Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
Controlling weight is a similar issue as body dysmorphia and once again may be very deep in the resistance to take care of oneself and may even be associated with psychosomatic problems or purely physical such as thyroid, etc.

Weight Loss
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
Weight loss can range from the straightforward e.g. 'I put on a few pounds after I had a baby and would like to lose it' to the complex e.g. 'I've been overweight my whole life because I was sexually abused as a child and it helps me to deflect unwanted attention from men.' Whatever your story I will address the whole person and not just the excess weight. If you are on GLP-1 meds, I can support you in developing the habits that make it easier to sustain long-term weight loss.

Weight Loss
Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
CBT is an excellent way to ensure lasting weight loss through sustainable changes rather than the typical quick fix diet. I have used CBT to lose weight myself and have maintained this weight loss 10 years later so I know exactly how effective it can be.

Weight Loss
Rachel Bates
Registered Psychotherapist, M Phil - Counselling & Psychotherapy; M A Psychology
Weight gain through unhealthy eating habits is sometimes caused by depression. A person's mental well being can have a direct impact on their body weight. A person's perceived body image can also affect their mental health. Evidence from research shows that depression is between three and four times more likely to occur in severely obese people. A low level of self worth caused by childhood abuse, for example, could lead to food being used to create a physical barrier. Weight stigma experienced during childhood can increase vulnerability to depression, low self-esteem, poor body image, bad eating habits and decreased physical activity in adulthood. Research studies now demonstrate that weight-loss intervention can help overweight and obese people with serious mental illness.

Hypnotherapist, CHt
Weight loss can be a challenging journey, often requiring more than just diet and exercise. Many individuals struggle with deeply ingrained habits, emotional eating, and a lack of motivation, which can impede their progress. Hypnotherapy offers a unique and effective approach to weight loss by addressing the subconscious mind and helping individuals develop healthier habits and attitudes towards food and exercise.

Bedford is a Bedfordshire town on the River Great Ouse with one of the most distinctive demographic profiles of any English town of its size—it has one of the largest Italian-heritage communities in the UK outside London, descended from workers recruited for the brickmaking and other industries in the post-war period, alongside significant South Asian, Caribbean, and more recently Eastern European communities, creating an unusually layered cultural mix with specific dimensions for mental health practice. East London NHS Foundation Trust provides NHS mental health services across Bedfordshire, and the University of Bedfordshire has a campus in the town. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational and intercultural family dynamics across very different communities, immigration and diaspora identity, acculturation stress, anxiety, depression, and the particular mental health dimensions of a town with unusually complex community demographics that are rarely reflected in national narratives about English provincial life.
