The most common personal goal I have come across professionally and personally is weight loss.
Losing weight is cognitively very hard with powerful 'feel good' food memories residing in your hippocampus.
Does your weight yo-yo, do you have 'good' weeks and 'bad' weeks and find you are either treating yourself or on a strict regime?
I use hypnotherapy to help clients travel an easier and more balanced journey towards their weight goals.
Contrary to popular belief hypnosis (trance) is not a sleep state and hypnotherapy is used to help you to make changes at a sub-conscious level - including how you see food and what it means to you.
We go into trance many times a day. For example, when we are focusing on a task and whilst relaxing.
Trance is a state of focused attention and is actually very pleasant.
For weight loss hypnotherapy I retrain your mind to create permanent maintainable healthy eating patterns.
We help you put an end to your battling in the war zone between 'good' and 'bad' food and make new associations to emotional triggers.
For example, one client now 'rewards' herself with non-food related treats which she enjoys and gets a serotonin (happy, coping chemical) high from without weight issues.
Typically it takes just 3-4 sessions to reprogramme eating habits - although some people need more than this if there are deeper issues.
In trance I help you to visualise your success - a technique which works very well for goal achievement including weight loss.
On top of this, I provide healthy directives which your subconscious has somehow lost the will to act upon for some time.
Ultimately your success will depend on practising the techniques which I share with you.
Experience also shows that a well-kept food diary works well for most people as do daily meditations and focusing on what you do want - to be healthy and well.

I finally realized that I was into yo-yo dieting all of these years. I have an emotional eating problem I binge too much on foods that I like and suddenly loses my appetite thinking that my brain has automatically shut down my craving.
