Treatment For Bulimia or Anorexia Nervosa Eating Disorders
On this page Tim explains how it all works...
IMPORTANT NOTE:
My technique is not suited to everyone so...

Corrective treatment is undertaken over just one or two days with the anticipated goal of a complete correction of the problem by the time we are finished working.
If you've had psychiatric care or CBT elsewhere without success that's no barrier to your being successful. I enjoy correcting eating disorders that others have failed with.
If you have either bulimia nervosa or anorexia or perhaps a similar disordered eating pattern this is the most important page on this website since I explain the basis of my work. (You may wish to bookmark this page for future reference)
I specialise in providing escape from both Bulimia Nervosa as well as Anorexia Nervosa. I work on both because they have some distinct similarities indeed often bulimics tell me that they have previously suffered from anorexia. I define Bulimia Nervosa as the condition in which someone recurrently binge eats and then purges by any one of a variety of means. I also sometimes work on conditions whereby only the binge side occurs but not always so please enquire.
I am aware that specialist help is hard to find and because many of my clients need to travel considerable distances to see me, the intensive one or two day approach I use (of indeterminate length) is by far the most practical way to get specialist help of this type. I guarantee that I will only take you on as a client if my expectation is that I can help you escape your particular disorder whether it be bulimia or anorexia during the course of the program. Although my methods have worked spectacularly well for others I cannot absolutely guarantee success for everyone. (I will happily answer your questions and am more than happy to correspond by email to handle initial enquiries but I never book sessions solely on that basis because I need to speak to all clients before accepting them).
All compulsions and habits have a cause and must be coming from somewhere. If you are not able to consciously fix the problem then the problem is subconscious in nature and corrective analysis and reprogramming is the ONLY effective route to success. I do not teach coping strategies because it is far better to remove the problems altogether wherever possible. I undertake this using a mixture of specialist hypnosis, hypnoanalysis, corrective suggestion, neuro-linguistic techniques and some other techniques developed especially for the purpose.
The reason that you should consider using hypnosis as either a bulimia treatment or a method of correcting anorexia is because when used in the correct way it can provide direct access to the root causes in a way absolutely nothing else can. This means that it's possible to address those root causes to correct it completely, in effect providing a permanent "cure". (Please note: cure is a misleading term since eating disorders are not an illness). Eating disorders occur because of a unique set of circumstances which some people are unlucky enough to encounter. These set up what could be regarded as rogue programs which run below the level of consciousness.
The Elman inspired hypnoanalytical techniques I routinely use have proven very successful. Elman's analytical strategies using hypnosis have previously been described as the "Jewel in the crown" of hypnotherapy since with a cooperative client these methods can often yield information about the EXACT origins of any problem in a matter of minutes.
This crucial information would be pretty much impossible to access in any other way and understanding the cause can be particularly useful with regard to fully correcting either bulimia nervosa or anorexia type eating disorders.
Without doubt the Elman analytical techniques are superior to any others we know of at present but occasionally other means have to be used in determining the best course of treatment. Where I have to use other methods the ability of the subconscious to rapidly change and adapt as it incorporates new information can also be used to provide an effective and rapid treatment. Since all clients are different, I have to be adaptive in my approach. This means that each client gets completely bespoke assistance employing those methods I know from experience to be most effective.
Both anorexia and bulimia are often regarded as being a medical problem. - They're not, although it's well known that the processes of starvation or purging can and sometimes does create medical problems.
Bulimia and anorexia are behavioural problems which usually (but not always) have an emotional cause - Fact - No behaviour is fixed. You change all the time in one way or another and you have been changing all your life. It is your ability to change which makes escape from eating disorders possible. We are all capable of change and I have no doubt whatsoever that ALL such problems at least have the potential to be resolved.
CBT is the favoured approach of the medical professionals but when I see a documentary in which a woman has had 2 years of intensive cognitive behavioural therapy and is still struggling because the underlying issues have never been either identified or even addressed then I have to ask why on Earth CBT is ever used. Cognitive strategies cannot hope to make sense of problems which are not cognitive in nature and in any case those with eating disorders do not want coping strategies. What they want is to be free of their eating disorder completely and hypnotic interventions do at least make this possible. In my opinion, to attempt anything other than a complete correction would be a disservice to any client.
A complete correction is my goal for everyone I see. If I agree to work with you then I will take you on with the expectation that your bulimia or anorexia will be corrected during your treatment session. I will expect you to be successful but despite being an expert in hypnosis, an expert in rapid methods of hypnoanalysis and also specialising in eating disorders and having developed specialist techniques to correct the same, even I can't offer an absolute guarantee and so it's important for you to realise that when you book with me. That said, I'd happily welcome any outside body to objectively compare the results of my work with those of anyone else in the UK with the expectation that my results would be better.
Very few people seem to understand exactly what processes create either bulimia or anorexia but they are generally not particularly complex although they can seem rather peculiar. Once they are understood the same mechanisms which created them can be made use of to remove them. This simple fact is the key to the methods I use. The transitions are generally so smooth that usually a client can't even grasp how they were released from their eating disorder. They are just glad that they have been.
Who can be helped?
I can only help those who genuinely want to be helped. My treatment requires full cooperation and a genuine motivation and desire to be set free. I do not accept all clients. I will only take you on after a discussion about the nature of the problem. Being honest with me is essential from the outset.
How long does it take?
As you can see I do my work in just one long session to correct either anorexia or bulimia. For this reason I see only one client per day with the duration of that day being open ended and down to my judgement. A days work is likely to be on the order of 4 to 6 hours but may be longer if I believe for any reason that further corrective work is required.
One last point...
I know that it's natural for people who have struggled for a long time with a problem to have doubts that it can be quickly and reliably be corrected but indeed they can. I wanted to demonstrate just how reliable hypnosis can be so I left my comfort zone to remove a severe phobia on local radio (see testimonials page).
I corrected this phobia which had lasted for around 10 years in just 22 minutes on a LIVE broadcast. More I corrected another phobia for a filmed documentary. I can do this only because I am an expert in hypnosis and also because wherever possible I use very reliable methods.
That's not to say I can offer a cast iron guarantee to any would be client because I can't and no truly professional therapist would but if you do want to be rid of either an anorexia or bulimia type eating disorder then I do believe you should contact me.
