VGB Success Stories

Most people who follow a traditional dieting system will lose weight whilst on that diet. However, as soon as they stop dieting the weight invariably returns often leaving them heavier than before the diet began!

It is estimated that more than 90% of all people who diet experience this cycle.

Most diets include some form of deprivation or denial, some involve counting calories or points, but all merely serve to program the mind to think about food. When an individual goes on a diet, they find themselves thinking about food more than ever before. In the denial of comfort foods and in eating different meals to the rest of the family three things happen: the brain fights against it, the body fights against it and the day to day environment fights against it. 

How often have you said to yourself ‘That’s it, tomorrow I’m going on a diet and I’m only going to eat healthy food.’ Of course, the good intentions quickly lapse and its right back to stage one… and misery all over again! As most eating habits are deeply ingrained in the subconscious, the outcome is the same each time a certain set of circumstances prevail. 

When we are told to avoid something, or we consciously deny ourselves, we usually crave it even more. Eating a little less than we need – but having anything we want – can actually lead to weight loss. Cutting out favourite foods completely is a bad idea but cutting down on those foods is achievable and sustainable. 

It removes the need, and desire, to eat those foods that you know are no longer helpful for you. You won’t need to count calories, or points, use shakes or liquid foods or even take pills or undergo any discomfort. We help you to feel in control of food rather than its controlling you. We help you to eat consciously and to listen to what your stomach tells you rather than your mind. We help you to form new healthy habits that you can maintain. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair and relax. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

Since the American Medical Association (AMA) and the British Medical Association (BMA) approved the use of clinical hypnosis in the 1950s, thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to lose weight, stop smoking and improve their lives in many ways. There are varying degrees of success with hypnosis because much depends upon the skill, expertise, experience and competence of the individual hypnotherapist.

The beauty of my unique approach is that I use the best of traditional hypnotherapy techniques and combine them with my years of experience as a Counsellor, which takes our process to an even greater level of effectiveness. 

One of the reasons why it’s not painful or difficult to lose weight with my method – in fact, one of the reasons why it’s so easy – is that I transfer the pleasure derived from overeating or eating the inappropriate foods to a healthier habit of your choice e.g. three small meals each day, some exercise, drinking more water or good old fashioned relaxation. This is the reason why, with me, there are NO unwanted diets and deprivation, or any other problems associated with getting rid of those kilos – the only side effects are improvements in health, wealth and freedom. 

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a deep state of relaxation where the client and therapist work together. The specialist facilitates the process to assist the client to achieve their desired outcome. In this deep state of relaxation, the altered state of awareness allows for the hypnotherapist to communicate with the client at a deeper level of consciousness known as the unconscious and use a range of techniques to assist the client to resolve their issue.

Our minds work on two levels – the conscious and the unconscious. Our conscious mind thinks, acts and solves problems. Our unconscious mind controls our habits and emotions – it is the protective part of the mind. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis we can communicate in a very direct and powerful way with the unconscious mind. This is why hypnosis is such an effective method for quickly and easily changing lifelong habits.

Trance is a naturally occurring state experienced by most people so almost everyone can by hypnotised. The only pre-requisite is a willingness for change in hypnosis because you cannot be hypnotised against your will. Since the sessions are custom tailored to your individual needs, virtually anyone can achieve successful results with our hypnotherapy weight loss programme.

Most people cannot tell the difference between the hypnotised and the waking state. Some people feel relaxed and sleepy, others feel a sort of lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change for the better in their daily behaviours.

Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep; it is an awake state. You cannot get ‘stuck’ in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to reveal anything you don’t want to reveal in fact you could even lie if you wanted to. You cannot be made to do something against your will. There are no drugs and no unpleasant side effects. Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing and enjoyable experience with ZERO risk!

There are many habits associated with eating which are controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis works directly with the unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense. I can help you effortlessly transition into a healthy lifestyle, happily feeling in control of your eating and feeling liberated from thinking about food all the time. So naturally hypnosis is the obvious choice for weight loss, permanently and easily.
