'It was a unique, very personal experience. I am normally a sceptic about these things but it was definitely worth it.'

Alison Wytchwood, Yorkshire Evening Press, July 21, 2007

'Another fab week, just returned from a competition with a first! It has just transformed my life. Thank you so very much.'

Heather Wilkinson, show jumper, Lancashire.

'I have not touched a cigarette since I saw you, and it feels so good to be free of them. I truly believe that I look better, and feel so much fitter. I have really felt a huge difference in that respect.

Thanks so much for what you have done for me.'

Geraldine Williams, York

'Stopping smoking with Sophie's help was so easy compared to all the other ways I'd tried. From the day of the hypnotherapy session, I knew that I no longer wanted to smoke.'

Trevor Holmes, Wakefield

'Thank you for all your help and support. For someone who on that first day believed it would never work, it has been one of the best decisions of my life... What you have given me is the tools to use when things seem to be getting on top of me. I still use the self hypnosis nearly every day.'

David Nevison, York

'I sometimes struggled to just 'sit down and do it' with some aspects of my work. After my first session with Sophie, we managed to get straight to the cause and I could feel the benefits almost instantly!'

David Lawrie, music producer, York

'We've got rid of a major stumbling block, so thank you very much! I'm really, really enjoying it, and on Sunday, my final set I realised as we came back to the dock, I'd just been totally in the zone, which is exactly, above all, what I wanted to achieve.'

Paul Marshall, water skier, York.

You Can Have the Weight and Shape You Want

Do you feel trapped in a cycle of endless thinking about what foods you are 'allowed' to eat, or calorie intake, or pounds lost and pounds gained?

If so, then you'll know that this is a way to make yourself very unhappy.

And life should be about so much more than that!

Why 'diet thinking' doesn't work:

If I said to you: 'Try your best not to think about the pink elephant,' what are you seeing in your mind's eye, right now? An image of a pink elephant, by any chance?

And, in the same way, if we read the latest diet book, or sign-up for some diet or eating plan or weight loss support group, what happens? Well, we get a list of foods we're allowed to eat and a list of foods we're forbidden to eat; or maybe a list of foods we can eat only in certain combinations.

What's more, we get a whole new identity as someone who is trying to lose weight (the word 'trying' here implies - hypnotically - that we're bound to fail); or 'watching' our weight ( meaning that we must keep our eye on it at all times and, if we stop watching for even a few moments we're going to balloon in size almost immediately...

Is it any wonder that we begin to feel exhausted and, quite frankly, either bored or incredibly anxious about this all-consuming project?

You Can Have the Weight and Shape You Want

My approach to weight loss works differently. It works from the inside out. It recognises that the most important element in being the best you can be is freedom - freedom from endlessly thinking about food or obsessing about pounds or kilos.

My You Can Have the Weight and Shape You Want programme is about getting back in touch with who you are on the inside: the real you. It's about helping you to let go of any emotional associations you may have around food - perhaps hurtful memories or the way that you've learned to talk to yourself over the years or simply habits you've developed that may be holding you back from being the person you really want to be.

This approach will enable so many other things in your life to begin to feel so much more important. You will feel calm, more energised, healthier and more motivated. You'll be free to really enjoy your body and your life. You'll find that the calories and pounds will look after themselves.

Why not call and talk to me about your particular situation and about how my special approach can help you to feel really good about yourself?
