Use hypnosis and hypnotherapy to lose weight at the Cheltenham Hypnotherapy Clinic

Hypnotherapy is well known to be a tremendous help for people looking to lose weight and become slimmer and healthier because how and what you think affects how you feel and behave.

By combining relaxation with visualisation and hypnotic suggestions we can replace and 're-programme' your poor eating or drinking habits with new focused feelings of pride and confidence in yourself and your food choices and the way you look - so that you start to win the mental battle of weight loss.

Changes in attitude, willpower and wellbeing can happen after ONE session and many people only need a couple of sessions to really help them, depending on each case.

Positive suggestions during the relaxing state of hypnosis can be used to increase your WILLPOWER and MOTIVATION. As a result of the positive images and suggestions used in the session you will naturally feel far more in control of what you eat, how much and when you eat - putting you back IN CONTROL.

Hypnotherapy for help with losing weight "Hello Richard Firstly thank you for last Friday. I am still smiling !! I'm starting to see the benefits having lost 4lbs already....yet most importantly I feel positive, in control and very excited about how I may look and feel when the Summer months arrive. In fact I can't believe the difference you have made. I am making healthy choices all of the time and have been so much more focussed on other things rather then my next meal. It's unbelievable. I'm even looking forward to staying in that hotel chain next week where the menu is so familiar to me. I think that will be the true test of my ability to stay in control. Thank you."

'..the results speak for themselves...' - hypnosis aids dieting "Hi Richard Just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks and to let you know that the weightloss has continued to go well since our session. I have now lost almost 2 stone. I wasn't sure at first if the session had worked or not. Probably because it didn't hurt or I didn't 'feel' different, but the results speak for themselves. I'm so pleased I plucked up the courage to contact you in the first place. I have tried to diet since giving up smoking and having a child (9 years) and have got so far and then given up - I'm sure our meeting has helped me stay on track. I have just 6lb to go before I hit the target which I set for myself and feel positive and confident about achieving this. It is so great to see people I haven't seen for a while who immediately notice the difference. Best regards Richard and thanks again" Nicky, May 2009

How it works
In a typical suggestion therapy session for help with losing weight using hypnosis it is split into two parts - a 'talky' bit at the beginning of the session, followed by a relaxing hypnosis session at the end in which positive hypnotic suggestions are used.

At the beginning of the session several psychological techniques are discussed (in plain english) that will really help you to be more positive and achieve your weight loss goals. Most helpful of all, you will learn simple but powerful techniques to get results fast by thinking and feeling more positive...

The session normally lasts approx 60-90 minutes.

The session can be repeated at a later date to continue to keep the person 'on track'.

Topics discussed in a hypnotherapy weight loss session include:

• Coue's Law
• Bernheim's rules of suggestion
• Conscious and unconscious mind - what's the difference?
• How our self esteem is related to our weight
• How we often give ourselves negative suggestions (without realising it)
• How to stop negative thinking about food FAST
• How to become more positive and more in control using simple but powerful techniques
• How to create MORE SELF ESTEEM, more self belief and feel fantastic about yourself

Ella's weight loss story "Hi Richard,I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your help. I really can’t believe the difference just one session has made to my weight loss. Before I came to see you my biggest problem was definitely comfort-eating in the evening, but since my therapy session I have felt completely in control and have not wanted to pick at all. When I came to see you I was hoping to leave feeling motivated to diet, but the reality has by far exceeded that. I’ve gained complete control with food and actually have a new-found sense of calm in other areas of my life too. You have such a lovely manner and I didn’t feel at all embarrassed about talking through personal issues with you – even the free consultation left me feeling motivated and I couldn’t wait for the actual hypnotherapy to take place. Absolutely everything about the experience was really positive, even down to the beautiful and professional health centre you work from. I just wish I’d picked up the phone to you years ago! Many thanks..." Ella, Cheltenham, March 2008 Update, May 2008 "Just wanted to update you on my progress as promised. Since I came to see you 9/10 weeks ago I've lost a stone...I have to say that it has been pretty easy too and I definitely feel that I have control over food now and not the other way round. (I even won 'Slimmer of the Week' at Slimming World for the first time in a year and a half the other day.) So, once again, a massive thank you for your help. " Ella

Eating Disorders and serious drinking problems
If the weight issues are serious and ongoing, or where there are a combination of other body-image problems such as anorexia or bulimia or binging, then a course of analytical hypnotherapy would almost certainly be more suitable to deal with some of the root causes of these major issues.
