Hypnosis alongside weight-loss injections
If you’ve been prescribed a weight-loss injection, your appetite may be lower while you’re taking it, and eating less can feel easier.
What they don’t do is change the habits underneath: the emotional eating, the evening grazing, the way you eat when you’re stressed. Research has found that many people regain a large part of the weight after they stop treatment. The time to build new habits is while the medicine is making it easier.
Your treatment comes first
Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for your medication or your prescriber’s advice. Never change, pause or stop a prescribed medicine without talking to them. If you’re struggling to eat enough, feeling unwell or losing weight faster than expected, contact your prescriber or GP. If eating feels anxious or out of control, contact your GP or Beat, the UK eating disorder charity, on 0808 801 0677.
How hypnotherapy can help
- Spotting the eating habits that the injection is quietening, so you can change them for good
- Working on emotional eating, which appetite medicines don’t address
- Learning to recognise real hunger and fullness again
- Building routines around food that you can keep after treatment
- Preparing for coming off the medicine, when appetite often returns
How I work with it
We look at what your eating was like before you started, what has changed and what hasn’t. In hypnosis I help you rehearse the habits you want to keep, so they feel natural by the time your treatment ends. Many clients find it helps them feel more confident about life after the injections.

Common questions
Can hypnosis replace weight-loss injections?
No. They work in completely different ways. Hypnotherapy works on habits, attention and how you feel about food. It can support your treatment, not replace it.
When is the best time to start?
Any time, but starting while you’re still on treatment gives you time to practise new habits while your appetite is lower.
I have already stopped and my appetite is back. Can you help?
Yes. This is a common time for people to get in touch. We work on the habits and triggers that are coming back, one at a time.
