Weight Loss Hypnotherapy - Virtual Gastric Mind Band – 4 Session Programme
Hypnotherapy To Help You Gain Control Of Your Eating Habits?
If you’re fed up with starting another diet, losing weight and then finding yourself back where you started, you’re certainly not alone.
Maybe you’ve tried lots of different diets. Maybe you know what you should be eating, but cravings, snacking, emotional eating or comfort eating seem to get in the way.
Perhaps food has become your comfort when you’re stressed, tired, bored or upset.
And maybe you’re simply ready to feel more in control around food and happier and more confident in yourself again.
My Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Programme with the Virtual Gastric Mind Band is designed to help you work on the thoughts, emotions and habits that may be influencing your relationship with food.
I offer weight loss hypnotherapy from my practice in Nunthorpe, Middlesbrough, as well as online, so you can take your journey from wherever you feel most comfortable.
What Is the Virtual Gastric Mind Band?
The Virtual Gastric Mind Band is a form of hypnotherapy that uses the power of your imagination and subconscious mind.
During hypnosis, I guide you through a visualisation of having a gastric band fitted. Your mind is encouraged to imagine that the band is there, helping you become more aware of portion sizes and feelings of satisfaction.
There is no physical procedure and no actual gastric band is fitted.
Instead, we use hypnosis, visualisation and positive suggestions to help you work towards changing your relationship with food and developing healthier habits.
The focus isn’t on another restrictive diet.
It’s about helping you understand your habits, recognise your triggers and feel more confident making choices that support the healthier lifestyle you want.
Is This Programme Right For You?
This programme could be for you if:
You’re fed up with yo-yo dieting.
You’ve tried lots of diets but struggled to maintain your progress.
You find yourself reaching for food when you’re stressed, bored, tired or upset.
You struggle with cravings or frequent snacking.
You sometimes eat for comfort rather than because you’re physically hungry.
You’d like to feel more in control around food.
You’d like to make healthier food choices without feeling deprived.
You want to improve your confidence and self-esteem.
You’re ready to make positive changes and start feeling better about yourself.
If you’re nodding along thinking “that’s me!”, then perhaps it’s time to try something different. 
Your Mind & Your Relationship With Food
Our thoughts, feelings and behaviours can become closely connected with food.
Sometimes we can find ourselves eating automatically without really thinking about why we’re doing it.
Perhaps you’ve had a difficult day and reach for chocolate.
Maybe you’re tired and find yourself snacking.
Perhaps you’re feeling upset or anxious and food gives you that little bit of comfort.
These patterns can become habits over time.
Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the subconscious mind and explore some of those patterns, helping you develop healthier ways of responding.
Together, we’ll work towards changing the way you think, feel and respond around food.
Your 4-Session Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Journey
Your Virtual Gastric Mind Band Weight Loss Programme consists of four sessions, with each session building on the last.
Session 1 – Emotional & Mental Detox
We’ll begin by looking at some of the emotional thoughts and patterns that may be getting in the way of your weight-loss goals.
I’ll use gentle hypnotherapy techniques to help you release stress and emotional tension and begin creating a more positive mindset.
Session 2 – Your Virtual Gastric Mind Band
This is where you’ll experience your Virtual Gastric Mind Band visualisation.
Using hypnosis and imagination, we’ll work on helping you become more aware of your portions, eating habits and feelings of satisfaction.
Session 3 – Cravings, Habits & Your Relationship With Food
We’ll focus on those habits that can sometimes sabotage your progress.
We’ll work with things such as:
Sweet and savoury cravings
Snacking
Emotional eating
Comfort eating
Secret eating
Unhelpful eating habits
The aim is to help you feel more in control and make choices that feel right for you.
Session 4 – Confidence, Motivation & Your Future
This final session is about looking forward.
We’ll strengthen your motivation, confidence and belief in yourself while helping you focus on the healthier lifestyle you’re creating.
What Could You Gain From Your Journey?
Everyone’s journey is different, but your programme can help you work towards:
Feeling more in control around food
Reducing emotional and comfort eating
Becoming more aware of cravings and snacking
Making healthier food choices
Developing healthier eating habits
Becoming more mindful of portion sizes
Increasing your motivation to exercise
Building your confidence and self-esteem
Feeling more positive about your body
Creating a healthier relationship with food
Most importantly, this is your journey.
There are no promises of a particular amount of weight loss because everyone’s body, circumstances and journey are different.
Instead, we’ll focus on helping you make positive changes that support the goals you want to achieve.

