Weight Loss

Overview:

Weight Loss is a highly complex and deeply personal subject and should be treated with sensitivity.

Obesity is an increasingly common problem that is affecting more and more people because of our increasing desk-based culture, emphasis on long working hours, and the cost-of-living crisis. All of this combined makes it difficult to eat healthily and do enough physical activity.

Becoming over weight or obese can significantly, negatively impact your health and wellbeing. Daily challenges can include experiencing breathlessness, increased sweating, snoring, tiredness, joint and back pain and feeling socially isolated.

Short-term, benefits include increased energy levels, better sleep, improved mobility, enhanced mood and increased confidence and self-esteem.

Long-term benefits of losing weight include reduced risk of developing serious conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes, and certain cancers including breast, womb and bowel.

Facts:

According to the latest research on UK adults:

  • 64% of adults in England were estimated to be overweight or living with obesity.

  • It's estimated that around 1 in every 4 adults in the UK are living with obesity.

  • Men are more likely to be over weight or obese compared to women, however, women are more likely then men to be morbidly obese.

Science:

Obesity is a complex issue with many factors to consider.

We can become overweight or obese if we eat too many calories, particularly those from foods that are high in sugar which are then stored in the body as fat if we don’t burn the calories.

As a child, our learned relationship with physical activity, exercise, food and eating plays a key role in wether or not we become overweight or obese as an adult.

Genetics can also be a cause of obesity for some people as your genes can affect how your body uses food and stores fat.

There are also some underlying health conditions that can occasionally contribute to weight gain, such as an under active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).

Some medicines can also make people more likely to put on weight, including steroids and some medicines for high blood pressure, diabetes or mental health conditions.

How hypnotherapy can help:

As your hypnotherapist, I would describe my approach to weight loss as a holistic focus on health and happiness.

Through engaging with your powerful subconscious mind, we will reshape your thought patterns, breaking down any negative associations that are stopping you living the life you want to lead, promoting healthier choices and encouraging new neural pathways to form.

We will modify your relationship with physical activity, exercise, food and eating.

We will address the root cause, revisiting the past and exploring how it has impacted your current relationship with weight.

If there are certain food cravings you’re struggling to kick we can work with aversion techniques to help you rid yourself of the specific craving once and for all.

We will build your self-esteem and confidence working with a range of techniques including Ego-Strengthening and Future Mapping.

We will untangle and rewire any behavioural, psychological and emotional factors that are impeding your weight loss. Depending on your preference we might work with Direct Suggestions, Metaphors or Anchoring.

I will support you, every step of the way, on your journey towards achieving the long-lasting results that you deserve.

Testimonials

Amanda

“Working with Gemma has been a truly transformative experience. When I first started therapy, I was overwhelmed by stress and struggling to cope. Through your compassionate and insightful approach, you helped me understand the roots of my stress and gave me practical tools to manage it effectively. What stood out most was the safe, nonjudgmental space that you created—one where I felt heard, supported, and empowered to make real changes. Thank you for helping me to regain a sense of clarity, calm, and confidence in facing daily challenges. I’m incredibly grateful for your support and would highly recommend Gemma to anyone navigating stress or seeking mental wellness.”

Genevieve

“Managing and running my own business results in me having a lot of stress and coping with a huge amount of other people’s stresses too. I contacted Gemma about hypnotherapy and whether she thought that may help. I was really impressed with her personal and professional manner throughout our first meeting, instantly grasping what industry I worked in and showing empathy for the areas of life that I found most stressful. Gemma’s thorough initial information gathering was evident throughout our four sessions, demonstrating her attentive listening and accurate understanding of my situation, thoughts, and feelings. Even now in times of stress I still mentally use the green shiny pebble in my pocket creating space and allowing me to breath and realign my thoughts. I would highly recommend Gemma for any hypnotherapy sessions that you may be thinking about.”

Simran

“I had the privilege of participating in hypnotherapy sessions with Gemma to help me manage stress and the experience truly exceeded my expectations. From the first session, she created a warm, professional, and safe environment that immediately put me at ease. Gemma listened with empathy and tailored each session to address the root causes of my stress. She exhibited outstanding expertise, perceptiveness, and attentiveness throughout the process. Through gentle and effective techniques, she helped me access a deeper sense of calm and control that I hadn’t experienced in a long time. I noticed a significant change in my emotional state and my ability to handle daily pressures more easily and resiliently. What impressed me most was her genuine care and commitment. She clearly wanted the best for me and took the time to ensure each session was meaningful and impactful. I wholeheartedly recommend Gemma to anyone struggling with stress or looking for a more balanced, peaceful approach to life. This experience has been a turning point, and I’m genuinely grateful. Thank you, Gemma!!”

“I had a Hypnotherapy session with Gemma to quit smoking. Gemma was professional throughout, discussing her ethical boundaries with me and quickly established a good rapport. She explained how the session would work creating a comfortable environment. I was unsure what to expect, as I haven't done anything like this before, but I have been smoke and vape free since the session and haven't felt the need to do so. Gemma did a great job and I'd highly recommend her.”

Holly

“Gemma was brilliant, from the moment I stepped into the room she made me feel calm and at ease. Any questions I had were answered clearly and she listened carefully and compassionately to me throughout our work together. I can safely say that if you put your all into therapy, you get a whole lot more out of it than you will ever have expected. Thank you Gemma.”
