Weight Wise™

A clear link has been identified between mental health problems and obesity, with conditions such as anxiety and depression often leading to weight gain and obesity itself leading to anxiety and depression – a toxic mental health and wellbeing cycle.

The ongoing stigma and body issues around weight gain can negatively affect mood, food can be used as a coping strategy, which increases unhealthy eating and can affect adherence to weight management programmes. For many people experiencing this, bariatrics, or weight loss surgery as it is more commonly known, is the medical option for resolving both the obesity issue and the mental health issue simultaneously.

Weight Wise™ is our psychological support programme for those individuals who are contemplating or have undergone bariatric procedures. Its core focus is to provide mental health and wellbeing support throughout the individuals bariatric journey supporting them to manage the challenges that the process brings and overcome the historical thoughts, feelings and behaviours that led to obesity in the first instance.
