Weight Loss
Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
The secret of getting and remaining slim is a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating. If you know what you need to do, but you're unable to do it, this is because you are using food to prevent yourself from feeling bad. I will help you to identify the feelings that cause you to eat more than you want and find out where they come from in your biography. We will heal the experiences that gave rise to these feelings, giving you the freedom again to behave in the way that you choose, including eating healthily and moderately.

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.

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.

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.
