre-surgery
This is the pre-surgery session where you will encounter the HYPNO-BAND and we will begin the process of having the virtual gastric band fitted. We also look more deeply at your eating habits and ways to make healthy changes to what you eat.
3rd appointment: Surgery
In this session the HYPNO-BAND virtual gastric band will be fitted. You will be given your second CD to use at home to reinforce the HYPNO-BAND surgery.
4th appointment: Adjustment
Four to six weeks after surgery the process is reinforced and the HYPNO-BAND adjusted if required (this is rarely needed). You will be given your third CD to back-up and reinforce the work you have done so far.

The key to success is YOU!
No weight loss system will work unless you are committed to losing weight. You must be prepared to change your eating habits and life-style. If you are totally serious about losing weight then it will certainly work for you. The HYPNO-BAND weight loss system provides you with the tools and ability to lose weight and maintain a healthier body.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Hypno-band involve surgery?
No! the HYPNO-BAND system is a non-invasive behaviour changing method using the techniques of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. Then using the mind/body connection we fit a "virtual gastric band" to your stomach, helping you to eat smaller portions and less often.
DOES IT HURT?
On the contrary. The HYPNO-BAND procedure is extremely relaxing and pleasurable.

No, unlike gastric band surgery there are no known side effects associated with undergoing this procedure (apart from weight loss!)
Is it safe?
Yes! The HYPNO-BAND system is perfectly safe.
Am I suitable for the HYPNO-BAND weight loss system?
If you are fully committed to losing weight then the Hypno-Band will help you to achieve your goals.
Designed for those with a BMI over 25 the Hypno-Band is a safe, risk free and cheap alternative to Gastric Band Surgery. The only exception would be if there is a physiological reason for your weight problems or if you are taking certain medications. Your suitability will be assessed at the initial session.
What does BMI mean?
Your body mass index (BMI) gives and indication of your health risks. A BMI between 18 and 25 is regarded as "Normal", between 25 and 30 is classed as "Overweight" and a BMI between 30 and 40 is in the "Obese" range. If you have a BMI over 40 you are classed as "Morbidly Obese." Not only can obesity affect life expectancy it can be responsible for conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes Type II, stroke, cancer, joint problems such as osteoarthritis and high blood pressure.
How do I work out my BMI?
Use the NHS calculator below.
Is it guaranteed?
Like any medical or therapy procedure there can be no definite guarantees. Even a surgeon cannot guarantee that an actual gastric band will work. It should be noted that it is YOU that holds the key to losing weight. No system will work if you are not 100% committed. The mind is a very powerful instrument and by using the HYPNO-BAND system you will have the tools and power to change your eating habits. The only way to lose significant amounts of weight and KEEP IT OFF is to have a healthy diet and to eat less!
