Psychotherapy for Calm Body, Calm Mind
Psychotherapy, sometimes called talk therapy, is a gentle and supportive process that helps you explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behaviour. It’s a space for reflection, understanding, and change. Rather than focusing on what’s “wrong”, psychotherapy helps you reconnect with yourself and develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body and mind.
When used as part of the Calm Body, Calm Mind approach, psychotherapy can be a powerful way to understand what sits beneath emotional eating, body dissatisfaction, or stress around food. Often, our habits and struggles with weight have deep emotional roots. Together, we explore these patterns in a safe and supportive way, helping you move from self-criticism to self-understanding.
How I Use Psychotherapy in Sessions
Each session is completely tailored to you. I draw on a blend of therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy to help you uncover what drives your thoughts and behaviours around eating and self-care.
Psychotherapy allows you to:
- Understand the emotional reasons behind eating patterns
- Release guilt and shame connected to your body
- Develop self-compassion and confidence
- Learn new ways to respond to stress and emotional triggers
- Create balance between your mind and body
You’ll be gently guided to identify what’s holding you back and supported as you learn to make calm, confident choices that align with your wellbeing goals.
The Benefits of Psychotherapy for Weight Wellness
Psychotherapy is about creating a kind and safe space where you can truly listen to yourself. Many people find that once they begin to understand their emotions and triggers, food starts to lose its emotional hold.
Through our sessions, you will:
- Feel calmer and more in control
- Develop a healthier relationship with food and your body
- Build emotional resilience and confidence
- Reconnect with your inner motivation and self-worth
This approach is not about dieting or restriction. It’s about emotional freedom, learning to nourish your mind and body in harmony.
