If you've spent years dieting, counting calories, restricting what you eat and repeatedly losing and regaining weight, you may be ready for a different approach.
Weight management hypnotherapy can help you change the way you think about food, eating and your lifestyle, making it easier to develop healthier habits and feel more confident about the choices you make.
I offer personalised hypnotherapy for weight management, helping you move away from the cycle of short-term dieting and towards a healthy, more sustainable relationship with food.
Sessions are available in person in Torquay, Devon, or online via Zoom.
If you've tried diet after diet, you may already know that losing weight isn't necessarily the hardest part. The real challenge can be maintaining those changes once the diet ends. Diets can work for a while, but they also leave you feeling restricted, frustrated or constantly thinking about what you can and can't eat. My approach is different.
Rather than giving you another diet plan to follow, hypnotherapy focuses on the thoughts, habits and behaviours that influence the way you eat.
Together, we can work towards helping you:
Weight-loss medications have become an important part of many people's weight-loss journey. For some people, however, coming off weight-loss medication can bring a new set of challenges as they adjust to managing their weight and eating habits without the medication.
If you're preparing to come off weight-loss medication, or you've already stopped taking it and want additional support with your mindset and habits, hypnotherapy can help eliminate food noise and help you naturally create healthier choices without the struggle.
We can work on areas such as:
My role is to support the mindset, habits and behavioural changes that can form part of your long-term weight-management journey.
One of the most common things I hear from people who have struggled with their weight is: "I know what I should be doing. I just can't seem to stick to it."
You may have plenty of knowledge about healthy eating. You may have followed meal plans, joined slimming clubs, counted calories or tried different diets. But knowing what to do and consistently doing it are two different things.
Your thoughts, habits, routines and automatic behaviours all influence your choices.
Hypnotherapy can help you work with these patterns rather than simply trying to force yourself to change through willpower. Maintaining the healthy changes you've already made.
For lasting change and ongoing support, I offer a 4-week 1-to-1 weight management hypnotherapy programme.
Four sessions give us time to work on different aspects of your relationship with food and lifestyle while allowing you to build on your progress from week to week.

If you'd prefer to start with one session, single hypnotherapy sessions are also available for £75.
A single session can be a good starting point if you'd like to focus on a particular aspect of your weight-management journey or simply want to experience hypnotherapy before deciding whether you'd like further support.

Yes. The focus is on changing your relationship with food. Whilst the changes to your habits and thought patterns can happen almost instantly, weight loss as a result of those changes can of course take longer to see. Everyone loses weight at a different rate based on the amount of weight they have to lose, health/medications, age, metabolism, hormone levels and daily activity levels.
Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious patterns and responses, helping you change the habits and beliefs that influence your choices around food. Sessions are tailored to your individual needs and goals. You may find you respond differently to cravings, manage emotional eating and naturally make healthy choices. The goal is to help you develop a healthier relationship with food, rather than relying on willpower.
Everyone's needs are different, but I recommend the four-week hypnotherapy programme to give us time to work on your goals and build on your progress from week to week. 4 weeks is particularly useful if you'd like support with several areas, such as emotional eating, food cravings, confidence and developing healthier habits. Single sessions are also available if you'd prefer to focus on one specific issue.
Yes. Many people prefer online sessions because travelling is a hassle and they feel more relaxed in the comfort of their own home. Hypnosis is most effective when a person can relax. Hypnosis works with the mind, not the physical body, so it's not necessary to be sitting in front of a hypnotherapist for it to work.
Dieting requires willpower and many peoples habits have been ingrained for many years, making it almost impossible to maintain a diet long term. Hypnotherapy works with subconscious behaviours and thoughts, requiring no 'effort' from you. If you have spent years on diets you haven't failed, the problem isn't you, diets just don't work long term.
Yes. it helps if you often eat out of habit, boredom, stress or emotion rather than physical hunger. Together, we can explore what tends to trigger these patterns and work towards helping you respond differently. The aim is to develop greater awareness of your needs and feel more comfortable making choices around food without guilt or constant internal battles.
