Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
If yo uwant to create a long-lasting impact on unwanted weight, then it's vital to step into the realm of psychology/counselling for weight loss. A key component to this is Stress. Stress has a direct influence on your ability to lose weight. Whether it’s the external stress of a busy life or the internal stress of unwanted weight or eating behaviours, your body is in a survival response. Our bodies will not release weight when in survival mode, it does the opposite. It slows down. If we are faced with stressful, anxiety-provoking lives, we need to learn how to stop reacting and change our responses into more mindful ones; breath, awareness, slowing down, small behaviour changes and mindfulness are all powerful tools when it comes to shifting from stress to relaxation. I can work with you psychotherapeutically to help you unpick what lies behind the energy of wanting to eat.

Emma Dean
Therapist, MA Hons, DipCaH, PNLP
I help people approach weight loss in a holistic, sustainable way — addressing not just habits, but the subconscious patterns and beliefs that often drive overeating, cravings, and self-sabotage. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, and mindful practices, we work together to reframe your relationship with food, body, and self. This approach helps you make lasting lifestyle changes, build self-trust, and create new habits from a place of awareness, not restriction. Weight loss becomes a natural byproduct of aligning your mind, body, and emotions.

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.
18 Years Experience
Online in Colchester, England
Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town, a historic garrison city in Essex with a significant military presence at Colchester Garrison and a large student population from the University of Essex, creating a mental health landscape shaped by both military service and academic life. The University of Essex, known for its social sciences and human rights research, brings a politically engaged student community, and the campus counselling service is an important resource for enrolled students. Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust provides mental health services to the area, and a private therapy sector serves both the university and garrison communities alongside permanent residents. Common therapy concerns include military and veteran mental health, student wellbeing and identity, anxiety, and the adjustment challenges of a town balancing its historic identity with rapid modern growth.
