Yes, when delivered by trained, qualified therapists. It is completely non-surgical and non-invasive, so there is no anaesthetic, no infection risk and no recovery time. You stay awake, aware and in control throughout.

That varies from person to person, and we would rather be honest than promise you a number. The programme aims for gradual, steady loss at the sort of rate health guidance considers sustainable, typically around one to two pounds a week, rather than a rapid drop that does not hold.

The programme is six sessions, including a follow-up appointment. Most clients complete it in six, though as everyone is different, some may need a little more. Your therapy is always tailored to you.

Your initial consultation is free. The full six-session Virtual Gastric Band Programme is £575, a fraction of the cost of surgical alternatives.

No, and we would never claim otherwise. Nothing is fitted and no procedure takes place. What the hypnosis does is work with how full you feel and how you relate to portion size, so smaller amounts feel satisfying. It is a psychological approach, not a surgical one.

Yes. You can attend in person at our Fareham practice in Hampshire, or take part online from home anywhere in the UK.

Many clients come to us after years of yo-yo dieting, feeling it is too late to change. The programme is designed to build a lasting, positive relationship with food, whatever your history. We will be honest at your consultation about whether we think it is the right fit.

No. This is not about banned foods, rigid rules or counting every mouthful. It is about feeling satisfied with less, and making calmer choices feel natural rather than forced.
