My Approach

I’m a bit different from others you might have worked with before.

I don’t focus on meal plans, or exercise plans, as there are enough of them available already. Instead I give you a workout for your MIND, and where needed back it up with providing the right knowledge, so that you can then much more easily do what’s required to lose weight and keep it off.

If you follow what you learn with me, whatever approach you choose to lose weight, you will find it easier to STICK TO IT AND KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF because you’ll change what you want.

You will be more able to live a life free from the constraints of the diet and weight gain cycle, eat in a way that supports your health, and no longer feel guilty about how much you eat or exercise.

My story has been featured in the following publications:

Hear what Luna had to say ..

To find out about how my approach works in practice, watch this video of me being interviewed by one of my Programme graduates, Luna, who came to me when she was on an uncontrolled spiral of weight gain and who realised that if she didn’t do something now, she was destined for a future of being overweight and unhealthy.

I’m pleased to say we soon turned that around for her.

I also don’t ask you to share any ‘before’ photos with me, unless you want to, as I know how daunting and uncomfortable that can be, although I do encourage you to take some for your own personal use as later on you will be thankful that you did.

Your experience with me is more focussed around the changes you make in your thoughts, feelings and attitudes, and in doing so the results with your weight will naturally follow and be more likely to be permanent

I’ve struggled with yo-yo dieting for years, after two sessions with Claire I already feel I have structure, realistic goals and a completely different way of approaching my poor eating habits. I feel Claire ‘completely gets me’ and immediately felt safe, comfortable and respected. Thank you Claire – would highly recommend 🙂

YourOneLife Framework for Successful Weight Loss™

My unique approach is to work around your life, not around a set plan.

I developed the YourOneLife Framework for Successful Weight Loss to help people to determine where they need to focus their attention in order to manage their weight well for life. I consider it vital that all elements of the Framework are in place and working in harmony for us to be successful.

If something is missing we will always struggle. Each of us will have different strengths and weaknesses. All areas are important to work through but by knowing where we are individually against each area, we can then prioritise working more intensively on those areas. We review it at regular intervals to make sure we are focussing on the things you need.

Here’s how it works

We build up the layers, in order, working through various mindset exercises as we go, so that eventually you have a complete system, that you can use to apply to your weight loss journey, and a toolbox complete with various tools that you can use to keep you on track when it gets tough. It’s also helpful to apply in other areas of your life too.

This is the general process that we will follow, but the key really is in the IMPLEMENTATION.

I can guide you and support you, but you will still need to do the work.

Motivation and Commitment

  • Develop a long term vision, and find out why you want it?

  • Find out whether it’s what you really want

  • Find out how much you want it

  • Find out what’s been holding you back

  • Learn the difference between motivation, willpower and discipline, and when and how to use them.

Self-belief and confidence

  • Build on previous experience of what has worked for you.

  • Recognise your current strengths

  • Learn how to build new ones

  • Learn how to apply them to your weight loss journey and stop sabotaging your efforts

  • Recognise and develop your sense of self-worth

Ownership and Responsibility

  • Recognise that YOU are in the driving seat

  • Recognise emotional eating

  • Recognising your triggers and pitfalls when it comes to food, sticking to a regime etc

  • Learn how to sit with uncomfortable feelings

  • Learn how to make trade-offs and compromise

  • Develop ways to stay accountable without getting emotional

Knowledge, Skills and Tools

  • Recognise your current strengths

  • You as a project: learn how to plan, and put the right structures and support mechanisms in place for you

  • Improve knowledge of how weight loss works

  • Improve knowledge and skills around healthy eating

  • Learn top tips for reducing food intake without dieting

  • Learn how to get the best out of fitness gadgets

  • Understand the role of exercise in relation to weight loss

Bringing it all together; goal setting and making plans

  • Understand the pros and cons of different weight loss approaches

  • Choose the right approach for you

  • Understand the importance of flexibility

  • Set realistic goals (not idealistic ones)

  • Make your plans

I cover the framework in detail in my Preparing for Successful Weight Loss e-book, taking readers through it, but the key really is in the IMPLEMENTATION. That’s where having coaching and support can help, either 1:1 or in a community like my Accountability Club. The idea is that it is used as a manual, not something to be read once and put away, as in order to be successful, we have to keep working at it, and not get complacent. Just like going to the gym we wouldn’t expect to be fit and strong after one or a few sessions, this is a workout plan for your mind that you have to commit to on an ongoing basis. Trust me, it’s worth it because this is what will change your behaviour for the long term.

Some of those who have bought my e-book have found that it’s been enough, but for others it’s the support they get to work through what’s in it, and being held to account, that makes the difference. I can work with you at a conscious level, going through the mindset exercises, but I can also employ various techniques including hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming, (NLP) to help you control and harness your emotional brain, if you’re having trouble getting it on board and continue to self-sabotage.

I offer various bespoke packages to fit with people’s needs, time and budgets

What others say

Jane Kelly

Preparing for Successful Weight Loss Programme

I can honestly say that working with YourOneLife has changed my life! Sounds dramatic but it has. I have lost 4 stone, thrown away my old clothes (that I hated and were not me at all) and for the first time in my life enjoy the food I choose to eat and am in complete control. If you need a jump start and a way of finding your true self, I cannot recommend working with Claire enough.

Mandy

Accountability Club 

I have never felt this confident that I will actually be able to achieve my goals before. I have been able to easily add some good habits to my life which are making a massive difference to how I feel about weight loss and keeping it off. Since doing the Preparing for Successful Weight Loss programme in 2020 and working with Claire in the Accountability Club since then I’m 4 stone down so far.

Katherine Barham-Jones

1:1 Bespoke Service 

Claire’s guidance and support was paramount in me achieving my goal of 4 stone 10 pounds weight loss which in May 2020 seemed impossible! 6 months later I hit my goal! I can clearly see and feel the difference it has made to my health and confidence and I have now kept it off for a year. I am confident now that I will be able to keep my weight off for life.
