The Psychology of Weight Loss

Have you been trying to lose weight unsuccessfully? Perhaps you’ve tried lots of different diets and exercise regimes before, maybe you’ve even lost some weight only to put it back on again – you know…the typical yo-yo dieting, and you still find yourself struggling with weight?

I do understand this continuous struggle….for years I just couldn’t control my weight nor maintain a reasonable level of fitness, until I realised the real issue! Once I realised that my weight directly related to my emotional state, a light bulb really turned on! It was then that things really started to change for me. This inspired me to learn more and then I really wanted to help others who faced similar challenges.

And now through my own experience, broad studies, and 30 years working with human behaviour I have the understanding, the tools and the passion to help you!

The key to successful permanent weight loss starts with how you view yourself, your lifestyle habits, and most importantly how you feel …

Sure health, fitness and your weight is definitely a result of your eating and exercising habits, but there is so much more to it! Your weight is also a direct result of your underlying psychological and emotional patterns. Holding onto emotional baggage leads to holding onto weight on the body, ie. excess emotional baggage = excess weight!

The typical approach of the diet and fitness industry solely focuses on your eating and exercise habits, but not the causes behind these habits; your underlying traumas, emotional patterns, and your current mindset. They attempt to help you change your habits without addressing the underlying issues…it’s like putting a band aid on an open wound that needs stitches! And that’s why they don’t work, especially long term, and you’ll go back to your old habits.

So the key is to address the causes; identify your underlying psychological patterns, whilst empowering you with cutting-edge tools to improve your lifestyle habits. Nutritional Psychology (NP) is the field of how cognitive choices influence nutrition, psychological health, and overall health. Nutritional psychology seeks to understand the relationship between nutritional behaviour, eating, weight management and mental health. Our counselling program is tailored to suit your needs, by understanding the psychological and emotional obstacles behind your personal weight struggles!

Weight Loss Breakthrough Program

As a professionally qualified and experienced Psychologist, I have developed a comprehensive 14 week Weight Loss Breakthrough Program. Together we will explore the various factors contributing to your challenges regarding your weight.

Together, we will work to overcome your negative mindset or beliefs that hold you back from achieving your goals, and explore how these beliefs directly link to your self-worth. You’ll learn cutting-edge psychological techniques for changing your thoughts and beliefs that have prevented you from successfully losing weight and keeping it off. 

We will initially work with your conscious mind to improve your awareness of your emotions, thoughts, and conditioned behavioural responses. Then we will start working directly with your subconscious mind; here we use transformational mind techniques like Hypnotherapy, PSYCH-K™, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). What goes on in the unconscious mind governs how you eat, how you exercise, your levels of motivation and your energy!  Inner conflict occurs when your conscious mind and your unconscious are not working together.

Our WEIGHT LOSS BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and we understand that everyone struggles with weight for different reasons, and we empower you with the tools to manage your mindset and most importantly to improve your self-worth.  GET IN TOUCH with us today to book an initial consultation to see if this program is suitable for you!
