Gastric band hypnosis is a relatively new concept within the field of hypnotherapy that is fast gaining popularity. The idea behind it is that through hypnotherapy the body reacts as though it has had a gastric band fitted resulting in a reduced appetite and interest in food. This allows the individual to feel more in control of their food intake and therefore lose weight more easily.

Although very effective, this type of hypnotherapy isn't suitable for everyone and each client is assessed before undergoing the procedure. Neither is it a magic wand solution that allows a person to continue with the old unhealthy eating patterns. In fact once the procedure is carried out it is imperative that a healthy balance diet is consumed and unhealthy foods avoided because of ensuring the body's nutritional needs are met within the limited capacity it then has to take on board food.

Gastric band hypnotherapy will only be used in conjunction with looking at the emotional and/or underlying reasons for being overweight. In my opinion this is necessary in order to achieve and maintain long term weight loss.

My overall aim for working with weight loss is to enable the individual to free themselves from the old negative cycle of dieting with all it's labels such as "good", "bad", "should", "shouldn't", "on-a-diet-off-a-diet", and to help them to change the way that they think about food so that develop a healthy relationship with food.

Fees for the minimum of 5 sessions which include gastric band hypnosis cost no more than usual session rates (£50 daytime, £60 evenings) but are payable in advance.
