“If you are currently trying to lose weight, then do your mind and body a favour and throw away the weighing scales. It’s not empowering and it does not create motivation and it does not keep you on track. In fact it makes you a prisoner in your own body. Instead lets Reshape your mind and you will naturally reshape your body. Hypnosis is the ideal tool with which to change the shape of your mind and body. Hypnosis Uses your emotional intelligence. It enables you to derive pleasure from eating less. With the help of your hypnotherapy programme you will be amazed at the ease with which you lose weight. My hypnotic suggestions will help you to derive pleasure from eating less food. With this programme you are encouraged to reduce the quantity of everything, but to cut out nothing. In other word you can still have your treats, just not as often. During your 12 week programme you will learn how to respond to hunger signals and begin to understand the difference between ‘needing food’ and ‘wanting to Eat’. There is no avoiding the fact that exercise is a vital part of losing weight. I will teach you how to have a naturally motivated ability to perform regular gentle fitness which will fit into your busy life. Remember YOU DO NOT NEED STRONG WILLPOWER Willpower (or conscious determination) is one thing, but because it only uses one part of the mind, its effects are all temporary. Hypnosis operates at the sub-conscious level and uses all of your senses, which is the very foundation of emotional intelligence. This allows you to lose your unwanted weight without dieting and stop obsessing about food.

Stress can become a vicious cycle without the stress management techniques needed to manage it. The words “…But I can’t relax……”can become commonplace in a person’s life. In small amounts, stress can be tolerated. However, prolonged or intense stress levels can impact on our relationships, work performance, and lead to panic attacks and/or depression. Common symptoms can include irritability, lack of concentration, sleeping problems, negative thinking, changes in appetite, lack of motivation, loss of libido, social withdrawal and mood swings. Stress can also contribute to physical symptoms such as skin disorders, headaches, muscular tension, high blood pressure and other bodily aches and pains.

Addiction Counselling & Psychotherapy Addictions come in number of guises, but can take a serious toll on physical and psychological health. Symptoms of addictions may include depression, panic attacks, sleep disturbance, obsessive-compulsive traits, deteriorating relationships and poor work performance. Many people with addictions consider their behaviour to be a craving, dependence or bad habit. If your day to day functioning or health is affected, or if the behaviour takes up a large amount of time or money, then you may benefit from addiction counselling and psychotherapy. What is Addiction Counselling, Psychotherapy & Psychiatry?
