Clinical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy for weight loss

It’s frustrating when the effort you put into losing weight doesn’t lead to lasting results. Maybe you’ve followed diet after diet, pushed yourself at the gym, or tried to resist cravings, only to end up feeling stuck and disheartened.


For some, it’s about battling emotional eating — turning to food for comfort during stress or sadness. For others, it’s the overwhelming sense of failure when progress slips away. The constant cycle of trying and falling short can leave you wondering if lasting change is even possible.


True transformation isn’t about willpower alone—it’s about addressing the deeper patterns driving your behaviours. With the right tools and guidance, you can create a healthier relationship with food, regain confidence, and achieve a sustainable sense of wellbeing.

In-person or online sessions for weight loss

ACT Complete Therapy offers custom clinical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy sessions optimised to support sustainable weight loss by addressing the root causes of unhealthy eating habits. Each session is personalised to your specific challenges, helping you build a healthier relationship with food and regain control of your choices.


Using proven techniques, we’ll work to uncover and resolve the emotional processes that lead to overeating or unhealthy cravings. Learn how to enjoy nourishing foods, stop eating out of stress or overwhelm, and find the motivation to prioritise your physical well-being. We work with a nutritionist to set you up with an individualised plan.


Our approach helps you eat less without feeling deprived, empowering you to listen to your body’s natural signals. As you gain control of your eating habits, you’ll notice a boost in your confidence and self-esteem, encouraging you to embrace a lifestyle that supports your goals.


With every step forward, the part of you that desires a healthy, balanced life becomes stronger, paving the way for a slimmer, fitter, and more energised future — one where you’re fully in control.
