What patients say

Harriet M.
It has been an incredibly supportive intervention, I have learnt so much from Joel and am so grateful. I have started to use the tools in my day to day life and they have made such a positive difference to how I manage my emotional eating, leading to a far more sustainable approach to weight management. I am so happy and far more relaxed and confident.
Nadia K.
I feel like I have more freedom. I am more confident. I have learned new skills that I can use to support my weight loss. The course is very non judgemental which I find really encouraging. I have tried many different diets over the years and this time I feel very different. I know I'm going to succeed. It's not a quick fix solution but it is a lifelong toolbox that I can dip in and out of whenever I need it. Not a diet at all. It's a change of mental attitude from a position of strength not weakness.
Henry P.
I've really enjoyed it, I think the DBT element is so important and wish everyone who was receiving medication could also get this support to address the psychological reasons behind their weight.
Maya S.
The first 12 weeks have been excellent. So very informative and insightful. Eimear has been fantastic, so supportive and knowledgeable. Explains everything so well and checks for understanding. I’ve had so many positive changes, energy levels better, bending and moving much better and very successful in weight loss too. There hasn’t really been any challenges that I’ve come across that I wasn’t able to resolve from the learnings of the course.
Eleanor R.
I'm learning to cope with my feelings better so as not to turn to food and I can now see how weight loss is so much more than food.
