Rebuild Your Relationship with Food
Sustainable change starts from the inside out. At The Food Therapy Clinic, we combine psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, behaviour change techniques, and nutrition to help you create lasting change in your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. Our interdisciplinary method brings together psychological, behavioural, and nutritional tools — helping you understand why certain patterns around food developed, and supporting you to rebuild new, healthy habits that last.
​
​
Whether you’re:
-
struggling with binge eating disorder, emotional eating, or ARFID,
-
using or coming off GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro,
-
feeling stuck in an exhausting cycle of dieting and guilt, or
-
simply wanting to eat more intuitively and feel calmer around food
our approach can help you address the root causes of your challenges and build a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with food.
​
All sessions are offered online, allowing clients across the UK and internationally to access compassionate, evidence-based support from the comfort of home.
Welcome
Worries about food can feel all-consuming — but you don’t have to face them alone.
I’m Uxshely, a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, registered nutritionist, and former lawyer, and I founded The Food Therapy Clinic to help people find peace with food again. I never tire of hearing clients say things like, “I can finally eat normally now,” or “I actually enjoy food again and can go out for meals with my friends,” or “I feel so much more in control of my food choices.”
I understand how challenging it can be to struggle with your relationship with food — and how much it can affect every part of your life. Nobody should have to spend their days worrying about food or their weight, feeling guilty after eating, or feeling out of control around food.
​
The team of therapists at The Food Therapy Clinic is here to help you rebuild your relationship with food completely. We know how food-related issues can stop you from enjoying life — and that quick fixes rarely last. Our goal is to help you make sustainable changes to your eating habits so you can feel calm, confident, and free around food again.

How It Works
Rebuilding your relationship with food for the long-term
At The Food Therapy Clinic, we use a specialised, interdisciplinary approach to help you understand and transform your relationship with food. Our therapy process brings together psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, nutrition, and behavioural science to treat the root causes of food and body challenges — not just the symptoms.
​
We support clients struggling with emotional eating, binge eating, ARFID, food aversions, yo-yo dieting, and weight changes related to GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. Whether you’re currently using these medications or coming off them, we help you build sustainable habits, manage emotional triggers, and maintain healthy progress long-term.
​
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan, we create a personalised treatment approach that combines the most effective tools from psychology, nutrition, and behaviour change science. Each plan is designed to promote sustainable behaviour change and help you rebuild your relationship with food — for good.
​All of our therapy sessions are delivered online, allowing clients across the UK and internationally to access expert support from home. You’ll meet regularly via video sessions with your therapist and nutritionist, and receive check-ins between sessions for consistent, compassionate guidance.
​
Our goal is to help you feel calm and free around food, to quiet obsessive thoughts about eating or body image, and to develop lasting habits that support your wellbeing — freeing you to focus on the parts of life that truly matter.
One-on-One Sessions
Why It Works
An interdisciplinary approach
At The Food Therapy Clinic, we recognise that your relationship with food is shaped by a complex web of psychological, emotional, and biological factors. Food is never just nourishment — it’s often linked to comfort, control, connection, and coping.
​
Many of the challenges people face around eating — from binge eating and emotional eating to ARFID, food aversions, or weight regain after GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy — are not about willpower. They’re about what’s happening beneath the surface: stress, trauma, unmet needs, fatigue, or self-criticism.
​
Even those currently using GLP-1 medication may find that, while their appetite is suppressed, emotional or situational triggers for eating still remain. And for many, when the medication is reduced or stopped, it can feel confusing or overwhelming to navigate hunger, cravings, and food choices again.
​
Our work helps you rebuild confidence and trust in your body, so you can maintain stability and balance — with or without medication.
This is why our approach combines psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, nutrition science, and behaviour change techniques. To make lasting shifts in your eating patterns, we help you address both the psychological and physiological drivers of your food choices.
​
Our evidence-based method is effective because it’s rooted in research across eating psychology, nutrition, and neuroscience. Each programme is personalised to help you rebuild trust with your body and sustain healthy habits for life.
​
Why traditional diets and meal plans don't work
​
Meal plans and diets can create short-term changes — but rarely lasting ones. Without addressing the psychological drivers of eating, old patterns tend to return as soon as “normal life” resumes.
​
We all have ingrained food-related habits formed through years of emotional learning and routine. To change them, we first need to understand when and why they developed, and then apply practical, research-backed tools to rewire them for good.
