HYPNOSIS FOR WEIGHT LOSS, EATING DISORDERS AND EMOTIONAL EATING

Over the years, I’ve worked with people who struggle with eating habits and managing their weight. As a personal trainer, I would often see gym members spending hours working out, eating very little, and still not achieving their weight goals.

Through my own experiences with friends, family, and clients, I’ve come to understand that there are deeper emotional and psychological barriers that can prevent weight loss and healthy eating—barriers that even the most rigorous gym routine or eating plan can’t always overcome.

Through hypnotherapy, I’ve developed a successful approach to help people break through these stubborn barriers and achieve the weight goals they’ve always dreamed of. I’ve found that hypnotherapy is a safe and natural way to access the subconscious mind, where many of our habits, behaviours, and self-beliefs are deeply rooted. By working with this part of the mind, we can make lasting, positive changes that will support your weight management journey—whether you’re aiming to lose weight, develop healthier eating habits, or overcome emotional eating.

I’m here to help you tap into the power of your subconscious and make the positive changes needed to reach your goals. Together, we can work toward your best self and achieve lasting success on your weight management journey.

Who Can Benefit from Hypnotherapy for Weight Management?

Hypnotherapy for weight management can be incredibly effective for people who face various challenges, including:

• Those seeking support with their weight loss journey

• Individuals who struggle with unhealthy eating habits, such as binge eating, guilt around food, or restrictive eating

• People who need help with portion control or making healthier food choices

• Those who want to adopt a lifestyle change rather than follow a restrictive diet, including learning acceptance and forgiveness around food

• Individuals interested in developing intuitive and mindful eating habits

• Those who feel influenced by negative eating patterns from family or others

How Hypnosis Helps with Weight Management and Emotional Eating

Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for both weight loss and emotional eating because it targets the psychological and behavioural factors that contribute to overeating and unhealthy eating habits. When working with my clients, I focus on addressing the underlying emotional and mental blocks that might be causing them to struggle with food.

Some areas where hypnotherapy can help include:

• Portion control and healthier eating habits: Hypnotherapy can help you make better food choices and feel satisfied with smaller portions.

• Reducing emotional eating: Together, we’ll work on identifying emotional triggers and releasing the underlying emotions that lead to overeating.

• Body image and self-esteem: Hypnotherapy can help shift negative self-beliefs and create a more positive and accepting attitude toward your body.

• Overcoming guilt and restrictive thinking: The goal is to eliminate guilt around food, allowing you to enjoy all types of food in moderation without fear or shame.

This process isn’t about going on a “diet.” It’s about making sustainable, long-term changes that support both physical and emotional well-being.

As part of my weight management services, I offer the option of the Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy program. The virtual gastric band is a non-invasive alternative to traditional gastric band surgery. During the session, I guide you into a relaxed state and suggest that your subconscious mind believes you’ve had a gastric band fitted. This creates a feeling of fullness after eating smaller portions and helps you eat more mindfully.

The virtual gastric band is an effective option because:

• It promotes a change in mindset around food, encouraging portion control and mindful eating.

• It’s non-invasive with no physical side effects, unlike traditional surgery.

• It’s a cost-effective option compared to bariatric surgery.

• It addresses underlying emotional issues that may contribute to overeating or unhealthy eating patterns.

In a hypnotherapy session for weight management, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state and suggest positive changes related to your eating habits, lifestyle, and relationship with food. Each session is tailored to your specific needs and goals, but typical suggestions might include:

• Eating smaller portions: Encouraging feelings of fullness after eating less food.

• Healthier food choices: Helping you crave healthier foods and feel less attracted to unhealthy options.

• Increasing physical activity: Inspiring you to feel more motivated to exercise and enjoy being active.

• Stress management: Teaching healthier ways to manage stress without turning to food for comfort.

• Mindful eating: Helping you develop habits like eating slowly, appreciating the flavours, and being more aware of hunger and fullness cues.

I also use visualisation techniques to help you see yourself at your desired weight, feeling confident and healthy, and recommend positive affirmations or self-hypnosis to reinforce these changes between sessions.

Hypnotherapy for weight management and eating disorders requires commitment and dedication. It’s a collaborative process where I provide the optimal conditions for change, and you actively participate in making lifestyle shifts that are safe, evidence-based, and effective.

I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before starting any weight loss or lifestyle change program, including hypnotherapy. You can start by booking a free 15-minute consultation, where we can discuss your goals and ensure hypnotherapy is the right fit for you.

I hope this gives you a comprehensive view of how hypnotherapy can support you in managing your weight and addressing emotional eating or eating disorders. Together, we’ll work to break through those barriers and create lasting change that will help you feel your best, both physically and emotionally.
