A practical and compassionate CPD with Andy Workman, exploring weight management through mindset, behaviour change, emotional patterns, motivation, comfort eating, client confidence and subconscious approaches. Includes a supporting booklet with a range of scripts, practical approaches, and guidance to help you structure your work with weight management clients, including the initial consultation and ongoing sessions.

Weight management continues to be one of the most common areas where clients seek support from hypnotherapists. Many clients already know what they would like to change yet still find themselves caught in familiar patterns around comfort eating, cravings, motivation, emotional eating, guilt, self-sabotage, all-or-nothing thinking and repeated cycles of “starting again”.

This CPD with Andy Workman offers a practical, compassionate and client-centred approach to helping clients explore the mindset, habits, emotions and behavioural patterns that may influence their relationship with food, movement, motivation and change.

Rather than focusing on shame, strict dieting or one-size-fits-all advice, this workshop helps practitioners think more clearly about what may be happening beneath the surface for weight management clients. It explores how stress, emotion, expectation, habit, learned behaviour and primitive brain responses can all play a part in the way clients eat, move, think, respond and make choices.

Drawing on Andy’s well-known Cavemen and Polar Bears approach, this CPD brings together clear explanation, practical tools and subconscious approaches that can be adapted to meet the needs of different clients. It is designed to help practitioners feel more confident when working with weight management clients, especially when progress feels stuck, motivation fluctuates, or clients appear to know what they “should” do but struggle to put it into practice consistently.

The course is accompanied by a supporting booklet containing a range of scripts and approaches, designed to offer different ways of working with the different needs you may find in individual clients.

During this CPD, you will explore:

• Why weight management work can feel difficult when clients already know what they would like to change.

• How stress, emotion and primitive brain responses can influence eating behaviour.

• Comfort eating, reward patterns, guilt, expectation and learned associations.

• Why BMI and weight alone do not tell the full story.

• How to talk about scales, setbacks and progress in a more constructive and helpful way.

• How to support clients with motivation, self-awareness and realistic behaviour change.

• The role of movement, journalling, portion awareness and natural eating.

• How to discuss food, choice and personal responsibility without shame or judgement.

• How hypnosis, subconscious approaches and therapeutic language can support confidence, control and sustainable change.

• How to structure your work with weight management clients, including the initial consultation and ongoing sessions.

• How to adapt your work to meet the needs of different individual clients.

Who is this CPD for?

This workshop is suitable for hypnotherapists, practitioners and students who would like a broader, more flexible and practical way of supporting weight management clients.