QUIT SMOKING
Hypnotherapy for quitting smoking can be an effective method in challenging unhelpful mindsets and negative behaviour and bad habits associated with smoking, helping you to live a healthier life.
Quitting smoking is a big challenge for a person, and they will often need more than just willpower.
When it comes to stopping smoking, it is important you know why you want to quit and not because someone else wants you to stop, or for any other reasons other than your own.
If you are 100% and are committed to stop smoking then we can work together.
Fear of Public Speaking
Having a fear of Public speaking is common, the thought of getting up in front of a crowd of people and talking is enough to make most people break out in a sweat and feel anxious, but for some people this anxiety can develop into a phobia – known as glossophobia, and can create feelings of being judged by others, and this combined with doubts over your ability to deliver can feel overwhelming and can cause fear and may cause a sudden panic attack.
Public speaking can be avoidable but for others it is not, especially if you have to deliver a speech or a presentation in front of work colleagues or higher authorities etc and you know there is no way out of the situation. This can then lead to an anxiety build up and can accumulate up to the day of the presentation. When we experience fear, our minds tend to work against us, with automatic negative thoughts and self doubt, sweaty palms, nervousness and affects confidence.
If you are experiencing a fear of public speaking I can help you to boost your confidence and to believe in yourself again because you can do it!
CONFIDENCE & SELF ESTEEM PROGRAMME
CONFIDENCE BUILDING / INCREASED SELF ESTEEM/ POSITIVITY / SELF LOVE & ACCEPTANCE
Life’s knock backs can create a lack of confidence within us, either losing a job, not getting the promotion, ending of a relationship, being alone and single, can cause Anxiety and create feelings of low self worth, low confidence, not feeling good enough or question your abilities.
Here are a few examples I can help you with on the Confidence Programme:
- Public speaking
- Networking
- Relationships
- Self belief
- Sporting performance
- Interviews
- Exams
Whatever your reason is for lacking in confidence or self esteem. We can explore your subconscious negative thought patterns and behaviour and give you that inner power back to believe in yourself again, by boosting that inner confidence so you can do anything you set your mind to !
The difference between Self-Esteem and Confidence
Your self-esteem is how you think and feel about yourself. Your self-esteem can affect how much you:
- Like and value yourself as a person
- Believe in yourself and the things you can do
- Stand up for yourself when under pressure
- Are willing to try new or difficult things
- Move on from mistakes without blaming yourself unfairly
- Believe you are good enough
- Believe you deserve happiness
If you have high self esteem, the way you think and feel about yourself, is likely to be positive, but if you have low self-esteem, you may find the way you think and feel about yourself is more negative.
What can really affect our self-esteem and confidence are the "people we surround ourselves with, especially our friends partners/colleagues etc, if they are somewhat toxic" it is always in your very best interest to distance yourself away from those type of negative people that try to manipulate and control you or drag you down to their level.
"Always surround yourself with Positive, Happy people who make you laugh and only want the best for you and support you with love"
What is Confidence?
- Confidence is about believing in yourself, your abilities and ideas
- Understanding and accepting yourself for who you are – like being proud of yourself, or not wanting to change yourself to fit in with others, also to love yourself, and accept yourself for that unique person that you are and stop worrying about what people think of you, or comparing yourself to others.
- The truth is we all have different journeys in life, your journey is different to anybody else's.
“Confidence doesn’t mean outgoing, you can still be quiet or shy and still be confident, and even when someone is the loudest person in the room, that doesn’t always mean they’re feeling the most confident inside”.
Negative past experiences can lower your self confidence and self-esteem.
If you are struggling with your confidence and self-esteem, then this Confidence building Programme is for you.
Fear of Flying

Hypnotherapy is an effective and rapid way of treating your fear of flying. It is a fairly common and irrational fear and can accumulate weeks before the flight. It can also have an impact on your professional career, when you are required to meet client’s abroad and you cannot avoid it, it can cost you your job, avoidance just makes the fear worst in your mind.
A fear of flying can also affect your personal life, it prevents you from enjoying holidays with family and friends and spoil your own family life, depriving family members of a summer holiday abroad.
Controlling your anxiety is an essential part of managing your fear. When you are in an anxious state, your perceptions are distorted. I can help you with
Hypnotherapy to overcome your fear of flying to help you to feel more relaxed, and to gain control of your thoughts and feelings to feel calmer during the flight.
Healing your Inner Child
The inner child exists in all of us and we all have the younger version of ourselves still inside, it lives in our subconscious mind.
If you experienced any difficulties from the past, any trauma, neglect, abandonment or abuse (emotionally, physically, and/or sexually) hurt or anger it will wound the child within, if needs have not been healed from the past, then the adult will react exactly as he/she may have done in the past with feelings of hurt or anger etc and because of this, at later points in our lives, those negative experiences can manifest as anxiety issues, physical problems or illnesses, feelings of low self worth or lack of confidence. It can also affect relationships, create irrational fears or result of down days, low moods or sadness.
How do you know if your inner child needs healing? Here are some common symptoms of a wounded inner child:
- You feel too scared to be totally open with people,you have difficulty showing them the real you.
- You are reactive: you instantly respond to others defensively rather than fully understanding what you’re feeling. For example, feeling hurt or scared comes out as anger/ frustration.
- No matter how much effort you put into controlling your life, you still feel totally out of control.
- You have difficulty managing negative thoughts or beliefs about yourself.
The great news is that there are steps to take to overcome a wounded inner child that can lead to a more positive, genuine life with others.
- Healing might include developing a strong positive inner voice rather than a critical voice that perpetuates self abuse.
- Healing might also include learning how to accurately identify and express the feelings you are experiencing.
- Also, learning what our needs are, individually, outside of relationships and becoming confident asking for those needs to be met.
- We can learn how to love and nurture that child again so he/she comes out of hiding and feels more confident being with others without the mask.
- When our inner child is loved by ourselves, we can love others without fear, take healthy risks, be genuine, reconnect with the interests that enrich our lives, and be more confident.
Connecting with the inner child with hypnosis is a beautiful process, and is a wonderful heartfelt experience.

Fear of Driving / Motorways / Panic Attacks
Hypnotherapy for a driving anxiety can help you remove fear and tension, to allow you to drive with confidence. It is surprisingly a common fear and it can seriously affect a person’s work and social life.
Though some people have suffered from the fear of driving for many years, others can drive for most of their lives with confidence but then can experience a sudden anxiety and panic attack, this may have occurred on a motorway or any road.
Once the person has felt in danger whilst driving, the subconscious mind then automatically associates the fear response with the activity of driving, and it can then be triggered at any time the person is in a similar driving situation on either a motorway or any road. Driving anxiety can increase overtime and escalates, so a person avoids driving or only on familiar roads.
If you are experiencing a fear of motorway driving or on any road, please get in touch I can help you to gain confidence and feel more calmer.
