Psychotherapist, MSc, MUKCP
Central London, London WC1V
I am a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, registered nutritionist and ex-lawyer that helps individuals to re-build their relationship with food and their body. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder like binge eating disorder or ARFID or just want to get healthy, I can help you to get to the root cause of your issues around food and help you to make lasting changes. I understand how challenging it can be to struggle with your relationship with food. Nobody should have to spend their life worrying about food or their weight, obsessing over food choices, feeling guilty for eating or feeling out of control around food.

London Hypnotherapy - Nick Bullock
Psychotherapist
Central London, London EC1R
Nick is a London-based and online solution-focused hypnotherapist specialising in various mental health concerns, including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, IBS symptoms, confidence issues, and weight management. Solution-focused hypnotherapy works on 'how you want to be' (future-focused), instead of 'how you don't want to be' (problem-focused), helping people to rewire the connections in their brain to create new pathways of thinking and behaviour. This helps to adopt a calmer, more measured approach to life, helps reduce and remove any negative, unwanted symptoms, and helps someone live a happier and healthier life.

I work with anyone struggling with depression or anxiety-related disorders such as OCD, PTSD, social anxiety etc. My specialist training is also in treating mental health issues caused by sleep problems, chronic health issues or stressors in your life (relationship problems, work pressures, big changes in your life). I also work with people who do not know what is wrong or what is causing it. Clients I work with typically want to understand what they are going through, what is causing how they feel, to have a confidential space to explore what it means and to learn practical ways to manage it better or overcome it.

My ideal clients feel like something is “off” in their relationship with food, even without a formal diagnosis — stuck in cycles of bingeing, restricting, guilt and shame. Many have ADHD or grew up with inconsistent, unpredictable caregiving, and food became the one thing that felt controllable or comforting. They’re tired of being told to “just have more willpower” and want to understand the pattern underneath. If that sounds like you, please know you’re not broken, and you don’t have to keep figuring this out alone — I’d love to hear your story.

Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP
Central London, London EC1R
At a time when so much of life is mediated through screens, information and rapid solutions, psychotherapy offers something different: an embodied human relationship in which lasting change can become felt and lived. For over twenty-five years, I have helped individuals and couples look beneath anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship difficulties to the deeper patterns shaping their lives. My relational, depth-oriented approach offers space not only to relieve distress, but to develop greater freedom, resilience and a more authentic way of being.

You’ve been holding a lot lately, and you're not sure where to start. Maybe you are navigating the invisible challenges of living abroad, struggling with the never-ending search for home and belonging. Or perhaps you are processing deep grief, moving through the vulnerable journey of parenthood, or trying to understand parts of yourself that feel conflicted and overwhelmed. In the midst of life's transitions, it can feel like you are quietly carrying a heavy weight alone. You deserve a space where your unique identity and background are truly seen and respected.

You feel different, and you have for a long time. You have carried silence, or shame, or questions that never quite let go. Many of the people I work with are queer, neurodiverse, or moving through change that feels heavier than they let on. Together we step outside the box of just talking. We cannot always think our way out of what hurts, we have to feel it, move with it, and live our way into something new. I work online, wherever you are in the UK. If you are ready for a space that welcomes the whole of you, I offer a free 15 minute consultation. As Tagore wrote, the butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

Life at times can be challenging, people can often feel isolated and stuck in their struggles, confused about what to do to change the things in life that are troubling them. Reaching out can be hard, trusting others can feel even more difficult. It's at these times that therapy can make a difference. I am a sex-positive, kink-knowledgeable psychotherapist and am familiar working with a range of relationship models and gender dynamics. I work with people from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, including individuals from straight, queer, poly and kink communities, sex workers, and people who identify across the gender spectrum.

Weight Loss Counsellors
What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?
Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.

What is the psychological approach to losing weight?
While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counselling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilise behavioural coaching or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.

What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counselling?
Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journalling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioural Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counsellors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilise the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.

Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?
While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counsellor. Prior to surgery, counsellors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counsellors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
