Weight Loss

If you have dieted most of your life, struggled to stick to healthy habits, or feel stuck in patterns of emotional eating, this 8-week programme is designed to help you move beyond dieting into lasting, natural change, because the best way to predict your health is to create it.

“Lasting change begins in the mind when things feel calmer, healthier choices become easier.”

If any of this feels familiar, I can help

Weight is rarely just about food. Here are the patterns this programme is designed to work with.

Emotional eating

Food is how I soothe, celebrate, and escape. I eat when I am not really hungry.

Yo-yo dieting

I have lost the same weight more times than I can count. I am tired of starting over.

Cravings that override me

I know what I want to eat. And yet, come evening, I am elbow-deep in something else.

Low motivation for movement

I want to move my body more. I just cannot seem to start, or stay, consistently.

Stress eating

The harder the day, the more I reach. Food is the quickest form of regulation I know.

Low confidence in my body

Photos, shopping, mirrors. I avoid them. I want to feel at home in myself again.

How hypnotherapy helps

Your subconscious mind drives much of your behaviour, including eating habits, self-talk, motivation and reactions to stress. Hypnotherapy works by rewriting old habits and unhelpful beliefs around food, visualising your ideal weight, health and confidence, embedding practical, sustainable lifestyle changes, and reducing the emotional triggers that lead to overeating.

Sessions combine gentle hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), guided visualisation and practical tools to manage cravings. Over the eight weeks you will build long-term freedom from yo-yo dieting, greater confidence and self-esteem, a calmer and more comfortable relationship with eating, renewed motivation for movement, and lower stress and emotional eating. This is not another diet. It is a chance to become the person who no longer needs one.

8-week weight loss programme

The programme includes a one-hour initial consultation and seven one-hour tailored hypnotherapy sessions. Each session uses tailored scripts written in your own language and at your pace, because that is what makes the real difference. Together we work with cravings, emotional eating triggers, motivation and self-image, using hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, guided visualisation and practical lifestyle tools, so the change feels natural, not forced.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will start this by saying Lorraine has changed my life!! That is really no exaggeration. I suffered with very severe postnatal depression which led to years of health anxiety related to my daughter. As I got older the health anxiety then crept into my own world where I became obsessed with the idea that myself or my daughter were going to suffer some terrible illness. I went to Lorraine in desperate need of some help to relieve the stress, pressure and pain this condition was chasing as it was ruling my every day life. Through hypnotherapy and NLP Lorraine has reprogrammed my thinking and I no longer suffer the symptoms of health anxiety. The thoughts crop up, because she can’t wipe my brain, but I no longer dwell on them, they no longer upset or distress me, and they no longer impact how I live, feel or sleep. It’s truly magical. I am so grateful and have actually recommended two of my family members to see her, one of whom is now already engaging in her care and seeing huge benefits! Thank you Lorraine, you are so wonderful at what you do and I will be forever grateful 🙏🏻 💗

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Lorraine with a fear of flying. She skilfully designed a series of sessions which included hypnotherapy and NLP. Every session was not only deeply relaxing and empowering, but also gave me practical tools to take away and practise. Each session built on the last and the final session pulled everything together. During the flight I was able to take control of my nerves an emotions, such an amazing feeling. I would definitely recommend Lorraine, she has taught me skills for life 🤩

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Lorraine for issues with IBS; nothing I had tried previously had had a long term effect. I was very sceptical. I found Lorraine to be a very warm and understanding person, she asked questions in a careful and supportive way. She explained the benefits of deep breathing and hypnotherapy and I have now had 3 hypnotherapy sessions. I feel so relaxed and energised after these sessions and to date have not had an IBS issue for 3 months - RESULT! Would fully recommend Lorraine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was initially a bit cynical about trying hypnotherapy however due to the long waiting lists on the NHS for treatment I decided to try it.  I went to Lorraine with anxiety issues and a fear of vomiting and eating certain foods. From the moment I met with Lorraine she made me feel at ease,  I felt listened to and hopeful that my problems could be solved. At the end of my 6 sessions I have learnt a lot about myself , Lorraine has given me lots of information and techniques to take away with me. I am now getting back to my normal self , enjoying socialising again and eating food!  I feel so much more relaxed and haven’t had any anxiety issues. I would definitely recommend Lorraine and I am so thankful for all she has done x
