A calm, practical approach to reducing overeating and regaining control around food
If weight loss has started to feel like a constant battle with food, portions, cravings, or motivation — you’re not weak, broken, or lacking willpower.
For many people, weight struggles are driven by subconscious habits, emotional eating patterns, stress responses, and learned behaviours — not a lack of knowledge about food.
I help people lose weight using hypnotherapy, mindset work, and behavioural change techniques, including hypnotic gastric band imagery, to support portion control, reduce cravings, and change their relationship with food.
Many clients notice meaningful shifts in eating behaviour, control, and motivation within just a few sessions.

Why Weight Loss Is Rarely Just About Food
For many people, overeating is linked to:
- Emotional comfort or stress relief
- Habit loops and routines
- Boredom or fatigue
- Anxiety or low mood
- Reward-seeking and dopamine patterns
- Past dieting cycles and frustration
This is why willpower alone often fails.
Hypnotherapy works at the level where these patterns are formed — the subconscious mind — allowing eating behaviour to change more naturally and sustainably.
What Is Gastric Band Hypnotherapy?
Gastric band hypnotherapy is a psychological technique that uses guided hypnosis and imagery to help the mind respond as if portion sizes are smaller and fullness is reached sooner.
There is no surgery, no physical band, and no medical procedure.
Instead, the work focuses on:
- Reducing portion sizes naturally
- Feeling full sooner
- Slowing eating
- Breaking automatic overeating patterns
- Changing emotional responses to food
It is not a replacement for surgery, and it is not a medical treatment — it is a behavioural and subconscious approach to weight loss.
Many people search for hypnotherapy for gastric band weight loss as a non-surgical alternative — this approach focuses on behaviour, habits, and mindset rather than medical intervention.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help with Weight Loss
Using a calm, solution-focused approach, sessions may help you to:
- Eat smaller portions without feeling deprived
- Reduce cravings and impulsive eating
- Feel satisfied sooner
- Break emotional eating patterns
- Improve motivation and consistency
- Develop a healthier relationship with food
The aim is control and balance, not restriction or punishment.
Sarah M – Berkshire
The gastric band hypnotherapy work helped me change how I think and feel around food. I noticed I was eating smaller portions without trying, feeling more satisfied, and no longer driven by constant cravings. The sessions were supportive, practical, and surprisingly empowering. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
