Sugar cravings: take back control

Sugar is everywhere, and for some people a sweet treat turns into a daily pull that’s hard to say no to. The biscuits at 3pm, the pudding you didn’t really want, the trip to the shop late at night. If that sounds like you, the craving is usually doing a job, and that’s what we work on.

Is this more than a craving?

If eating ever feels out of control, if you binge and then feel you have to make up for it, or if food is closely tied to how you feel about yourself, please speak to your GP or contact Beat, the UK eating disorder charity, on 0808 801 0677 (England, weekdays 3pm to 8pm). Hypnotherapy for cravings isn’t the right starting point for an eating disorder.

Signs the craving is running the show

  • Sweet things are the first thing you reach for when you’re tired or stressed
  • You plan to have one and finish the packet
  • You’ve tried cutting sugar out and the cravings won
  • You eat sweet things when you’re not hungry at all

How hypnotherapy helps

Adam Cox, clinical hypnotherapist

Cravings are often a learned link between a feeling and a food. Tired, bored or low leads straight to something sweet. In hypnosis we work on that link and on the feelings behind it, so you have more choice in the moment the craving arrives.

It works alongside a balanced diet and your own effort. It isn’t a diet, and it won’t do the work for you, but it can make sticking to the changes you choose feel far less of a fight.

Common questions

Will this help me lose weight?

It can help you stick to the changes you decide to make. Weight loss itself comes from what you eat and how active you are, and sessions support that rather than replace it.

Do I have to give up sugar completely?

No. Many people want a normal, relaxed relationship with sweet food rather than cutting it out. We agree your goal together.

How many sessions will I need?

Many people start with one 90 minute session. If the habit goes back years or is tied up with stress, three sessions gives us room to work on both.

How do sessions work?

We meet one to one over Zoom. Each session is built around your own triggers, and you get a recording of the hypnosis to listen to afterwards.
