If you are reading this page you may well have spent years dieting and then putting all your weight back and often more.
You may even at this stage be considering surgery rather than endure the pain and humiliation of starting another diet taken from yet another ‘miracle diet’ that promises you immediate weight loss and the perceived happiness that will come with that weight loss.
You may have tired everything from diet pills, laxatives, diuretics and every new fad on the market.
You may well have come to the realisation that ‘quick fix’ dieting doesn’t work other than to result in rebound and yo-yo dieting.
At Healing Minds we aim to treat the cause of your weight problem and look beyond the relationship you have with food. We treat the cause and not the symptom and through therapy you will begin to understand the deeper reasons as to why you abuse food as you do. In order to have a healthy relationship with food we will explore the reasons why you psychologically need the food and the weight despite your deep feelings towards them.
Counselling will support you in establishing a core sense of self, strengthen your self esteem and develop new patterns of eating behaviour.
We will treat you holistically, nurturing both your body and your mind, therefore, unlike normal counselling, advice and nutritional education will be given as part of your treatment. We also will invite you to see our Nutritionist if we believe it may be beneficial to you. We have also found that both Hypnotherapy and the Emotional Freedom Technique can prove very effective with disempowering the power of food, both therapies we have available on site if that is something you would like to consider.
