Cognitive Coaching - Getting the Results You Want
Dr Susan Murray has specific expertise in stress management
and the emotional aspects of disordered eating. Appointments can be in Inverurie or Aberdeen and we also offer online counselling.
Reaching and staying at the weight you want to be is not just about what goes in your mouth.... it's about what goes on in your head! CBT coaching helps you identify and overcome the mental and emotional barriers that get in the way of you reaching your goals and helps you form new beliefs and behaviours that work with you and for you so that you can reach your happy weight. Using the power of Positive Psychology I'm here to help you stay motivated until you get to where you want to be - and will support you to keep it off too.
Individuals who experience disordered eating or diagnosed eating disorders such as Bullemia Nervosa (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) are usually using their unhelpful and unhealthy eating patterns to deal with difficult emotions, anxieties and fears in his/her life. I can provide you with a safe place of understanding and non-judgement where together we can help you understand and overcome your difficulties with food and eating.
Want to lose weight... for good?
If you've worked out that all diets work if you stick to them... but you've struggled to stick to one long enough to get to the weight you want to be.... or you've got to the weight you wanted to be but haven't been able to make the long-term changes needed to keep the weight off - you're NOT alone!
Dieting is easy but changing your long-term behaviour or your emotional mindset is more of a challenge.
I can help you make the changes you want so that you can lose weight with your choice of weight loss diet - and keep it off for good this time.
I have over 15 years experience and expert qualifications in the field of weight management PLUS I have the added insight of having been there myself. Having lost 3 and a half stone myself many years ago I know first hand just how upsetting and frustrating it can be to struggle with your weight.... but also how fantastic it is when you get it under control!
Disordered or Emotional Eating
When you know you have developed unhealthy eating patterns and feel compulsively driven to use food to help you deal with emotions it can feel lonely, isolating, depressing and time-consuming.
Individuals with eating disorders generally experience low self-esteem, shame, denial and secrecy and this often leads to depression, obsessive compulsive tendencies and occasionally psychotic symptoms and delusions.
Talking to someone who can help you understand why these difficulties have developed and how you can overcome them by developing new strategies for coping is the key to recovery. Support is available in groups or in one to one sessions depending on which option we agree together is best for you.
