Weight Loss (Change Your Eating Habits) by Hypnotherapy
The Hypnotherapy Process for Weight Loss
The Hypnotherapy process I use is based on changing eating habits, and upon whether a person is a “habit” eater or a “compulsive” eater. This is identified at a first hypnotherapy session through using an IMR (Ideo-motor response).
Prior to embarking on the hypnotherapy, there is always an assessment – this is a consultation with the client where I can find out more about you – in this instance, what your history is including attitude to food and we discuss the reasons for wishing to lose weight. Provided hypnotherapy is an appropriate intervention – and this would all be discussed in detail with you – then we would be looking at between two and six sessions following the initial consultation.
Press release (CNHC Registration)
26 January 2011
Local hypnotherapist meets new national standards
A Clitheroe based hypnotherapist has become one of the first in the country to achieve a new national standard of excellence for her therapy.
Debbie Featherstone, based at Clitheroe Therapies, 3 Castlegate, Clitheroe has been registered by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the UK regulator for complementary healthcare.
The recognition places her at the forefront of a national drive to provide a benchmark for standards and safety for the public. Practitioners registered with the CNHC meet national occupational standards and abide by a rigorous code of conduct, performance and ethics.
Debbie said: “Achieving registration is not only great news for me and my clients, but a vital step for hypnotherapy.”
“This is the time of year when many people are struggling to keep up their new year resolutions. The most popular uses for hypnotherapy are around stress and anxiety conditions, weight control and addictive behaviours such as smoking and alcohol abuse.”
Hypnotherapy is one of 11 disciplines now recognised by the CNHC. Members of the public can search the CNHC register to find practitioners in their local area. More than 40,000 searches were carried out last year.
By providing a verification of standards, the CNHC allows GPs, hospitals, private healthcare providers and insurance companies to refer patients to hypnotherapy practitioners or to make hypnotherapy more readily available in health centres, clinics, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals.
