Weight Loss & Weight Management Hypnotherapy in Canterbury
Hypnotherapy & NLP for lasting weight management with Jason Kemp • Home visits in East Kent or online via Zoom
If managing your weight were just about willpower, wouldn't you be there by now?
In short: a private 8-session programme that combines hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to change the emotional eating, grazing and craving habits that make diets fail, so managing your weight stops being a daily fight. Sessions take place in your home across Canterbury and East Kent, or anywhere via Zoom. No meal plans, no calorie counting.
A relaxed phone chat about your goals. No obligation to book the programme.
Why diets keep failing (and why it isn't your fault)
Diets ask you to run on conscious willpower. Willpower is limited, and it runs out exactly when you are stressed, tired or overwhelmed, which is when emotional eating takes over.
Those habits live below conscious thought. Food has become a way to cope, to relax, to reward yourself or to take a break. Fighting that with rules is fighting your own mind's coping strategy, and the habit usually wins.
Hypnotherapy and NLP work with those unconscious patterns directly. Instead of resisting cravings every day, you change how you respond to the triggers behind them, so healthier choices start to feel normal.
Is this programme right for you?
It is designed for adults who know what to eat but struggle to stick with it. It is a good fit if you recognise yourself in any of these:
- You eat when you're stressed, bored, lonely or tired rather than hungry
- Evenings are the problem: snacking after dinner or late at night
- Sugar or carb cravings feel impossible to ignore
- You graze through the day without really noticing
- You've lost weight on diets before, then put it all back on
- You start strong on a Monday and lose motivation within weeks
How the 8-session programme works
Three phases, eight sessions, plus an optional bonus session. Each session builds on the last, and between sessions you get simple techniques to use in everyday life, so the changes carry on outside the room.
Phase 1 • Sessions 1–2
Understand
Before changing anything, we get a clear picture of what's really driving your eating.
Assessment and goals
We map your eating patterns, triggers and history, and set clear, realistic goals.
Understanding your triggers
We identify the situations and feelings that lead to eating when you're not hungry.
Phase 2 • Sessions 3–5
Change
This is where hypnosis and NLP do the heavy lifting, changing how you respond to food.
Breaking the craving loop
Hypnosis and NLP techniques to weaken the pull of specific foods and cravings.
Stress without food
New ways to handle stress, tiredness and emotion that don't involve the fridge.
Portions and fullness
Reconnecting with real hunger and fullness signals so you naturally eat less.
Phase 3 • Sessions 6–8
Lock It In
We make the new habits stick, so the change lasts long after the programme ends.
Motivation and self-image
Building a self-image that fits the healthier habits you're creating.
Handling setbacks
Preparing for holidays, social events and bad days so one slip doesn't end the progress.
Future-proofing
Reinforcing everything and planning how you'll keep the changes for the long term.
Hypnotic gastric band session
About two months after your final session, you can choose a hypnotic gastric band session. It's a hypnotherapy technique that uses the idea of a band as a powerful mental image, helping your mind link smaller portions with feeling comfortably satisfied. It's also a chance to reinforce everything from the programme at the point most people start to slip.
Entirely hypnotic: nothing physical is involved. It's an extra tool on top of the programme, not a replacement for it, and we'll check it's right for you at your consultation.
Talk through the programme, and the optional bonus session, before committing to anything.

Why work with me on your weight?
My name is Jason Kemp. I'm a hypnotherapist, NLP Trainer and Master Practitioner based in Canterbury, and I've been studying how the mind works since 2015. I won't hand you a diet sheet, weigh you, or lecture you about what you already know you "should" eat.
Most people I work with already know what to eat. What gets in the way is the 4pm craving, the evening snacking, the "I've had a rough day, I deserve this" moment. Those are learned patterns, and patterns can be changed. That's where my work focuses.
