Does this sound like you?
Are you tired of diet culture, but scared of what happens if you let go?
That fear makes total sense. But freedom from food rules isn't chaos, it's calm.
You think about food constantly…what you’ve eaten, what you wish you hadn’t, what's coming next.
You eat when you're bored, stressed or tired, and beat yourself up about it afterwards.
You've tried the diets, the plans, the fresh starts, and you're exhausted by the thought of letting yourself down again.
Food swings between being your best friend and your enemy, sometimes within the same day.
You know your rules are flawed, but without them, you don't know what eating even looks like. What do “normal” people do??
The guilt, the shame, the hiding - not just from others, but from yourself - has become part of your daily life, and it feels scary.
Somewhere underneath all of this non-stop noise, you know this isn't really about the food, but don’t know where to start.
I know these feelings well. Which is exactly why I can tell you, hand on heart, that there is a way out. Whenever you're ready, I'm here to help.
"I was struggling with snacking and overeating in the evenings. I felt stuck in a negative loop and despite my best efforts couldn't stop the cycle. Working with Nat helped me understand myself on a deeper level, and I always felt safe in our sessions. Now I'm able to tell real hunger and thirst apart from emotional and sensory needs, and I've got simple techniques in place that make it easier to break the habits. I'm making informed, better choices about what and how I eat."

"She is warm, understanding and genuinely listens, and I never felt judged or pressured… I particularly like that the focus has been on helping me change the way I think about cravings and my relationship with food, rather than simply relying on willpower."

What about weight loss?
We won't talk about food plans or set a weight target, but I also won't pretend you don't care about your weight. Giving up the diet cycle isn't giving up on weight loss, it's giving up on the thing that's kept it out of reach. We'll work on breaking free from the exhausting, unsustainable cycle, and then see what becomes possible once the fighting stops.
I’m Natalie…
I'm a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist (HDip CBH), and my work focuses on helping adults of all genders find a peaceful relationship with food, and with themselves. Having spent decades myself searching for a way to feel "fixed", this work is deeply personal to me.
I'm currently accepting new clients, both online and in-person in Hove. If you’d like to know more about the work that I do, book a free 20-minute consultation and let's see if we're a good fit.
So, what actually is Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy has very little in common with what you've seen on TV. There's no swinging watch, no one making you cluck like a chicken, no waking up wondering what just happened.
Some sessions will involve more CBT to help you understand and break the unhelpful patterns you want to change. Others may involve hypnotherapy, which helps change the automatic responses and habits that run in the background. You'll be in a relaxed, focused state - a bit like being completely absorbed in a good book - where your attention narrows, and your imagination becomes a powerful tool for change. You're aware of everything throughout, and nothing happens without your full engagement.
We’ll always decide on next steps together, because it’s vital that the journey feels right for you every step of the way.
How it works
We have a free consultation
1
A relaxed, no-pressure conversation online lasting around 20 minutes, where you can tell me a bit about you, ask any questions, and get a feel for whether working together feels right. No commitment needed.
We start to understand what's really going on
2
Your first sessions are about building a picture of your history, and the unhelpful behaviours and beliefs that keep your difficult relationship with food going. This involves zero judgement on what or how you eat. It's purely about getting to understand why.
Things begin to shift
3
Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy, we work on changing the thought patterns and responses that have kept you stuck. Many people notice a shift in how they think, feel or behave around food much sooner than they expect.
You build a relationship with food that doesn’t need rules to hold it together
4
Not a diet. A genuine, lasting sense of calm around food that gives you the sense of peace you’re craving.
