What can we help with?

If appropriate, the Practitioner Psychologist in the team may offer 1:1 or group psychological therapies. This can help to support several things such as-

• Managing difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours around food, weight, and physical activity
• Improving motivation for creating positive changes for health and well-being
• Changing the relationship with food, exercise, and weight
• Dealing with difficult food urges
• Improving self-esteem, confidence, and body image

Managing stress and emotional distress is important as can often be a core reason behind unhelpful eating. It is also understood that changing behaviour and mindset is crucial for sustainable weight loss.
