Weight Management

“WeightMatters was more than just weight loss; it gave me motivation, education, and accountability. The team is professional, easygoing, and completely confidential. I highly recommend their 5-star service to anyone wanting to achieve their ideal weight.”

Gary Barlow, Singer & Songwriter, ‘Take That’

“My life has improved significantly since working with WeightMatters. I’ve gained confidence and learned to understand my triggers, which has helped me change my relationship with food. Thank you!”

Sarah

“James has been instrumental in helping me transform my relationship with food. I’ve gone from using it as a way to control fear to understanding how my eating habits are connected to emotions and past experiences. He’s more than just a food therapist-he truly cares about helping individuals adopt a positive approach to life.”

Thomas

“After years of failed diets, I realised I needed a different approach. WeightMatters helped me understand the root causes of my eating behaviours and guided me through practical steps to regain control. The therapy sessions and workshops have been invaluable, and I now feel positive changes in myself. The team is professional, compassionate, and truly supportive in navigating this journey with me.”

Amy

“I spent years dieting and believing that my lack of willpower was the issue. After trying everything, I realised the need to focus on the deeper causes of my weight problems and body image issues. Working with James in therapy has been both challenging and transformative. Sessions have given me new insights and tools to understand myself better, and my eating habits are now more controlled. With continued support from James and Sue, I’m confident I’ll reach my goals.”

Christina

“I came to WeightMatters feeling down, depressed, and the heaviest I’d ever been. Over the course of 12 sessions with Helena and six with Sue, I not only lost over 20kg but also learned to understand and manage my relationship with food. Helena helped me address my stress triggers, while Sue made my new eating habits simple and enjoyable. I now feel healthier, calmer, and happier, with friends saying I look 10 years younger!”

Oli

“After years of struggling with overeating and failed diets, I thought gastric surgery was my only option. But after working with James at WeightMatters, everything changed. Over 10 months, my unhealthy relationship with food was transformed as we uncovered the root causes. The compulsion to binge disappeared, and dieting has become easy, with weight falling off. I’m truly grateful to James and his team for helping me find peace with food.”

Barnaby

“WeightMatters has completely transformed my life after 25 years of battling an eating disorder and obesity. Through the Reframe programme, I learned that my relationship with food was more than overindulgence, and I finally faced difficult emotions. Now, I enjoy meals with my family and feel re-educated about health and nutrition. My weight loss journey has just begun, but I’m confident I have the tools to succeed. I’m so grateful for the team that gave me back my life.”

Lucretia

“I’ve struggled with compulsive overeating since my teens, and after trying many approaches, I finally found the breakthrough I needed with WeightMatters. During two intensive sessions with James, I gained key insights into both the psychological and physical aspects of my eating behaviours. The practical tools he provided have already helped me make lasting changes. I feel confident and healthier since the sessions. Booking the Breakthrough Half Days was the best decision I’ve made.”

Abigail

“I reached out to WeightMatters last year, and for the first time, I felt hope in overcoming my destructive relationship with food. With the option for online sessions, I was able to access support from afar. Through our work together, I gained confidence around food and started confronting deeper issues that were affecting my eating disorder. The environment was incredibly supportive, and I would highly recommend WeightMatters to anyone struggling with food or body image.”

Rachel

“I’m a 52-year-old woman who has struggled with weight all my life. Despite trying every diet, slimming club, and even gastric balloon surgery, I always regained the weight. As a last resort, I turned to therapy, though I was sceptical. Working with James at Weightmatters changed everything. Together, we untangled years of misguided beliefs and diet culture. Therapy has given me the tools and freedom to live a happy, healthy life. I can’t recommend James enough – he helped me break free from binge eating and finally maintain my weight loss.”

Angela

“I feel like I have struggled with my weight for my entire life and I got to the point where I didn’t know if I could ever change it. It took working with the WeightMatters team for me to realise that my problems with weight had nothing to do with food. With their support, I am finally losing weight, finding perspective and feeling better about myself. The best part is that this time I know the weight loss is permanent.”

Susan

“I have been consumed for years by my weight, the scales, and being trapped in an endless cycle of either eating nothing or eating everything. For the first time, I felt properly listened to and properly understood. Karen is an excellent listener and she gives you the time and space to really work through feelings. For me, a lot of painful memories that had been packed away were handled in a very caring way. I could not recommend Karen enough and she really did help on setting me on a path to peace.”

Elaine

“The therapy I’ve received through HealthMatters has been life-changing. My therapist has helped me recognize thought patterns I wasn’t aware of, leading to real, positive changes. After 38 years of struggling with diet culture, disordered eating, and poor body image, I finally feel optimistic about healing my relationship with food and my body, and achieving a healthy weight-without ever dieting again.”

Laura

“I’ve been seeing my counsellor, Alison for two years, and she has truly changed my life. While weight loss was my initial focus, Alison helped me realise it’s about self-love and confidence. When I started, I had no job, no friends, and low confidence. Now, I have a job I love, friends, and I’m even changing careers. I feel confident, happy, and free to be myself. Alison is amazing, and the whole team has been incredibly kind.”

Sarah

“The last five years have been a nightmare for my mental health, and I knew I needed professional help. I found HealthMatters online, and I’m so glad I did. My therapist Sophie helped me see how much I was blaming myself and hiding my feelings. She has been a true godsend. I can’t recommend HealthMatters enough – they’ve been amazing. If you need mental health support, this is the place to go.”

Jayne

“I feel with Christine’s guidance I have kicked the can a bit further down the road. Somehow or other at some point during the sessions I had some listening ears on and I feel I have come away with some tools which will help me with my emotional eating. I am by no means ‘fixed’ but definitely feel a lot more empowered and able to deal with my eating issues, which I appreciate very much. I’m feeling hopeful and less in the thrall of food, which is what I wanted at the outset of these sessions. Many thanks Christine.”

Carol

“I was pretty apprehensive about starting therapy sessions and was unsure what I really wanted to achieve by undertaking them. After a couple of sessions Billy helped me to start unpacking the causes of a few issues that I’d been experiencing, and it was a real eye-opener for me to get an external perspective on my life and what I was going through. I’d highly recommend giving it a try.”

Matt

“I have worked with James for a period of 12 months. He was an excellent therapist in my therapeutic journey and during our meetings we focused both on practical steps for me to improve my life but also had some deeper psychotherapeutic sessions. I can say that my binge eating has reduced dramatically, and more importantly I feel more in control over my eating and self-talk. I am also in control over cynicism which was a big part of my eating habits and regressing to old behaviours. I sincerely recommend working with James and WeightMatters, and I thank him wholeheartedly for our journey together.”
