Welcome to Combating Obesity...
...where we offer help, guidance and support to individuals throughout
Huddersfield and surrounding areas who have been diagnosed as clinically obese,
and who want to make positive changes in their life.
Founded in 2002 to bridge the gap in obesity management.
Our approach is Holistic and client-centred.
We work with children young people and adults and provide Royal College of Nursing (RCN) accredited training and consultancy to education, health anc social care professionals.
There are many reasons why people gain additional weight and no two people are the same. However, when an obese person seeks assistance they are usually referred only to dieticians and weight loss groups.
Health workers rarely have the time nor training to listen and really hear their patients' weight concerns and experiences. Everyone knows what to do to lose weight but few are able to. Combating Obesity Ltd was set up to bridge this gap. As a team of friendly and professionally qualified counsellors we take the time to know our clients and work very closely with them to examine and understand the reasons for their own personal weight gain.
Our holistic weight management approach starts with achieving a good quality of life and improving overall health and well-being. Weight loss then follows naturally without restrictive fad diets or gruelling work-outs. Clients are empowered to take and keep control of their weight.
Not all clients are ready or able to lose weight so we start with where they are now and support them to get to where they want to be. We are also able to work with the more serious underlying emotional issues many clients may face.
This professional service is regulated by the British Association of Counselling and Pyschotherapy (BACP)
