Lorraine understands your pain and frustration when it comes to endless dieting, feeling bad, eating more to compensate for emotional needs and consequently ending up weighing more than you did to begin with!!! Its a constant roller coaster as your body tries to find the energy and nutrients it craves in the non nutritional foods....
The weight loss coaching program she has compiled, originates from many years of working with clients who have been trapped in their own unhappiness. Many of her clients believed that they would just exercise when they were thinner!! They believed they would just attend functions and parties when they had lost weight!! Essentially postponing and avoiding really living. Family life is very often affected, and negative eating / exercise habits have been and still are, passed down from generation to generation. Well time to break the vicious cycle.........
Lorraine began her career in Counselling and Support in 2002 where she underwent six months of residential weekend training, provided by Alcohol Focus Scotland. She then embarked on a two year supervised practice placement providing counselling to clients and their family members who were suffering from Alcohol Abuse and Drug Addiction Issues. It was during this time she became fascinated in the link,between cravings and nutritional deficiencies. She recognised that clients presenting with alcohol and drug issues were very similar to clients presenting with weight problems and eating disorders.
After gaining accreditation with AFS she continued providing advice and counselling on a voluntary basis before moving over to Private Practice in 2011. She has supported hundreds of clients over the past fifteen years and is a firm believer in the "power of the mind". You CAN if you think you can....
Over the past fifteen years she has continued her Professional Development gaining her certificates and training in Life-Coaching, Nutritional Therapy, Personal Nutrition and WeightLoss, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anger and Agression Management, Child Protection, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. She holds a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from University of West of Scotland and is a member of British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapists and The Nutrition Society.
