Hypnotherapy for weight loss
Norwest Wellbeing approaches weight loss by changing the automatic patterns behind eating (emotional eating, binge eating and sugar cravings) through one-to-one sessions or the Norwest Method audio program.
Last reviewed 8 August 2026
Hypnotherapy for weight loss at Norwest Wellbeing targets the patterns diets don't touch: emotional eating, binge eating, sugar cravings and the automatic habits that undo willpower. Rather than another eating plan, sessions work on why you eat the way you do, at the unconscious level where those habits run.
Why diets alone often fail
Most people who struggle with weight already know what to eat. The problem is that eating behaviour is largely automatic. Driven by stress, boredom, reward loops and long-practised habits rather than hunger. Willpower can override these patterns briefly, which is why diets work for a while and then stop.
Hypnotherapy addresses the pattern itself. In a state of focused attention, your practitioner helps your mind build different automatic responses. Reaching for food less when stressed, feeling satisfied with appropriate portions, losing interest in the foods that hook you. Combined with strategic psychotherapy, the work is mapped to your specific eating pattern, not a generic script.
What the clinic works with

Your options
- One-to-one sessions. Initial consultation up to 90 minutes ($300, including an audio recording of the trance portion to reinforce the work at home), returning sessions up to 60 minutes ($300). In-clinic at Norwest or via Zoom Australia-wide.
