Food addiction hypnotherapy
For eating that has stopped being about hunger
The particular cruelty of this one is that you cannot abstain. Every other dependency at least permits the option of removing the substance; here you have to keep engaging with it several times a day, which makes willpower an unusually poor tool for the job.
Food addiction hypnotherapy works on the emotional and biological drivers rather than on discipline. The eating is doing something — soothing, numbing, rewarding, filling a gap — and until that function is addressed, restriction tends to produce the binge rather than prevent it. Stuart uses clinical hypnotherapy with NLP, EMDR and PSY-Tap to change the response at its root.
Sessions are private and one-to-one at 1 Harley Street or online. Stuart is an Advanced Weight Control and Hypnotic Banding Therapist.

How food addiction hypnotherapy works
Free Consultation Call
We start with a free 30-minute phone call to understand what is driving your relationship with food and confirm whether this approach is the right fit for you.
Your Session
Once we have confirmed it is the right fit, you book your first session at a time that works for you — at 1 Harley Street or online. Sessions are entirely one-to-one. Stuart works through the hypnotherapy process with you, addressing the patterns behind the eating rather than policing it.
Start Trusting Yourself Around Food
Across your sessions the compulsion to keep going past full tends to settle, and the emotional trigger stops leading straight to the kitchen. Clients describe the relief of eating without an argument attached. Ongoing support and aftercare are included.

Client stories
What clients say
I was having weekly sessions with Stuart for 5 months. I have suffered with a substance addiction for many years and was in a pretty low place when I found Stuart. My using was getting out of hand and I knew I needed professional help. The weekly sessions have helped me tremendously — I now feel like I have a toolkit for when things get tough. Stuart has taught me a new way of thinking and dealing with life. I found the sessions to be very insightful. Stuart is very relatable and very easy to talk to. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again for all your support.
— Paul
I began working with Stuart during a time when my impulse control felt overwhelming and, at times, unmanageable. Having tried several other therapists first, it was clear that Stuart's approach was both thoughtful and tailored—grounded in traditional therapeutic techniques but enhanced with hypnotherapy in a way that felt natural rather than experimental. What stood out most was his ability to create a space that felt safe without being passive. He didn't just listen; he helped me understand the underlying patterns driving my behaviour. Over time, I noticed real, measurable changes—not just in my behaviour, but in how I processed urges and emotions. This wasn't a quick fix, and Stuart never pretended it would be. But his consistency, skill, and ability to blend different methods made a lasting difference. I now feel far more in control of my decisions. I would strongly recommend Stuart to anyone struggling with impulse-related challenges, especially if you're open to a more integrative approach that goes beyond standard talk therapy.
— Tom
I decided I needed to seek help after I accepted that I had a problem with gambling. I went through all the usual measures like banning myself online but I always managed to find a way or a reason to gamble. I had heard of hypnotherapy and thought this might be the best approach. The money I invested has saved me thousands. I have learnt that it is never too late to make a positive change and couldn't be happier with my life. I could not recommend and thank Stuart enough — he has genuinely transformed my life!
— Harry
I have had several sessions with Stuart and found him to be extremely skilled in supporting me to move forward after several traumatic experiences that have impacted my day-to-day life. I had not experienced hypnosis before, but it had a dual effect of helping me relax and rewiring years of unhelpful emotional responses that led me to choose dysfunctional coping strategies, mainly alcohol. The sessions with Stuart have been the most impactful, following years of trying different counsellors and psychotherapists. I would highly recommend him and personally will continue to work with him when I need support.
— Louise
Life after
Life when eating is not an argument you have with yourself
Clients describe the mental quiet first. The constant negotiation — what, when, how much, whether that counts — stops running in the background.
- Stopping when you have had enough, without deciding to
- A difficult evening ending without the kitchen
- Eating in front of people without self-consciousness
- No secret wrappers to deal with
- Not starting again properly every Monday
- Enjoying a meal without accounting for it afterwards
Questions
Common questions about food addiction hypnotherapy
Can you really be addicted to something you have to consume?
Highly palatable products engage the same reward pathways as other dependencies, and the compulsive loop behaves the same way. What makes it harder is that abstinence is not available, which is exactly why food addiction hypnotherapy works on the driver rather than on restriction.
Is this a diet?
No. You will not be given a meal plan or a list of forbidden things. Food addiction hypnotherapy addresses why the eating is happening, on the basis that restriction imposed on an unaddressed driver typically produces the binge it was meant to prevent.
What is hypnotic banding?
It is a hypnotherapeutic technique that works with your perception of fullness and portion satisfaction. Stuart holds an advanced qualification in it and will explain on the call whether it has a place in your food addiction hypnotherapy programme.
How many sessions does this usually take?
It depends how long the pattern has been established and what emotional drivers sit underneath, so Stuart gives you a realistic picture on the free call. Food addiction hypnotherapy runs across a series of sessions with aftercare included.
I have already spent a fortune on diets. Why pay again?
Because diets address the behaviour and leave the driver in place, which is generally why they need repeating. The fee covers the full engagement: the free consultation, the food addiction hypnotherapy programme, and the continued support afterwards.
