HOW OUR SERVICE WORKS

We offer a unique brand of hypnotherapy and nutrition, specifically designed to boost weight loss. Unlike other clinics, where you see either a nutritionist or a hypnotherapist, Lowri Turner provides both therapies, fully integrated, at every consultation. So, every appointment is a combination of both hypnotherapy and nutrition.

The reason to combine the two together is that we believe that what goes on in your head controls what goes on to your plate. Without addressing eating behaviour, we think weight problems will return so that even if you do lose weight, you may put it back on again.

WHY DO WE USE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS?

We also use high quality professional grade nutritional supplements. While it is preferable to get all your nutrition from food, in the real world, many people are too busy to achieve a truly balanced diet. In our experience, if you want results quickly, professional grade supplements can really boost weight loss.

It is not expected that you will need to stay on these forever, but they are a fundamental part of your initial programme. You will be advised of the cost beforehand and this normally falls in the range of £35 – £70 pounds for a 1 month’s supply.

HOW WILL MY WEIGHT LOSS PLAN WORK?

Your Weight Loss Plan will be structured like this:

INITITAL ASSESSMENT

This is your first appointment and is complimentary. Once you have contacted us by phone or email, we will send you some health forms to fill in and bring with you. This is so we can get a clear picture of your general health, any underlying health concerns and your goals.

As with all appointments, at your initial assessment, you will see Lowri Turner. She will discuss the information you have brought with you and ask some more questions. There will also be plenty of time for you to ask all the questions you need.

You will receive a complementary hypnosis CD created by Lowri Turner to start listening to at home.

Before your next appointment, we will email you to make sure we have understood your goals and discuss your nutritional supplements.


NEXT APPOINTMENT

Your next appointment is when you get started on your programme. You will receive your personal food plan, supplements, shopping list and recipes. These will have been designed to get your weight loss going and also to address underlying health issues that may have contributed to past weight gain. These could include hormonal imbalances (low thyroid, suboptimal testosterone, PCOS), low energy, stress and poor sleep or digestive problems.

Your food plan will be fully discussed, explained and negotiated so it is achievable for you. You will also receive the first of your set of Lowri Turner’s home hypnotherapy for weight loss CDs, so you can start the hypnotherapy process. You will be weighed and measured if that is how you would like us to track your progress.


2nd APPOINTMENT

This is when you really start your one-to-one hypnotherapy. You will begin by discussing how you have got on and Lowri Turner will identify areas where hypnotherapy will be most useful. The food plan can be altered to boost your progress and you will be weighed and measured, if you have decided that is appropriate.

You will then undergo your first full session of hypnotherapy. This may include positive suggestions to slow down eating, reduce snacking between meals and increase motivation to exercise. We will end with confidence and self-esteem boosting.

You will receive your second Lowri Turner hypnotherapy for weight loss CD.


3rd APPOINTMENT

By now, you should have got the hang of your food plan and weight loss should be consistent. Again, your progress will be tracked, possibly by weighing and measuring you. The plan can be further altered to increase progress. You will also receive additional recipes or other information.

You will undergo hypnosis to address ongoing food and weight loss issues. This could include identifying and overcoming triggers for over-eating, such as stress and examining childhood programming around food (‘think of the starving children in Africa’). Changing habits by breaking associations may also be helpful.

You will receive your next Lowri Turner hypnosis for weight loss CD.


4th APPOINTMENT

By this stage, underlying health issues should be much improved. Clients often experience increased energy, improved sleep and digestion, clearer skin and reduced PMS. Keeping on track is the key, as, buoyed up by their own success, people can get over-confident.

You will be weighed and measured, if agreed, and the food plan may be altered. Hypnotherapy concentrates on maintaining focus and motivation.

You will receive your next Lowri Turner hypnosis for weight loss CD.


5TH APPOINTMENT

By now, you will be very comfortable and familiar with the process of hypnosis. This will allow for more advanced behavioural change techniques to be used to ensure that any deep seated issues are addressed to make weight loss permanent. Techniques may include age regression, time line therapy, free association and future pacing visualisation.

 

CONTINUING WEIGHT LOSS.

Many clients who either have a lot of weight to lose, or deep-routed patterns of behaviour around food they want to change, continue to see Lowri Turner for extended periods. For some, it is a case of needing the weekly weigh-in to reach their goal. Others begin to space their appointments further apart to see if they can ‘fly without a net’.

After an initial 4/5 week programme, going for fortnightly, monthly of single top-up appointments are all possible.

OTHER QUESTIONS:

WILL I BE HANDED TO SOMEONE ELSE?

No. Other well-known therapists may employ a team of assistants to whom clients are referred, but Lowri Turner sees all clients personally.

WHAT IF I CAN’T COME WEEKLY?

It is possible to space your appointments more than a week apart, for example if you live a long way away, travel for work or are going on holiday. It is best to try to schedule at least the first three consultations at weekly intervals.

CAN I DO TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS?

Telephone consultations do not form part of a typical 1 – 1 health plan. However, if it is inconvenient for you to attend regular appointments, why not consider a Diet Kit?
