Weight Loss Psychology

Psychological services provide the process to work at modifying those things in our lives we feel need changing. For many of us weight loss is an issue we are unable to resolve no matter how hard we try.

At Rockingham Psychology, Katia has extensive experience working with people who have weight loss issues. Completing workshops created by the well known Dr Blair West, Katia adapts the unique theory of his work.

The most practical elements of the clinical treatment of obesity is with the strong focus on two emerging problem areas - 'behavioural fatigue' and ‘weight loss sabotage’ by self and others. 

Many people often use their weight as a form of protection and quite often weight loss is disrupted if there are underlying issues that are not addressed and resolved.

With her extensive experience in also treating stress, anxiety and other psychological problems , Katia  helps identify the common forms of sabotage, by self and others, and treats these problems very specifically.

Katia shifts the therapeutic focus from a 'willpower driven' focal point on weight loss to a ‘psychologically sophisticated’ focus on long term lifestyle change.

Strategies for dealing with motivation and exercise are also incorporated to successfully lose weight and obtain that lifestyle change you are looking for.
