Lydia Pattison - BA Psych, Counselor, Certified Life and Weight Coach (MBI Life Coach Training, The Life Coach School)
I've always been intrigued by two things: why we do what we do, and how to create lasting change.
What if you could finally stop the habits and thoughts that hold you back?
It's actually possible. The reason you haven't been able to stop is most likely a combination of trying to use willpower (which never works) and self shaming your way out of habits like emotional overeating (which also never works). If you're like most of my clients you probably think that it's your fault that you haven't been able to work this out.
I understand... I was the same!
Until recently I struggled just like you. Emotionally overeating had me gain and lose the same 40 pounds since childhood.
And it's not like I didn't know a reasonable amount about psychology. After getting a psychology degree and counselling training, I worked in psychiatric support before moving into exploring motivation as a qualitative researcher within marketing.
I spent over 25 years of uncovering people's underlying driving motivations in literally thousands of hours in depth interviews and group discussions. My expertise was as a motivational expert, uncovering the psychological triggers to drive consumption. So I had the behind the scenes view of how our over marketedculture has become obesogenic (meaning: makes you fat!) so I know it's not our fault but a problem with a society that sells food as the solution to emotional problems. Even knowing this, I still struggled with weight and emotional overeating.
It wasn't until I found Life Coaching where I learned the simple strategies to deal with the conscious and subconscious drivers to unwanted behaviours. that I finally lost the weight for good. I am now a certified coach with the Life Coach School helping others do the same.
Who do I work with?
I work with smart people like you who have struggled alone too long and are looking for support to put the struggle behind them for good. I know that you have probably tried every strategy unders the sun - as well as different therapies too - and are completely frustrated you haven't been able to work this out on your own.
This is where coaching comes in. I provide the tools and structure to help you understand what's behind your habits. Once you see exactly what's going on it's actually relatively simple to change.
Most of my clients already know how they want to eat and what they want to do. I am not a therapist and I won't give you advice. Instead I'll help you explore and shine a light on your thinking behavior so you can finally overcome it.
So how do we start?
It's easy! Just sign up for a free initial session below and we'll find out exactly where you are struggling and the exact next steps you can take to take control for good.
This call is zero obligation and will let you experience coaching first hand so you can see if coaching is right for you - and we can see if we are a good fit.
