In person in Upwey, Dandenong Ranges, and online across Australia.
You might find yourself reaching for food when you're stressed, exhausted, bored or overwhelmed, even when you aren't physically hungry. In the moment, eating may bring comfort or relief, but afterwards you're left feeling frustrated with yourself.
Perhaps you've made countless promises to change your eating habits, only to find yourself repeating the same patterns. You know what you'd like to do differently, but knowing doesn't always make it easier.
Over time, this can affect not only how you eat, but how you feel about yourself.
You may recognise:
Turning to food for comfort, distraction or relief when emotions feel difficult.
Eating automatically, sometimes without fully noticing what you're doing.
Feeling caught between trying to control your eating and moments when it feels difficult to manage.
Experiencing guilt, frustration or self-criticism afterwards.
Spending more time thinking about food, eating or your body than you'd like.
There can be many reasons these patterns develop. Understanding your particular experiences, without adding more judgement or pressure, creates an opportunity to develop a different relationship with food.
When your relationship with food feels difficult
How I work with emotional eating
I'm Corinne Nijjer, a clinical hypnotherapist with a background in social work and training in EMDR and NLP.
Our work begins with understanding your relationship with food, particularly what happens in the moments when eating feels automatic, difficult to control or closely connected to your emotions.
Food can become a familiar way of finding comfort, managing stress or creating a moment of relief. Rather than assuming there's one reason behind your eating patterns, we'll explore what is happening for you.
Depending on your needs, sessions may include clinical hypnotherapy, guided imagery, therapeutic conversations and practical strategies. Together, we can work on recognising emotional triggers, exploring long-standing beliefs and habits, and developing different ways to respond when familiar urges arise.
This isn't about giving you another set of restrictive food rules or expecting you to rely on willpower alone.
The aim is to help you feel more comfortable around food, respond to your emotional needs in ways that support you and develop a greater sense of choice and trust in yourself.
I offer this work through my Leading Minds Breakthrough Method, a personalised one-to-one program typically involving weekly sessions over 10–12 weeks, with practices and resources to support you between sessions.
