APPROACH

Introduction

• Do you feel that you can’t resist sugary or fatty food?
• Do you feel uncomfortable with your self-image?
• Do you want to drop a dress size?
• Do you feel that you would like to do feel fitter?
• Do you feel your weight is affecting your career?
• Do you feel embarrassed to stand up and give a presentation?

If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions and you are a busy professional, then you might want to consider attending therapy using CBT and CBH for weight management and loss.

This is not a weight loss program. In therapy you will learn what maintains the difficulty losing weight from a psychological and practical perspective. Working closely, with the help of an experienced nutritionist you will work on learning how you can develop better eating patterns.

The goal for therapy is to look better and feel physically better with an elevated confidence and self-esteem. Individuals learn to develop the mental resources to stick to an eating plan by strengthening the mind to ensure they take control over this area of their life.
