Hypnotherapy in Newcastle & Tea Gardens
Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Program in Newcastle
If you have already had a go at this on your own more than once, you are not alone, and it was never a lack of willpower. Some eating patterns have been in place for most of a lifetime, and they are worth more than one appointment.
Start with a free consultation. Tell me where you are up to, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person to help.
The program is five sessions, one to one, in my rooms at Lambton or at Tea Gardens. We spend the first on the virtual gastric band procedure, the middle three address any challenges along the way for example snacking or motivation, in a relaxed and focused state, and the last on the months ahead.
Why a longer piece of work suits some people better
A single session is often enough for a habit that sits on its own. Eating rarely sits on its own. It is usually tied to how a person handles a hard day, and to beliefs about themselves that were set a very long time ago. And it's often a group of habits we need to change, not just over eating for example.
Your subconscious mind prefers what is familiar, because being familiar is how it judges something to be safe. Five appointments give us room to work on the pattern and then to see what real life does with it before we finish.
None of that is a personal failure. It is simply how the mind works, and it is why I would rather offer you the time than sell you a single session that has too much to carry.
What hypnosis is, and what it is like
The question I am asked most on the phone
How it feels
A relaxed, focused state, a bit like being deeply absorbed in something. In that state the mind is more receptive to suggestions that fit with what you already want for yourself.
You stay in control
You remain fully aware throughout. You hear everything I say, you can talk to me, and you can bring yourself out of it whenever you like.
Where it is used
Hypnosis is used these days in dentistry, in medicine, in law enforcement, in professional sport and in education, alongside therapeutic work like mine.
What the five sessions cover
One to one, in my own rooms, with time between them on purpose
First
We start with your story
When it began, what you have already tried, what happens on your hardest days, what your current habits are like and what you would like your eating to look like. Then your first hypnosis session, which is where we set the foundation with the virtual gastric banding.
Then
The deeper sessions
The subsequent sessions are where we work on the patterns and habits itself and on the belief it is attached to. We address all aspects of weight management over an eight to 10 week period and you have daily support and a bonus recording to listen to at home.
Last
Then we plan the months ahead
The situations that tend to undo it, what you might do instead, and how to reach me if you want a top up session further down the track. You leave with results, new lifestyle habits that are easily implemented and knowing what happens when a hard month turns up.

“I have done psychology, but nothing has prepared for the impact hypnotherapy has done for me... Brenda helped me switch off my binge eating and with her wealth of nutritional knowledge and experience has been an amazing support.”

What results can you expect?
I cannot promise you a number, and I would be wary of anybody who does. What I can tell you is what my own clients have written under their own names on Google, and that the ones who did well played a real part in it themselves. That part is yours, and it is the half of this that no session can do for you.
Your part in it
Hypnotherapy is not something that is done to you. You play an active part in it, and it takes determination and commitment on your behalf. When it goes well, we have achieved that together, and the part you played in it is a real one.
All you need is an open mind, to be able to follow simple instructions and want the change for yourself, not because someone else wants the change.
Often it is not only about the food
People come to me about their weight and we frequently end up talking about stress, or sleep, or grief, or years of putting everybody else first, because eating is very often doing a job somewhere else in their life.
I have worked in health and wellness for over thirty years and I work with the whole person rather than with one habit in isolation. If there is something else going on for you, bring it with you and we will look at it together.
There is a page on Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy in Newcastle too, and all of the work I do has the rest of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the program different from a single session?
A single session works on one habit. The program gives us five appointments, so we can work on all the different patterns surrounding your lifestyle choices, then see what real life does with it, and adjust before we finish.
Do I have to commit to all four up front?
We decide at your consultation. Some people start with one session and move into the program afterwards, and that is perfectly normal.
Is the virtual gastric band included?
It is available inside the program for the clients who want it, and we decide that together once I know what we are working with.
Will I get a meal plan?
You will not get a meal plan or a calorie target from me. What you eat stays your decision, and my work is on the pattern underneath it.
Will I lose control or say something I would rather keep to myself?
You remain fully aware and in control the whole time. You hear everything, you can speak, and you can bring yourself out of it whenever you like.
What if my weight is tied to a medical condition?
Tell me on the phone. I work alongside your doctor rather than instead of them, and where your GP is the right first call I will say so.
Where are your rooms?
Suite 5, 115 Elder Street, Lambton NSW 2299, and I also see people at Tea Gardens.
Is hypnotherapy covered by Medicare?
No. Medicare doesn't cover hypnotherapy, and it can't be claimed on a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Whether your private health fund pays anything back depends on your fund and your extras cover, so it's worth checking with them before you book. If you'd like to talk it through first, book a free phone call with me.
