Weight Therapy

Do you feel like your weight is affecting your quality of life?

Are you yearning to finally feel comfortable in your own skin?

You are not alone! Many people suffer from feelings of shame, depression and even guilt for not being able to sustain a healthier lifestyle and fit in to ‘instagram worthy’ clothing. These feelings can seep in and effect many parts of our lives. Together with discrimination and constant judgment in everyday life, they engage a vicious circle that makes it even harder to lose weight and to feel comfortable with our body. And then if we throw the pressures we can feel from social media into the mix, it can make feeling healthy and happy seem like an almost impossible dream. But it doesn’t have to be like that for you!

Would you like to finally break the circle?

Psychotherapy of weight and body image issues does not primarily focus on weight loss, but rather on developing a positive feeling towards yourself and living the life you want to live, independent of your body weight.

How can Psychotherapy help you there?

While one goal of psychotherapy is to develop healthier habits concerning nutrition and exercise, another big part is to find out if there are underlying mental health issues that make it hard to change things in your life. Learning to treat yourself kindly and caringly is essential in order to better your self-esteem, your motivation and embrace change. We use methods of self-awareness, cognitive reorganisation and reflexion as well as techniques to help you connect to your emotions and get to know yourself better. And if all that leads to losing some weight as a welcome extra, then that’s great!

Our goal is to support you in living a life according to your values and feeling good in your own body and mind again.
