I understand how frustrating weight loss can feel when you’ve tried so hard. The truth is, it’s not just about willpower or restrictive dieting. Often, our struggles with weight are deeply connected to emotional patterns, stress, self-esteem, and how we relate to food and our bodies.

How Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Can Help

Through hypnotherapy sessions crafted specifically for your unique needs, I support you to:

  • Establish healthier eating habits
  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Overcome cravings and emotional eating
  • Develop mindful eating practices
  • Increase motivation for movement
  • Overcome limiting beliefs

My Personalised Approach

Every client’s weight loss journey is unique. I work with you to:

  • Identify your goals – Understand what success looks like for you and what might be driving your current patterns
  • Develop a tailored strategy – Create a personalised plan that addresses your specific challenges and circumstances
  • Provide practical coping skills – Give you tools and techniques you can use independently as you progress
  • Offer ongoing support – Build momentum and maintain motivation through your hypnotherapy sessions

The Complete Picture: Diet and Exercise

Weight loss is a balance of nutrition and movement. While hypnotherapy effectively addresses the psychological and emotional aspects of eating, I also support your motivation and enjoyment of exercise. Many clients find that as their relationship with food improves, they naturally feel more motivated to move their bodies – and actually enjoy it.

This holistic approach means you’re not just losing weight; you’re beginning an entirely new, healthier phase of your life.

Hypnotherapy can help you achieve your goals. The best time to start is now.

I offer hypnotherapy for weight loss to clients across South Devon, with both in-person and online sessions available.

“I no longer think about food all the time and feel completely in control of what I’m eating. Sam was fantastic to work with – I found her hugely attentive and sympathetic.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes I am. I trained at the prestigious Anglo-European College of Therapeutic Hypnosis and am listed under the college directory. I was awarded the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma, considered the gold standard in hypnotherapy qualifications. I’m a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register and the CNHC.

As a professional I’m committed to on-going training and supervision to keep my skills and knowledge up to date. I’ve completed additional specialist hypnotherapy training in anxiety management, sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, metaphor therapy, pain management and weight loss. I’m also a BWRT® practitioner and very excited to bring this rapid and dynamic therapy to Devon.

Hypnosis is an everyday experience that we’re all familiar with. Whenever you’re totally absorbed in reading a good book, driving on autopilot or even just day-dreaming, you’re experiencing a light state of hypnosis. The difference with hypnotherapy is that you are guided into hypnosis and the experience is deeper.

People often believe that hypnosis is a passive process, something that is done to you, but it actually requires your participation. Hypnosis is not like sleep, and you’re not unconscious; it’s similar to the state between sleep and full waking consciousness. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused inner absorption with a heightened sense of awareness.

Most people find hypnosis a very relaxing, calming and enjoyable experience. It’s common to have increased awareness of pleasant feelings and sensations in your body. Many experience a sense of comfortable heaviness, lightness or a floating sensation; although sometimes it feels just like relaxing or day dreaming with your eyes closed. While the majority of people are aware of and remember everything others will find they only have a vague memory of the session. Everyone is different and will experience hypnosis in their own unique way. Most people find hypnosis leaves them with a deep sense of inner peace and harmony.

Each session begins with some talking therapy – not all your time with me will be in hypnosis, though most of it will. I will help you to focus on what you want to achieve, to help you overcome the problems and challenges in your life. My aim is to help you achieve your goals as quickly and painlessly as possible – I don’t dig into the past unless absolutely necessary.

I will guide you in some simple imagination exercises to help you develop a relaxed inner focus. When you’re experiencing hypnosis your mind is more open and suggestible to positive new ideas and different ways of thinking, which then leads to new habits and behaviours. So I will guide you to imagine and mentally rehearse various scenarios and ideas to help you achieve the changes you’re aiming for. In addition to the work we do together, we’ll explore various techniques for you to use at home; for example practising self hypnosis and journaling.

Most clients will need between four and six sessions for effective change. Simple phobias may be resolved in fewer sessions, more complex issues may require longer.

It’s important to bear in mind that hypnosis is not something done to you. It’s a collaborative process in which the hypnotherapist is your guide and, using your imagination as suggested, you make it happen for yourself. Anyone who can understand and follow simple guidance can benefit from hypnotherapy. No-one can be hypnotised against their will, but if you’re ready for change and approach hypnotherapy with an open mind and a positive expectation, then you’ll definitely experience hypnosis.

What is NLP?

NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It may sound a complicated title, but it’s actually a very straightforward and down-to-earth method for making powerful personal changes. NLP focuses on what you want to achieve in life, rather than your problems; helping you learn how to use your mind to transform your life. While NLP may be used as a therapy on its own, I combine it with hypnotherapy for powerful results.

What is cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy?

The basis of cognitive behavioural therapy is that our beliefs, thoughts, interpretations and assumptions about the world determines how we feel and act; as opposed to the influence of the world itself. Cognitive behavioural therapy will help you to overcome problems which are perpetuated by unhelpful negative thought patterns. You’ll be assisted to identify distorted, unhelpful and unrealistic thoughts – substituting them with more positive, realistic and constructive thoughts. These are then rehearsed in hypnosis with imagery, and so have a much deeper and lasting impact than just positive thinking alone can achieve. This creates positive changes in the way you think and feel which will change your behaviour, and ultimately your life as a whole.

Change your thoughts and you will transform your world.
