Regain control around food, stop emotional eating, and achieve lasting weight loss through clinical hypnotherapy.
Struggling with emotional eating, bad habits and cravings, or feeling out of control around food?
Many of the people who contact me during their weight loss journey have already tried diets, calorie counting, keeping a food diary, exercise programmes, or commercial weight-loss plans.
While these “quick fix” approaches can sometimes produce results, maintaining them can be difficult when the psychological causes of weight gain have not been resolved.
If you would like to explore whether this approach may be suitable for you, the first step is a confidential 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your situation and determine the most appropriate way forward.
Most people who are overweight know they should swap that chocolate bar for vegetables, and understand the importance of exercise for minimising the health risks of a poor diet.
The difficulty is rarely a lack of knowledge.
For some clients, their appetite is influenced by emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, boredom or low self esteem. In these situations food can become a way of coping – an attempt to soothe uncomfortable emotions or change how a person feels.
When these underlying issues are not addressed, weight loss often becomes a repeated cycle of losing weight followed by regaining it. In some cases resolving a deep-rooted anxiety can also be an important part of achieving lasting lifestyle changes.
My approach focuses on identifying and resolving the emotional and behavioural patterns that make losing weight difficult, allowing healthier habits to develop more naturally and making it easier to maintain long-term change.

My weight loss hypnotherapy sessions may help people lose weight who:
Most people searching for weight loss hypnotherapy in Dublin contact me after struggling with various other weight loss methods.
During the consultation I assess your situation carefully to determine whether this therapy is appropriate for you.
I have had over 20 years’ clinical experience helping people achieve lasting behavioural and emotional change.
Practicing in Dublin since 2003, I have worked with thousands of clients at my Dublin hypnotherapy clinic, helping people overcome issues such as stress-related eating and other unwanted habits that prevent them from living a healthier lifestyle.
Alongside my private practice, I am also an International Havening Techniques Trainer and help therapists and health professionals worldwide learn advanced approaches to emotional and behavioural change.
The Think Yourself Thin programme is a structured, personalised weight loss hypnotherapy approach designed to resolve the psychological and emotional issues that contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
Rather than focusing only on restricting food or counting calories like some complementary therapies, the programme works with the subconscious mind to change the thoughts, feelings and behavioural patterns connected to what they eat.
Each weight loss programme is tailored to the individual situation of each person, with the aim of identifying what is maintaining the problem and resolving those factors directly, with no adverse reactions.
My hypnosis sessions are designed to help you:
Another important part of the programme is helping clients create clear and realistic weight loss goals. Research in psychology has shown that people who define and write down their goals are significantly more likely to achieve them.
In the hypnosis for weight loss sessions, we combine structured goal setting with hypnosis and visualisation to reinforce motivation and support lasting behavioural change.
Alongside the psychological work, many clients find it easier to make small improvements in their life, such as taking exercise more regularly, boosting their metabolism, energy levels and overall wellbeing.
Many clients also report a noticeable reduction in wanting to eat sugar or highly processed foods as the emotional triggers are resolved.
Hypnotherapy works by helping you access a deep state of relaxation and focus, where it becomes easier to influence your unconscious mind and emotional responses.
Many eating behaviours operate automatically, driven by patterns that have developed over time. Hypnosis allows these patterns to be examined and adjusted while you are in this deeply relaxed state, in a way that supports healthier choices.
As these underlying patterns change, many clients naturally find themselves:
One of the key aims of hypnotherapy for weight loss is helping you feel satisfied with less food and comfortably stop when you begin to feel full.
In some cases I may also integrate techniques such as Havening and anxiety treatment to help resolve any anxiety or emotional triggers connected to eating.
The first step is a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation.
During this call I explore your situation, discuss the difficulties you have been experiencing with food or your weight, find out about any other methods you have tried, and assess if my programme is appropriate for you.
If the programme is suitable, the hypnosis sessions are structured to address the psychological patterns connected to your relationship to food.
For some clients I use a combination of techniques, such as the Hypnotic Gastric Band, a psychological visualisation therapy designed to support sustainable behaviour change.
As the emotional and behavioural patterns connected to your diet begin to shift, many clients notice they feel calmer around food and find it much easier to maintain healthier habits in life.
Yes. My hypnosis techniques can help resolve the wide range of psychological and behavioural patterns that often contribute to weight gain.
Yes. It is often linked to stress, anxiety or learned behavioural patterns. Hypnotherapy can help resolve the emotional triggers behind it and reinforce positive, healthier responses to stress and food.
The number of hypnosis sessions varies depending on each person and their goals. During the consultation I assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate approach.
Many clients report that hypnotherapy helps reduce their need for sugar, processed and other unhealthy foods by resolving the emotional triggers connected to these behaviours.
Depending on the situation, I might ask you to do some deep breathing, or even bring you out of the hypnotic state altogether.
Hypnotherapy focuses on changing the thoughts, ideas and patterns connected to their behaviour, helping many people break bad habits and maintain a healthier lifestyle for sustained, long-term weight loss.
