Weight Loss
Jayne LESLEY Allen
Therapist, MIBWRT(AC and Coach, TFT DX, NLP Practioner and Coach, Hypnotherapist
Lasting weight loss is about more than diet and willpower—it’s about understanding the patterns in the brain and body that keep you stuck. Together, we’ll uncover the emotional triggers, stress responses, and habits that drive your relationship with food, eating, and self-image. Using neuroscience-based coaching, BWRT®, and therapeutic strategies, I help you rewire unhelpful patterns and build healthier, more sustainable habits. We can also explore tools like mindfulness and HeartMath® to reduce stress and balance the nervous system, which play a vital role in appetite, cravings, and metabolism. The aim is not just short-term change, but creating a healthier, more confident version of yourself that lasts.

Break free from old patterns. Rewire your brain. Restore balance in your body.

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.

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.