​
Our goal is for you to feel empowered, not restricted — to move away from guilt, fear, or control, and toward a sense of freedom, nourishment, and trust in your body. The changes you make here are designed to last for the long term, not just for a season.
​
Techniques
We use a range of techniques to help you to make permanent changes
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for helping you change the subconscious habits that drive your eating patterns.
​
Many of our daily behaviours — like driving or dancing — run on auto-pilot. In the same way, your eating responses can become automatic: reaching for biscuits when stressed, or turning to food for comfort after a difficult day. These are subconscious patterns, not conscious choices.
​
Through gentle, evidence-based hypnotherapy, you can begin to retrain your mind and body to respond differently — so that food is no longer your first coping mechanism, and you can feel calm and in control around eating again.
​
Hypnotherapy can also support clients who are coming off GLP-1 medication, helping to strengthen healthy habits and maintain long-term results when appetite cues return.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a collaborative, evidence-based approach that helps you understand the emotional and psychological patterns driving your relationship with food.
​
Through supportive conversations, you can begin to uncover the root causes of your eating behaviours — whether it’s using food to manage stress, coping with anxiety or low mood, or feeling out of control around certain triggers.​ Our therapists draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy, using whichever combination best fits your needs. Together, we help you to recognise your patterns, respond differently to triggers, and build new, healthier ways to manage your emotions.
​
Psychotherapy can be especially helpful for clients adjusting to changes in appetite or identity while using or coming off GLP-1 medications, as it supports long-term emotional regulation and self-trust.
Nutrition
With so much contradictory nutrition advice online, it can be hard to know what truly supports your health. In a world of fads and “quick fixes,” it’s easy to get caught up in the latest diet plan, cleanse, or food trend — only to find that these changes rarely last.
​
At The Food Therapy Clinic, we take a science-based, compassionate approach to nutrition. Our recommendations are rooted in research and evidence, helping you to make sustainable changes that support both your physical and emotional wellbeing.
​
You’ll learn how to nourish your body without restriction, stabilise your energy, and reach your goals safely — whether you’re recovering from binge eating, adjusting to changes after GLP-1 medications, or simply looking to feel balanced and confident in your food choices again.
Mindfulness
Many people eat on autopilot — at their desks, scrolling through emails, or distracted by screens — without truly noticing what or how much they’re eating.
In a world that rewards constant productivity, slowing down around food can feel almost impossible. Yet, mindful eating is one of the most effective ways to rebuild a calm, balanced relationship with food.
​
At The Food Therapy Clinic, we use mindfulness and evidence-based awareness techniques to help you reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues. By learning to pause, notice, and eat with intention, you can reduce emotional or stress-driven eating, enjoy food without guilt or overthinking and feel more in control of your choices.
​
When you eat with awareness, food becomes nourishing again — not a source of stress or shame.
Services
What we can help you with
Each treatment programme at The Food Therapy Clinic draws on a specialised interdisciplinary approach to help you rebuild your relationship with food and body image. Rather than relying on one method, we integrate evidence-based tools from psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, behaviour change science, sleep psychology, and nutrition — allowing us to address both the psychological and physiological drivers of your eating habits.
This comprehensive approach is particularly effective for those who:
-
are using or coming off GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro) and want to sustain healthy, long-term changes;
-
are navigating emotional or binge eating, ARFID, or other eating difficulties;
-
or feel caught in cycles of dieting, guilt, and loss of control around food.
​
By combining psychological insight with nutritional understanding, we help you create lasting, compassionate change — not just another short-term fix.

BINGE EATING RECOVERY
Susie’s Story – Rebuilding a Peaceful Relationship with Food
Susie reached out after years of struggling with binge eating. She found herself caught in a painful cycle — trying every new diet, sticking with it for a few days or weeks, then feeling like she had failed whenever she broke a rule. Any moment of emotional stress would trigger thoughts like “I’ll just start again tomorrow” — followed by a binge and deep guilt afterwards.
Together, we explored the underlying emotional and psychological drivers of her eating patterns — including how she coped with stress and how she viewed her body. Using a blend of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and nutritional re-education, we helped Susie to:
​
-
break free from the restrict–binge cycle,
-
develop self-compassion, and
-
build long-term, sustainable habits around food.
While weight loss wasn’t the focus, her body naturally stabilised at a healthy level once her eating normalised. Most importantly, she rediscovered the freedom to enjoy food without guilt or fear.
