Weight loss counselling
Weight Management & Emotional Eating Counselling
Compassionate support for a healthier relationship with food and your body
Specialist Insight, Personal Experience
As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of long-term weight issues, I understand the exhaustion of trying everything and still feeling stuck. My approach to counselling for weight loss blends clinical knowledge with personal insight into what actually supports meaningful, sustainable change. As a weight loss therapist, I help you navigate your journey with understanding, patience, and a focus on what truly works for you.
Struggles with eating and body image can feel deeply personal — and often misunderstood. You may find yourself stuck in a cycle of dieting, emotional eating, or feeling out of control around food. Maybe you've tried every approach out there, yet still feel frustrated, ashamed, or disconnected from your body.
As someone who has personally navigated weight struggles for over 40 years, I offer counselling for weight loss that goes beyond diets and willpower. I bring not only therapeutic expertise but also lived experience, helping you address the emotional patterns that shape your relationship with food. As a weight loss therapist, I support clients in building a more peaceful and sustainable approach to health and self-care — one rooted in compassion and long-term change.
“How we eat is how we live. The way we relate to food is a reflection of how we relate to ourselves — with judgement or with kindness.”
How Food and Feelings Intertwine
You might be experiencing:
Emotional eating triggered by stress, loneliness, or overwhelm
Repeated cycles of restriction and bingeing
Constant body dissatisfaction or shame
Confusion about hunger, fullness, and what your body needs
Frustration with habits you can't seem to change
Guilt or secrecy around food
These patterns are rarely just about food — they often reflect unmet emotional needs, protective strategies, or early life experiences. That’s where counselling for weight loss can provide insight and support.
What to Expect in Therapy
In our work together, we create a space that is safe, non-judgemental, and compassionate. We’ll explore the emotional and psychological drivers behind your relationship with food — including how eating may have become a way to soothe, avoid, or feel in control. You might find that food has served important roles in your life, from comfort to safety, and that it often ties into deeper themes like self-worth, identity, or early family dynamics. As we uncover these patterns together, we’ll begin gently reconnecting with your body’s cues and exploring ways to meet your needs with more clarity, compassion, and choice.
This therapeutic approach to counselling for weight loss is not about diets or restriction — it's about understanding, acceptance, and sustainable change.
Why Seek Support?
Working with a weight loss therapist can help you:
Break free from cycles of emotional or disordered eating

Feel more at ease in your own skin
Develop self-trust and intuitive eating habits
Improve your mental and physical wellbeing holistically
Real, lasting transformation often begins when you shift the focus from control to connection. With the right support, meaningful change becomes not only possible, but empowering.
