A COUNSELLOR is launching a weight loss and management programme for people in Newton Aycliffe who want to improve their health by losing more than three stone.

Susan Hampton is introducing the LighterLife programme to Newton Aycliffe at her practice at Durham Way South which opened last month.

She hopes to help people who are significantly overweight to gain more self confidence, improve their fitness levels and more importantly cut the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, gallstones and certain cancers associated with obesity.

The 52-year-old will use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and a balanced diet plan to help clients lose weight.

All clients must consult a doctor before starting the programme and return regularly to check their progress.
