Whether overweight, underweight or maybe struggling to deal with an eating pattern that's causing distress, many people's lives are dominated by their relationship with food and some may recognise they use food to help change the way they feel about themselves or their circumstances.

Becoming aware of this relationship, why it first formed and what it means for you now, are the first important steps to tackling this problem in a way that gives the best chance of producing permanent change.

We'll work together to change this relationship and, as well as identifying any underlying cause, we'll establish and use your own strengths and resources along with hypnotic suggestion to develop your ability to bring your eating under control. And you'll be able to measure the results in more than just inches and pounds. Being in control of your eating will boost your confidence tremendously and only you know just what benefits that could bring you.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy has been successful in helping people with eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. Obviously these are very serious conditions but the process of their treatment is broadly the same as that outlined above. The emphasis is still very much on understanding, at a personal level, exactly which aspect of the way you think, feel or behave needs to change so that we can start to make a difference to your own eating pattern.

Note

Please be aware that if a doctor or other medical or caring professional is already involved in your care then I would only proceed with their knowledge and consent. If they are not already involved but I feel they should be then I may not be able to work with you unless that situation changes.

I'm happy to help you come to terms with this before we address the main problem.
