Abstract

The WeightMatters Practice in the heart of London?s medical district is a growing and thriving practice that uses a multi- factorial model for the treatment of weight loss and obesity. The medical factors and current nutrition of a client are examined in context with their personal psychological and eating history, together with the relational context of their upbringing and their present day circumstances. Eating and behavioral therapists work with a cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and nutritional frame of reference to explore eating patterns and self-sabotage behaviors, supporting clients to build new strategies, skills and resources to lose weight and change their lifestyle. The wider team offers medical, psychiatric, dietetic and body work providing a holistic and robust support structure for clients who present with varying levels of eating, weight, food and body presentations. The talk will present the reasons why this model works, and how this can be a useful blueprint for other weight loss and obesity practices.
