Obesity

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse affect on your health.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is used to determine how healthy your weight is.

Place your weight and height into the calculator below and then check your BMI result in the chart next to it.

My treatment of obesity will focus on weight loss, improving your health and reducing any symptoms you may be experiencing.

Obesity Treatment

You may be noticing that your clothes are not fitting anymore, or maybe you have been comforting eating during a stressful episode in your life, or perhaps you have recently developed a medical condition related to you weight. Whatever your reason, now is the time for you to take action.

As a Health Psychologist I explore how your physiology, behaviour and social environment influence your weight and your health. Treatment must be designed to fit your unique combination of presenting issues.

Psychology

I will give you psychological and coaching support to help you change any thoughts and behaviours that are at the root of your condition

Healthy Eating

I will create health-specific eating plans, designed around your food tastes and lifestyle, to provide optimal nutrition whilst promoting weight loss

Activity

I will help you become more active in a way that feels manageable, ensuring you are maximising results, and making it enjoyable too.

Motivation

I will help you take things one step at a time as we move towards your goals, and I will teach you to focus on the positive change and progress you are making.

Childhood Obesity

Using special assessment tools for childhood obesity I can help you understand if there is any reason for concern, with your child's weight. Childrens' eating behaviours develop over time, especially during puberty, and this is a normal time for rapid weight gain. However, this comes with new hormones and emotions which can make eating, weight and body image a complicated area for a child.

Working with both you as a parent, and your child, I can help you develop new ways of enjoying healthy eating and activity that is fun and engaging, that will lead to weight loss and improved health.

Doctors

I work closely with Doctors to provide a comprehensive outpatient service and treatment for all aspects of obesity management. I integrate my services to align with the health status and medication profile of patients.

Please contact me to discuss how I may assist your patients, and your practice, with the health behaviour change services I provide.
