Weight Loss Hypnosis in Lincoln
At Balance hypnosis, we run therapy programs to help our clients lose weight. Our Weight Loss Hypnotherapy in Lincoln is run by Martina McKeough a senior qualified clinical hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner with years of experience working with eating and food issues. Having run a highly successful weight management clinic in Harley Street London she has now relocated to the East Midlands and offers programs to help her clients lose weight and stop their battle with food.
Weight Management Therapy To Change Eating Habits
At our Lincoln hypnosis centre, we specialise in helping people who are struggling with food and eating issues. This could be because of general overeating but also due to binge eating, sugar addiction or even bulimia.
Every client who comes to see us is first given an extensive general assessment before any hypnosis takes place. A qualified hypnotherapist will ask detailed questions because this allows us to get a comprehensive picture of the problem before we begin our work. Our clinics take a holistic view on weight issues which means that we do not just treat the presenting problem but the issues which are underpinning it as well. When your overall well-being improved it can have a significant impact on your food choices.
Unlike Cognitive Behavioural Therapy a qualified hypnotherapist works with you to alter your subconscious thought patterns and not just your conscious ones. This is important as if both parts are not addressed eating problems are more likely to continue. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy can be a better solution for many people as it combines both approaches.
Can a Hypnotherapist Help You Lose Weight?
We like to bust the myths surrounding hypnosis to help our clients understand how a personalised program of weight management sessions can help them create positive changes and improve their well-being.
Clinical hypnotherapy is not magic or a miracle and anyone suggesting to you that they can put you in a trance and you will instantly lose weight is not telling you the truth. Therapy for weight problems is highly complex work and general suggestion hypnosis is never going to be enough to resolve a long term problem with food and eating.
In order to help our clients manage their weight, a clinical hypnotherapist will tackle the problem on a number of different levels. We help our clients with food planning and preparation, we help them recognise their eating triggers, their stress levels, their lifestyles, confidence, self-esteem, mental health as well as any emotions that could be creating a problem. Our work is designed to help improve your general well-being and not just the most obvious problem.
This is why we only run programs of sessions at our Lincoln hypnosis clinic because it takes time to make a difference. We have helped thousands of people lose weight and change their food habits over the years. Whilst hypnosis is still a relatively quick therapy tool it is not instant and requires you to participate and be heavily involved in making those changes.
Self-Hypnosis for Weight Loss
For clients who want to try self-hypnosis methods or who are unable to visit our Lincoln hypnosis clinic then you can use our weight loss self-hypnosis downloads. We have a number of guided meditations to help you lose weight that you can find in our online store as well as many other titles to help your well-being. Self-hypnosis involves suggestion hypnosis to help train your brain to think differently.
You can buy our ultimate weight loss hypnosis program audio or alternatively head over to our online shop to see the other audios we sell which can help you with creating positive mindset change.
Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Lincoln
In addition to our general weight loss hypnotherapy in Lincoln, we also offer Gastric Band Hypnosis. This is a form of hypnosis that not only questions the reasons for your problem with food but involves a virtual operation in the latter sessions. During these sessions, we use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, NLP and Hypnosis to help you make the necessary changes to your eating patterns.*
The Virtual Gastric Band works by helping to trick your subconscious into eating less because it believes that your stomach has reduced in size. This is an entirely natural treatment that involves no risky surgery. We have had incredible success with this form of hypnotherapy for weight which takes place over five sessions at our lincoln hypnosis clinics or online. One of our clients lost an incredible ten stone by using this form of hypnosis which significantly improved their physical health and well-being.*
Stop Binge Eating Hypnosis – Helping Eating Disorders
At our Lincoln Hypnosis Centre, we also see people for help with eating disorders. We know that many people initially call us for help with losing weight but when our clinical hypnotherapist conducts their initial assessment they find that they may be actually suffering from an eating disorder.
Binge eating hypnosis does not focus on slimming or diets but instead looks at negative habits and thoughts which can cause the problem. Dieting is one of the biggest reasons why people binge eat so it is incredibly important that someone highly skilled in clinical hypnotherapy helps you with the right treatment plan.
Dieting is never appropriate with this eating disorder and can actually make the problem worse. Our binge eating disorder program in Lincoln has been created to teach you intuitive and mindful eating, address lifestyle issues and help with emotional problems that may be impacting your mental health.
We know that in addition to dieting binge eating disorder is also caused by:
- Self-Esteem Issues
- Stress and Anxiety
- Perfectionist Tendencies
- Loneliness*
Quick Weight Loss Doesn’t Work
We know that many people who contact us are impatient to lose weight and are looking for quick fixes but the reality is that they don’t work. Almost all of our clients have lost weight in the short term but the vast majority of them pile on the weight again when everyday life gets in the way.
The only sustainable method of losing weight and keeping it off is by changing your lifestyle and addressing the emotional reasons for your problem. We use holistic methods to help our clients with weight management. We may use hypnotherapy to address anxiety, stress, food planning, motivation coaching, mindfulness and analysis when we create a custom-tailored program for you.
We never suggest restrictive dieting, cutting our food groups or faddy methods to cut back on calories as they only tend to work for a short period of time.
NHS Weight Loss Hypnotherapy
At the present time, the NHS doesn’t offer hypnotherapy for weight problems. Our Lincoln clinic is available for people who would like to arrange private programs to help their health and well-being.
Online Hypnosis for Weight Loss
The latest technology means that our online hypnosis for weight loss has been extremely popular. Working online makes no difference to the effectiveness of your sessions in fact for many people it works better because in order for hypnosis to work we need our clients to enter a really relaxed trance. When people are in their own home this is usually easier because you are more likely to feel comfortable in that safe environment.
In our online sessions we can still use hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming to full effect as unlike a doctor we do not need to touch or examine you. Instead, hypnosis helps by using the power of the hypnotherapist’s voice to get you into the zone you need for hypnotic work.
Helping people with online therapy is currently extremely popular because it involves not travel time and means that you aren’t dealing with your problems in an unfamiliar environment.
Our online sessions can be taken via Zoom, Skype, Facetime or Facebook video messenger. We usually ask our clients to use a laptop, computer or tablet for their sessions.
Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Lincoln Programs
When we book our clients for sessions relating to issues with food we book them in for a program of sessions. We never work with a client for just one session as it is impossible to make significant changes to a lifetime problem in just an hour. Generally, our clients will fit into these three categories:
3 Session Weight Program – Ideal for people who are less than two stone overweight and who have no significant emotional issues to work on during the session. This program is also suitable for people who crave sugar and chocolate.*
5 Session Weight Program – Designed for people over two stone overweight or those with emotional issues which need to be resolved. We also use five sessions for all clients who are suffering from binge eating or bulimia.*
8 Session Weight Program – If you are more than six stone overweight or would like longer term support with your weight loss goals then this is a program that is ideal for you.*
All our Lincoln Hypnosis programs involve hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and coaching as part of the therapy program. In your initial assessment session, a personalized program is created to help you tackle your particular issues.
Our holistic hypnosis helps by looking at the bigger picture. Weight and food issues exist because there are problems in your life that need to be addressed. Some of these are practical issues such as planning and prioritising whilst others are psychological. Our weight management programs help you to look at both to make a difference.*
