The treatment is conducted using carefully chosen elements of a number of proven disciplines / therapies including Hypnotherapy, CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), guided imagery and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), each being used to powerfully underpin the other.

During the sessions we use hypnotherapy and guided imagery to address the client's cognitive awareness, continually suggesting that their stomach is shrinking in size, until eventually we mentally take the person through the surgical process of having a gastric band fitted and the different sensations they would normally expect to feel after surgery. After the "gastric band" session, the client perceives their stomach as being reduced to the size of a golf ball, which equates to the size of the pouch created during an actual gastric band operation, and so they feel as if they are only able to eat very small portions of food before their stomach feels full.

A considerable amount of therapy time is also dedicated to using CBT to demonstrate exactly how the mind works with regard to food and eating, and to ultimately change a person's relationship with food, and possibly alcohol, so that weight loss becomes an easy and natural process.
