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.

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
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.

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.
