The Secret to Take Control of Your Body is Through Your Mind

Struggling with weight management can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. You might find yourself stuck in a cycle of restrictive diets, temporary results, and eventual setbacks. This can lead to feelings of frustration, guilt, and self-doubt, eroding your confidence and sense of control. Weight challenges don't just affect your physical well-being—they can also impact your emotional and mental state, leading to a diminished quality of life

Over time, the strain can affect not just your body but your mental well-being, making it harder to stay motivated. Left unchecked, poor weight management can lead to long-term health risks, including stress, fatigue, and serious conditions like diabetes or heart disease. 

The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right support, you can break free from this cycle and regain control over your body, self-image and health.

How a Combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy Can Help Reshape Your Body

Clinical Hypnotherapy offers a proven way to address the subconscious patterns that drive poor weight management. It helps you tap into your mind’s deeper layers to identify and reframe limiting beliefs, emotional triggers, or unhelpful habits related to food and exercise. By promoting relaxation and focus, hypnotherapy reduces emotional eating, builds healthier habits, and empowers you to make lasting changes. You begin to rewire your thinking, allowing you to make mindful, confident choices about what you eat and how you care for your body.

Strategic Psychotherapy takes this a step further by combining these benefits with structured, solution-focused strategies. It provides practical tools to help you create clear goals, overcome emotional triggers, and build new behaviours. Strategic Hypnotherapy addresses not just what you eat, but how you think and feel about food, your body, and your ability to manage your weight. It’s designed to empower you with long-term solutions, focusing on sustainable weight management rather than short-term fixes.

Together, Clinical and Strategic Psychotherapy provide a comprehensive, personalised approach. This combination helps you break free from cycles of unhealthy eating, self-sabotage, and frustration. You’ll develop a healthier relationship with food, improve your self-esteem, and experience greater control over your weight and well-being. With this tailored approach, you can achieve lasting results, feeling more confident, energised, and in control of your body.

In the pursuit of immediate outcomes, you may face challenges with weight management and jeopardise your overall well-being in the long run. Instead of embracing traditional practices such as balanced nutrition and physical activity, you may resort to habits that ultimately harm their connection with food and their physical selves. Hypnotherapy presents a substitute approach that enables you to steer clear of the dangers associated with invasive procedures or the use of extra medications. I offer support throughout your weight loss process and aims to cultivate a motivation for adopting healthy behaviors that contribute to long-lasting and secure weight reduction. By utilizing hypnosis, I assist in identifying and resolving the root causes of any obstacles, negative behaviors, or thought patterns hindering your progress towards a healthier weight.

5What does a typical session look like ?
Sessions last for 60 minutes. This gives me time to treat both the mind and the body. The first session lasts for 90 minutes. All other sessions are 60 minutes each.) Beginning: Typically, each session begins with a discussion of what’s happened since your last session. This gives us a clear idea of the progress you feel you’ve made and what areas we need to focus on. Middle: You’ll sit back, relax, and listen as you receive hypnotherapy (most clients’ favourite part of the session!). End: Finally, we’ll discuss what actions need to take place between this session and your next to ensure your healing continues.
6How many sessions will I need ?
It’s important to understand everyone has a different set of circumstances. That’s why I tailor each treatment program according to your individual needs. As a general guide, most people develop the tools they need to achieve symptom decrease and gradually overcome anxiety after 3 - 6 sessions
7Can sessions be done online?
Hypnotherapy can be done either online or in person. Both forms are equally effective, so it’s really up to you. I’m located in Caulfield, Vic. Some people prefer online treatment because they don’t have to leave the comfort of their own homes. Others prefer to come in person because they’re more relaxed face-to-face and they don’t have to use video call technology.
