Healthy Habits
How to Build a Healthier Relationship With Food
A healthier relationship with food is less about rules and more about how you respond when the rules are broken.
Behaviour Change
How Mindless Eating Develops
Most overeating is not decided. It is defaulted into, one repeated cue at a time.
Weight Management
Why Diets Often Fail to Change Eating Habits
Knowing what to eat and doing it under pressure are different skills. Most diets only teach the first.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis vs Meditation: What Is the Difference?
They look similar from the outside and feel similar from the inside. The difference is what the focused state is being used for.
Cravings
Understanding Food Cravings and Habit Loops
A craving is a prediction, not a need. Understanding what triggers it changes what you can do about it.
Stress & Eating
Why Do We Eat When We Are Stressed?
Stress eating is not weakness. It is a predictable interaction between the stress response, the reward system, and a cue you have practised hundreds of times.
Emotional Eating

How this is written
Editorial standards for this section
- No invented statistics. Where research is characterised, it is described in general terms rather than dressed up with numbers that cannot be traced to a specific source.
- No fabricated case studies. Patterns described are composites of the kind of thing people commonly report, and are never presented as particular clients.
- No outcome promises. Articles describe mechanisms and approaches. They do not promise weight loss, timeframes or results.
- Clear boundaries. Where something is a matter for a doctor, dietitian or clinical service, the article says so rather than implying hypnotherapy covers it.
- Written to be useful alone. Each piece should be worth reading even if you never contact this practice.
