🌿 Why Ongoing Support Matters:

1. Continued Emotional Adjustment
The emotional shifts do not end at 12 weeks post-op. Clients often experience new feelings months later — including fear of regain, identity changes, frustration with plateaus, or unexpected sadness or anxiety.

Ongoing counselling helps you process these emotions safely and with support.

2. Strengthening New Habits
Long-term success is built on consistency. Additional sessions can help you:

✨️maintain healthy eating behaviours
prevent emotional eating relapse
stay motivated during plateaus

keep your mindset focused and strong

3. Body Image & Confidence Support
As your body continues to change, so does the way you see yourself. Many clients benefit from extra sessions to:
build body confidence
navigate clothing/appearance changes
adjust to a new identity and self-image

4. Relationship & Social Changes
Bariatric surgery can shift dynamics with partners, family, friends and social environments.

Extra support helps you manage:
✨️relationship expectations
✨️changing social patterns
✨️setting new boundaries
✨️navigating comments or criticism

5. Long-Term Resilience & Relapse Prevention: 

Ongoing counselling reinforces the emotional tools needed to maintain your results, cope with stress, and prevent slipping back into old patterns — even years after surgery.

🌟 Flexible, Personalised Support:

You may choose:
✨️occasional check-ins
✨️monthly sessions
✨️or more regular support during ✨️challenging periods

Sessions are tailored to your ongoing emotional, behavioural and lifestyle needs.
