CBT for weight management, body image concerns and habit changes

A weight management course that really works.

Do you self-sabotage every time you want to change habits?
Have tried weight management before. Did you managed to lose weight in the past only to have it all creep back on again?
Do you know what to eat and what not to eat, but you find it really hard to stick to it?
Do you binge eat and don’t know how to stop it?

This constant cycle of weight loss and weight gain is difficult and frustrating and can leave you feeling helpless, unhappy, and with very low self-esteem.

Diets don’t work in the long run. They are harmful and can lead to eating disorders, low-self-esteem and mental health issues.

Evidence based approach

CBT is a clinical psychological approach to help you make habit changes and stop that inner voice that keeps sabotaging your best efforts to make healthy lifestyle changes.

There are 3 phases of the weight management programme to help you make lasting habit changes, improve your self-belief and help you overcome disordered eating

Phase 1 - Preparing for success

In our first session of the weight management course I will ask you to complete some questionnaires to help us tailor the programme to your needs. During the first phase, you will get to understand how your mind has been sabotaging you at each and every weight loss attempt. In Phase one we will look at your current food intake and you will get a healthy nutrition plan that does not exclude any food groups and will help you to stop cravings and keep you satisfied. The nutrition plan has been put together by nutritional therapists to ensure your meals are healthy and nutritious. We will look at how you can set up your home and work to prepare you for success.

Phase 2 - Creating healthy & sustainable habits

You don’t need willpower to manage to create healthy habits and overcome disordered eating. You need skill power. In the second phase, you will be working on creating healthy sustainable habits.
You will begin to understand what your emotions and triggers are that lead you to overeat and how to overcome those triggers. Creating habits is a skill and takes time as you are creating new pathways in your brain. The second phase is all about supporting you as you create healthy habits and learn to stop that inner voice that keeps sabotaging you.

Empower yourself with life skills to make lasting changes for your health & your life.

How is the Mind over Body Weight Management Programme different?

Most diets focus on what to eat and what not to eat. The Mind over Body Weight Management programme is not a diet. Instead the programme will provide you with healthy nutritional guidelines that don’t require you to count calories or weigh your food. In addition, you will also learn to understand what has been holding you back and address your triggers and sabotaging thoughts.

Most people struggle to implement healthy habits and unlearn unhealthy ones. After completing the programme you will know how to overcome your triggers to reach your goals, and how to maintain motivation long term.

The use of behaviour change techniques makes the programme unique, as you will learn tools for life helping you change habits and create new ones.

Take charge of your life now and don’t wait for the “right” moment. The time is now to begin your journey to a healthy life, now and in the future!

Research-Based Approach

It is important to me, to continually update my skills in light of expanding knowledge about human development and psychological well-being.

In October 2018 I attended a 2-day workshop at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia where I updated my skill in CBT for weight loss with the most eminent expert in the field, Dr. Judith Beck. The Beck Institute is the home of CBT and Dr. Aaron Beck was one of the founders of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

In this workshop, I learned the latest evidence-based strategies aimed at modifying my clients’ thinking and behavior so they can make permanent changes in their eating and lose weight.

I also completed a Masters in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and my research study and dissertation was based on applying CBT for weight loss.

I create a safe and non-judgemental environment in line with the ethics and standards of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
