The Body Achieves What The Mind Believes
Successful weight management is about more than diet and exercise
People start diets and exercise plans every day in the hope of losing weight. But the psychological factors that help or hinder long-term weight management and positive body image are often overlooked.
Your mindset is key to successful weight management
Weight loss involves change, motivation and commitment. It can mean a significant shift in lifestyle and a need to sustain that shift over time. Stress, depression and anxiety can all be factors in hindering success. Counselling can help you understand the issues that may be contributing to your weight management difficulties.

How Psychology Helps

Weight loss or Weight management psychology is the process of working with individuals to identify and understand patterns and behaviours that trigger difficulties when trying to lose weight, which may include;
- Relationship to emotional (comfort), compulsive or binge eating;
- Relationship to occupational environment and exercise
- Body image issues;
- Depression, Stress and Anxiety
- Lack of confidence
Managing body image issues or trying to lose weight is never an easy journey.
Even though some individuals get quicker results, there is a large percentage of individuals who struggle to achieve the results they desire. Some may think that losing weight is all about eating less and working out more, which is actually not true for everyone. This wrong belief or assumption can result in an individual starting their weight loss journey with the wrong strategy, which produces a negative outcome I.e. “I have failed”.
Have you been a victim of the diet cycle?
Traditionally when a weight loss program begins – nutritional requirements and exercise regimes are researched extensively and a program is designed to suit each individual. Mindset is not normally considered and can be the missing link needed to achieve your body image & weight loss goals.
