Online Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss & Emotional Eating

Reduce emotional eating, cravings and portion sizes with online hypnotherapy – available anywhere in Australia – including a structured Virtual Gastric Band program for those who want extra support.
 

Why Weight Loss & Emotional Eating Aren’t Just About Willpower
 

If you have struggled with your weight for a long time, you probably already know what you “should” be eating. The challenge usually isn’t knowledge – it is the emotional and subconscious patterns that drive what happens around food.
 

Many people I work with describe:

  • Eating when they are stressed, anxious, bored or lonely

  • Craving certain foods in the evening or after a long day

  • Feeling “out of control” with portions, snacking or takeaways

  • Getting stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting, guilt and starting again on Monday


Traditional diets focus on rules and restriction, which is why results can be so hard to maintain. They rarely address the deeper links between emotions, habits and food.
 

Weight loss hypnotherapy – including the Virtual Gastric Band program – works differently. In a calm, focused state, we work with the subconscious mind to help you:

  • Feel satisfied with smaller portions

  • Reduce emotional and stress-driven eating

  • Change automatic patterns around snacking and cravings

  • Build a calmer, more sustainable relationship with food and your body


All sessions are delivered online via Zoom, so you can work on weight loss and emotional eating from the privacy of your own home, anywhere in Australia.

​How Weight Loss & Emotional Eating Hypnotherapy Works​​

 

Instead of relying on strict diets or willpower alone, we use online hypnotherapy to work with the subconscious patterns behind your eating habits – when, why and how much you eat. The focus is on creating steady, realistic changes that you can actually maintain in everyday life.​

 

  1. Free online Discovery Session
    We start with a free, no-pressure online Discovery Session via Zoom. You can share your history with dieting, weight, emotional eating and any health considerations, and we’ll clarify what you’d like to change. I’ll explain how weight loss and emotional eating hypnotherapy works, including the Virtual Gastric Band option, and we’ll decide together whether it’s the right approach for you.

     

  2. Personalised hypnotherapy sessions
    If you decide to go ahead, we will schedule your online hypnotherapy session/s. In each session, you’ll be guided into a calm, focused state where we work with your subconscious mind to:

    • Reduce emotional and stress-driven eating\

    • Support feeling satisfied with smaller portions

    • Change automatic patterns around snacking, cravings and “trigger” foods

    • Build a kinder, more realistic relationship with food and your body​​
       

  3. Reinforcement and ongoing support
    Change is reinforced over time. Follow-up sessions help you stay on track, handle social events, holidays, stress and setbacks, and keep strengthening the new patterns you are building. You’ll also receive simple tools you can use between sessions to support mindful eating, portion control and emotional balance.​

 

For some clients, this includes following a structured Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy program, delivered over three online appointments. We work as if a virtual band has been fitted, helping your mind and body respond as though your stomach capacity is reduced – without surgery, pain or recovery time.​​​

Benefits You Can Expect​

​​Every person and body is different, but many clients notice a range of benefits as we work on weight loss and emotional eating with online hypnotherapy, including:

  • Less emotional and stress-driven eating
    Finding it easier to avoid turning to food automatically when you feel stressed, tired, overwhelmed, bored or lonely.

     

  • Feeling satisfied with smaller portions
    Eating more slowly and mindfully, noticing fullness sooner and feeling more comfortable leaving food on the plate.

     

  • Fewer cravings and “all-or-nothing” cycles
    Reduced intensity of cravings for particular foods, and less swinging between strict dieting and overeating or “blowouts”.

     

  • A calmer relationship with food
    Less guilt, shame and self-criticism around eating, and more sense of choice and control rather than “I can’t stop myself”.

     

  • More steady, sustainable weight-loss habits
    Building practical changes you can maintain in everyday life – at home, at work and in social situations – instead of short-term fixes.

     

  • Improved confidence and self-respect
    Feeling better about the way you are caring for your body, and more confident that you can follow through on decisions you make for your health.

     

  • Support for long-term change, not quick fixes
    Using the Virtual Gastric Band program (three online appointments) and other hypnotherapy tools to support gradual, realistic progress over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can hypnotherapy really help with weight loss and emotional eating?
A: For many people, yes. Weight loss hypnotherapy focuses on the emotional and subconscious patterns that drive when, why and how much you eat. Instead of relying only on strict diets or willpower, we work on reducing emotional and stress-driven eating, changing automatic habits around snacking and portion size, and building a calmer relationship with food. This can make it easier to follow through on practical changes and support steady, realistic weight loss over time.

Q: What is Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy?
A: Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy is a non-surgical approach that uses the power of the mind to mimic some of the effects of a physical gastric band. Over three online appointments, we work as if a virtual band has been fitted, helping your mind and body respond as though your stomach capacity is reduced. The aim is to feel fuller sooner, reduce overeating and support healthier portion sizes – without surgery, pain, medication or recovery time.

Q: Do I have to do the Virtual Gastric Band program to work with you on weight loss?
A: No. The Virtual Gastric Band program is one option, but not the only one. Some clients benefit from VGB; others prefer a more general weight loss and emotional eating hypnotherapy approach that focuses on stress, habits, cravings and body image without using the band framework. In your free Discovery Session, we will talk through your goals, history and any medical considerations and decide together what approach is most appropriate.

Q: Will I still need to think about what I eat, or does hypnotherapy do it all?

A: Hypnotherapy is not a magic fix and it does not replace basic healthy eating. Think of it as a way to change the internal “settings” that make it hard to stick to the choices you want to make. You will still need to make sensible decisions about food and activity, but it often feels more achievable and less like a constant battle. We focus on supporting you to follow through on realistic habits rather than perfect diets.

Q: How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need for weight loss?

A: This varies from person to person. The Virtual Gastric Band program is built around three online appointments, which many people find gives a solid foundation. Some clients choose to add follow-up sessions to support emotional eating, stress, confidence or other related issues. For more general weight loss and eating work (without VGB), we will agree a plan in your Discovery Session – often starting with a short block of sessions and reviewing progress as we go.

Q: Is weight loss hypnotherapy safe, and do I need medical clearance?

A: Hypnotherapy is generally considered safe for most people, but it is not a medical treatment and it does not replace advice from your GP or specialist. If you have significant medical conditions, a history of eating disorders, or are considering surgery, I recommend you discuss weight loss plans with your doctor. We will always work within ethical boundaries and, if needed, I may suggest you seek medical or psychological input alongside hypnotherapy.

Q: Can I do weight loss hypnotherapy online from anywhere in Australia?

A: Yes. All sessions are delivered online via Zoom, so you can work with me on weight loss and emotional eating from anywhere in Australia – whether you are in Perth, another city, or a regional or remote area. Many clients appreciate being able to talk about food, weight and body image from the privacy of their own home. All you need is a quiet space, a stable internet connection and a device with a camera.
