Weight Loss

Are you struggling with your weight or food? Are you fed up of all these fad diets and not getting the desired results. Are you constantly in conflict with your body? Do you feel powerless and frustrated with the inability to lose weight?

Perhaps you wish you could wave a magic wand to have the desired results. Sometimes emotional or traumatic events in your life may have caused you to comfort eat. There may be previous experiences, beliefs and hidden motivations for our eating behaviours that rule how we perceive food and ourselves.

By adopting more empowering beliefs and having new self- confidence, you can regain control of your life and become the person you want to be by changing your habits, thoughts, perceptions and behaviours both consciously and unconsciously around the relationship with food.

How fantastic it will be when you realise that you are no longer obsessed by your weight as you are now moving towards your ideal weight easily and effortlessly?

You will feel amazing knowing that you have taken control of your life and being able to throw away those books or even diet pills.

Confidence

Do you look at other people and think to yourself, "I wish I was like them?"

You may think they are more clever than you, wittier or how lucky they are.

Do you lack confidence and self esteem?

Maybe you feel awkward speaking to people. Do you feel you may be rejected?

Sometimes lack of confidence can come from past negative experiences you may have had as a child or teenager or even events that have taken place in your adult life. These events may be stopping you from achieving your goals or outcomes for your future.

How will it feel to overcome issues like:

  • Exam pressures
  • Interviews
  • Presentations
  • Public speaking
  • Shyness
  • Driving test nerves
  • Dating
  • Stage fright

Once the root cause is found by using a variety of techniques, all the unwanted negative thoughts can be removed and then confidence, self belief and self esteem can be re-established easily and effortlessly.

Overcome your fears, anxiety, nerves, shyness and reluctance to speak to or in front of other people.

Feel empowered and positive.

Feel amazing!


Stress & Anxiety

What is stress?

Stress is the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure. Pressure turns into stress when you feel unable to cope. People have different ways of reacting to stress, so a situation that feels stressful to one person may be motivating to someone else.

Many of life's demands can cause stress, in particular, work, relationships and money problems. When stress arises, it can affect everything you do in the way you think and behave. It can affect the body too. Some of of the common signs of stress can include:

  • Problems sleeping
  • Sweating
  • Eating habits change - over indulging or loss of appetite
  • Lack of concentration
  • Feeling anxious

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear. At some point in our lives we experience these feelings of anxiety?

It's normal to feel anxious about something like an exam or a job interview.

A little bit of anxiety can be helpful; for example, feeling anxious before an exam might make you more alert and improve your performance. But too much anxiety could make you tired and unable to concentrate.

Anxiety can have both psychological and physical symptoms. Some of the Psychological symptoms can include:

  • Difficulty sleeping, which makes you feel tired
  • Lack of concentration
  • Feeling worried
  • Irritable or on edge
  • Being extra alert
  • Unable to relax
  • Feeling tearful
  • Needing reassurance

Some of the Physical effects can include:

  • Sweating
  • Palpitations (an irregular heartbeat)
  • A pounding heartbeat
  • Breathing faster
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Chest pains
  • A change in eating habits - over indulging or loss of appetite
  • Feeling faint or dizziness
  • Frequency in visits to the toilet
  • Butterflies in the tummy

Anxiety is something we learn to do, how will it feel not to be anxious?

Be free of the anxiety that does not serve you. You can make that change.


Fears & Phobias

A fear is a natural response and is part of our evolution. However, a fear can develop and becomes a phobia when you have to change your lifestyle to manage it.

A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear or dread aroused by a particular object or circumstance, to the point where it can severely restrict your life.

If you have a phobia, you'll go to great lengths to avoid an object or situation that most people consider harmless.

Coming into contact, or even the thought of coming into contact, with the object of the phobia can make you panic.

The 10 most commonly reported phobias in the UK, according to a survey by Anxiety UK, are:

  • Sociophobia: fear of interacting with other people. May start off as shyness
  • Agoraphobia: fear of open public spaces. Often associated with panic attacks
  • Emetophobia - fear of vomiting
  • Erythrophobia - fear of blushing
  • Hodophobia - fear of travel
  • Hypchondria - fear of illness
  • Aerophobia - fear of flying
  • Arachnophobia - fear of spiders
  • Zoophobia - fear of animals
  • Claustrophobia - fear of confined spaces

Other Fears and Phobias:

  • Acrophobia - fear of heights
  • Ceraunophobia - fear of thunder
  • Chino phobia - fear of dogs
  • Coulrophobia - fear of clowns
  • Felinophobia - fear of cats
  • Glossophobia - fear of public speaking
  • Hydrophobia - fear of water
  • Musophobia - fear of mice
  • Odontophobia - fear of dentists
  • Ornithophobia - fear of birds

If your Fear or Phobia is not listed then please contact me.

You don't have to live with a fear or phobia.

Imagine being in control and being able to deal with your fear or phobia.

How fantastic will it be feeling calmer and comfortable?


Limiting Decisions, Negative Emotions & Beliefs

How many times do you say, "I just don't feel happy," "I don't feel loved," "I'm not capable," " I can't make that kind of money," "I'm not good enough?"

What is not obvious is that anytime we have a Limiting Belief we must have a Limiting Decision, which preceded it. Each time in the past when you adopt a Limiting Belief, a Limiting Decision preceded that acceptance. A Limiting Decision preceded even the beliefs that were adopted from other people. E.g "I don't believe I can do it."

All doubts are Limiting Decisions.

How amazing will it feel to not have those Negative Emotions, Beliefs and Limiting Decisions?

Using Time Line Therapy® techniques, we will work with eliminating those past Negative Emotions and Limiting Decisions.

Children can also react to various events and changes in their lives.
