Hi, I’m Jacquie
I help those who feel stuck in a cycle of Food noise, Emotional eating, Cravings, Frustration around their weight, Sugar Cravings, Anxiety and Self Esteem.
Many of my clients know exactly what they should be doing. They've read the books, tried the diets and made countless promises to themselves. Yet they find they think about food constantly, turning to eating when stressed and wondering why lasting change feels so difficult.
The truth... this isn't simply willpower.
My works combines psychology, hypnosis and the understanding of your biology and nervous system, to help address the real drivers behind your eating habits.
Together we explore the biological, psychological and emotional factors that influence your relationship with food. So that you can finally feel more in control and at peace around food and eating.
My work supports your struggles with food noise, emotional eating and stress-related eating patterns, including those using GLP-1 medications who want to build long-term resilience and maintain results.
I hold an MSc in Psychology, with research focused on emotional eating, emotion regulation and hypnosis. As a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist I use evidence based approaches to help clients create meaningful and lasting change.
I offer session in person at my clinic in Southwell or online via zoom.
I am a fully qualified and insured registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Mind Coach and Smoking Cessation Therapist.
I am an accredited practitioner with the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council the Complementary and Natural Health Care Council and The British Psychological Society and abide by their strict code of ethics.
Emotional Regulation & Resilience
Many of the behaviours we struggle with are not caused by a lack of knowledge or willpower. We often know exactly what we should be doing, yet in moments of stress, overwhelm, frustration, boredom or anxiety, we find ourselves falling back into familiar patterns.
Whether that means overeating, emotional eating, people-pleasing, self-criticism or avoiding difficult situations, these behaviours are often attempts to manage uncomfortable emotions.
The good news is that emotional regulation is a skill that can be developed.
By understanding how your thoughts, emotions and nervous system interact, you can learn to respond differently to life's challenges, rather than reacting automatically. My approach helps you build emotional resilience, regulate stress more effectively and develop a greater sense of control over your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
When emotional resilience improves, healthy choices become easier, confidence grows and lasting change becomes possible

Food Noise, Cravings & Emotional Eating.
If you've ever wondered why you keep thinking about food, struggle with cravings or find yourself eating when you are stressed or emotional, then you're not alone.
Many people simply believe that they need more will power.
In reality eating behaviours are influenced by a combination of biology, psychology and the nervous system. Your hunger signals, habits, emotions, stress levels and relationship with food all play a role in determining what, when and why you eat.
My approach helps you to understand and address the underlying drivers behind food noise, emotional eating and weight gain, so that healthy choices begin to feel easier and more natural.
By combining hypnosis, psychology-based techniques and metabolic nutrition coaching, I help clients create lasting changes that supports both their physical and emotional wellbeing.
This approach can be particularly beneficial for those struggling with emotional eating, sugar cravings, menopause-related weight changes, metabolic health concerns, pre-diabetic and Type 2 diabetes

Hypnotherapy
As a trained hypnotherapist, I can also help you with a variety of issues that you may be struggling with. Hypnotherapy is proven to help with:
- Smoking cessation
- Stress
- Phobias
- Pain management
- Insomnia
- Sports performance
Through hypnotherapy, you can take the control back of your unwanted thoughts and behaviours so you can restore balance to your life.
Stopping smoking really doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, it can be as simple as a one-session treatment. Most smokers struggle with making the actual decision to stop, they will have a whole host of reasons as to why it’s not the right time to stop, so they will say things like after my holiday I'm going to stop, after Christmas, after my birthday...etc. However even after all these reasons to postpone, they will keep delaying. One of the reasons for this is FEAR.
The physical addiction of nicotine is actually very quick to overcome, it’s the psychological aspect of the habit which is much harder to break. This is why most smokers struggle unless they have got their mind in exactly the right place and no longer fear giving up. This is where hypnotherapy tackles the habit.
Stress
Stressful events are a fact of life, and you may not be able to change your current situation, but you can take steps to manage the impact these events have on you. You can learn to identify what stresses you and how to take care of yourself physically and emotionally when faced with stressful situations.
Hypnotherapy can help to identify the root of the stress or anxiety, whether it’s a situation, physical issue or a past experience and allow you to break free from negative thought patterns and react more positively and confidently to situations that may have previously made you anxious.
