Dear hypnotherapist/psychotherapist

My name is Margaret. I have been working really hard to try to take off weight. I have a comprehensive understanding of the principles of taking off weight. I understand that you have to eat small meals and that you should not snack in between eating sessions. I also understand that sugar is not helpful and that we should reduce a fat intake. I know of of this. I have taken off a stone so far. But I have these sessions that take place where I don’t care. I binge eat and the more I eat the more I don’t care. I say to myself, ‘Well, I have eaten this so I might as well eat this cake as well, or this pizza, or this pint of beer’. And then in the morning, I feel really guilty and it puts me back three days worth of dieting. Or more…….

Can you help me stop having this attacks? I have many friends that have tried hypnotherapy and they have been helped for all sorts of problems. I have looked on your website and I have been really impressed. I look at the section entitled, ‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’. What is ‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’. Can it help me with my binge eating and will it help me to take off weight in the future? I am in it for the long term and really want to get to my ideal weight. Hypnotherapy must be the right thing for me. I want it to empower me to have more control. At the moment I am 11 stone, but I am not tall and my ideal weight is 9 stone. I am also doing exercise at the gym and this has helped me to take off weight in the past. I am also looking trimmer and fitter. I reallly hope hypnotherapy will work. The cardiovascular work that I have been doing has given me more energy too, but some weeks I put on muscle and weigh more. I only weigh myself at the end of each week, and I don’t do this every day. I am looking for a top hypnotherapist. Someone who really knows what he is doing. A hypnotherapist based in somewhere like Harley Street like yourself.

Can you get me an appointment and how do I do it.

Margaret

Dear Margaret

Yes certainly I can help. One used to have to go to one’s GP to get a referral letter, but now, all one has to do is to go to London Hypnotherapy UK or London Psychotherapy directly, and then book an appointment. The links are below:

‘Weight Loss Hypnotherapy’ is the general name given to treatment programmes which use hypnotherapy to help people to take off weight. Some hypnotherapist use a strict regimented approach which last s for a certain number of weeks; I, however, tend to build a treatment programme around the needs of the individual client, and this strategy is tailor made to suit your needs. I have had a great deal of success working with a number of people who have had eating disorders. However, binge eating, in any any of its forms is not classed as an eating disorder. Certainly, the aim of the hypnotherapy is to help you to take off weight and to keep it off in the future.

If you would like to book a session, please feel free to ring me at 10 Harley Street, London, W1G 9PF. I look forward to speaking to you. The number is as follows: 0207 467 8564.

IN ALL CASES, THIS THERAPY IS COMBINED WITH PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC SUPPORT

How does weight loss hypnotherapy work and how on earth will it help me to take off weight?

During the hypnotherapy, individuals are highly susceptible to suggestion. Weight loss hypnotherapy is used in order to facilitate an environment in which you are able access a healthy eating regime in your own mind’s eye. Once this is achieved, weight loss is possible. In Weight loss hypnotherapy, the procedure is as follows:

1) You will be asked whether you want to take off weight.

2) You will asked to imagine living your life at a certain weight–your ‘ideal weight’

3) You will be asked to imagine eating three healthy meals each day and to enjoy eating each meal.

4) You will be asked whether you can imagine eating the meals slowly

5) You will be given direct suggestions not to snack and indirect suggestion to eat healthily and in sufficient quantities

6) You will be asked again, using future orientation, to imagine enjoying your life at your ‘ideal weight’

7) You will be given ego strengthening and boosting so that you will have the confidence to fulfil this task

You will be given direct suggestions that you should reward yourself appropriately during the course of the treatment

9) Anchoring techniques, like rubbing your stomach, will be used to harness your control over your eating.

10) You will be given a number of suggestion to make sure that you maintain your weight–from week to week, month to month and year to year

Are there any other techniques used in order to help people take off weight?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is the treatment of choice at London Hypnotherapy UK; however, aversion therapy (covert sensitization) is another technique that can be used. Covert sensitization is used to help people stop eating a certain food type–i.e. chocolate, crisps or chips etc, or, indeed, any other food stuff to which the individual is addicted. This is also a very powerful technique, but it is a different form of therapy.   

Is weight loss hypnotherapy effective?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is an extremely powerful tool and is also used in order to treat individuals with more serious weight problems (i.e. obesity).    

How expensive is weight loss hypnotherapy at London Hypnotherapy UK?

Weight loss hypnotherapy is the same price as psychotherapy. The first session is an hour’s duration, and subsequent sessions are 50 minutes. Sessions run at £160.

If I have weight loss hypnotherapy, are there any side effects?

No. None.