I use hypnotherapy alongside NLP techniques such as submodalities, reframing and Timeline Therapy, which I studied under Wyatt Woodsmall, to change how you respond to food triggers at an unconscious level, so healthier choices stop feeling like a battle.
No judgement, no shame, no scales. Just a private, one-to-one programme that works at your pace, in your own home or over Zoom.
Trainer-level member of the Association for NLP (ANLP) since 2019 • INLPTA-registered NLP Trainer • Book reviewer for ANLP's Rapport magazine
What clients say
"I spent years cycling through diets only to gain the weight straight back. Working with Jason completely stopped my late-night emotional snacking. For the first time in my life, I just don't crave sugar anymore. Having him visit me at home in Herne Bay made the whole process completely stress-free."
"I was skeptical about doing hypnotherapy over Zoom, but the results have been incredible. The focus on Neuro-Linguistic Programming got right to the root of why I used food as a stress reward. I've dropped the weight effortlessly without feeling deprived."
Individual results vary.
Weight loss hypnotherapy: frequently asked questions
What is weight loss hypnotherapy?
Weight loss hypnotherapy uses a relaxed, focused state of attention to work on the habits and emotional triggers behind overeating, such as stress eating, evening snacking and sugar cravings. Combined with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), it helps change how you respond to food so healthier choices feel natural rather than forced.
Is this weight loss or weight management?
Both, but the focus is on management. Most people have lost weight before; the hard part is keeping it off. Your unconscious mind tends to resist losing things, so rather than chasing a number on the scales, the programme changes the habits and emotional triggers behind overeating, so a healthy weight becomes something you maintain naturally rather than something you fight for.
Does hypnotherapy for weight loss actually work?
Hypnotherapy works best as part of a wider approach rather than as a magic switch. It is most useful when the main obstacle is behaviour: eating for comfort, boredom or stress, grazing, or losing motivation after a few weeks. Results vary from person to person, which is why the programme starts with a free consultation to check it is a good fit for you.
Why is the programme 8 sessions rather than one?
Eating habits are usually tied to several triggers, not one. Eight sessions give time to work through each trigger, reinforce new habits between sessions, and handle the setbacks that normally end a diet, so the change lasts beyond the first few weeks.
What happens after the 8 sessions?
You'll leave with techniques to use on your own. You can also choose an optional bonus session about two months later, at no extra cost, which includes the hypnotic gastric band technique and doubles as a chance to reinforce what's working and deal with any slips.
Is it a diet?
No. There are no meal plans, banned foods or calorie counting. The programme focuses on why you eat when you are not hungry and how you respond to cravings, so you can make your own healthy choices without relying on willpower.
What is a hypnotic gastric band, and do you offer it?
A hypnotic gastric band is a hypnotherapy technique that uses the idea of a band as a powerful mental image, helping your mind link smaller portions with feeling comfortably satisfied. It is entirely hypnotic: nothing physical is involved. I offer it as an optional bonus session at no extra cost, about two months after your final session. It is an extra tool on top of the main programme, not a replacement for it; the habit and trigger work in the 8 sessions is what drives lasting change. We'll discuss whether it's right for you during your free consultation.
Can weight loss hypnotherapy be done over Zoom?
Yes. Online sessions work in the same way as in-person ones: you only need a quiet room, a comfortable chair, headphones and a stable internet connection. Zoom is the standard option for clients in Maidstone, Sittingbourne, the rest of the UK and overseas.
Where do the home-visit sessions take place?
Jason Kemp visits clients in their own homes across Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, Hythe, Deal and Sandwich in East Kent. Clients further afield are seen over Zoom.
Will I be asleep or lose control during hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation, similar to being absorbed in a good book. You stay aware of what is happening, can hear everything, and cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do.
Is weight loss hypnotherapy suitable for everyone?
It suits most adults who want to change their eating habits. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, take medication that affects appetite or weight, or have a current or past eating disorder, please speak to your GP before starting. This programme is not a substitute for medical advice.
