What does a counsellor do?
Counsellors are trained professionals who provide emotional and psychological support to help you navigate life’s challenges. They use techniques to explore the underlying factors that may be affecting your mental health.
In the context of weight management, counsellors can help you understand and change the behaviours that contribute to weight gain, such as overeating, negative self-image, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
How our Aberdeen counselling service can help you
Our online counselling service is designed to provide emotional and psychological support if you’re struggling with your weight. Here’s how our counsellors can assist you:
- Emotional eating management. Many people struggle with eating in response to emotions like anxiety, stress, boredom, or sadness. Our counsellors help you identify emotional triggers and develop healthier coping strategies to manage emotional eating.
- Build confidence and self-esteem. Low self-esteem and body image issues can hinder your weight loss efforts. Our counsellors work with you to build self-confidence, develop a positive mindset, and set achievable goals.
- Stress and anxiety reduction. Stress and anxiety can be significant barriers to weight loss. Our counselling sessions provide a safe space to discuss your worries, manage stress, and learn relaxation techniques that support your overall well-being.
- Motivation and accountability. Staying motivated can be challenging, especially when the journey feels long. Our counsellors offer ongoing support and accountability, helping you stay focused and committed to your weight loss goals.
- Be kind to yourself. We all make mistakes, including in our diet and lifestyle habits. Being able to forgive yourself and not give up when you make small mistakes is important to achieve your long term goals.
