Laying the foundations for life

Weight Management

Nearly 2/3 of adults in the UK are living with overweight or obesity and this is associated with an increased risk of most health problems, an increase in mortality rates and a decrease in quality of life. At Gillvray Health we know that weight loss is not just about eating less and doing more. This comprehensive package put together by Dr Claire, Lucy and Caroline includes an exercise programme, nutrition tracking and advice, weight tracking, psychological and habit support, and Lucy's breathwork course all delivered conveniently through our app-based service - THE FORMENTOR APP. This is not a diet plan, but a supportive space were we work collaboratively with you, your interests and life to help you take sustainable steps towards a healthier fututre. Regular check ins and the ability to message 7 days a week through a text messaging system direct to Dr Claire, Lucy and Caroline will further enhance your journey. This program has been created to be used alongside prescriptions of Wegovy or Mounjaro weight loss injections which you can access through https://www.cambridgeprivatedoctors.co.uk/.

It can however be used independently and may supplement one to one sessions with Dr Claire or Lucy.

Walk (Run) and Talk

For some people sitting in a room and talking is very difficult. Through my 25 years of experience as a doctor and following the research on health both physical and psychological it made sense to set up a moving clinic. The benefits of moving and talking are multifold. Being side by side rather than facing each other can make the session less intense and allow many people to share their thoughts more easily. Being outdoors brings benefits of vitamin D, lowering of your blood pressure, improvements in anxiety symptoms and depression, improvements in immune function. Moving brings benefits for our mental and physical health. We walk at a pace that suits you. Some people like to run. We often see much quicker psychological improvement in these sessions than in more formal therapy settings. This can be helpful for those with neurodiversity and young people who again may struggle with the intensity of a more formal therapy session.

Access to Lucy's online library of content of yoga, breathwork and meditation sessions is included.

The Sleep Clinic

CBT for Insomnia is the first line treatment advised by NICE for insomnia because it works. With over 80% success rates it is better than medication and will teach you skills you can use over again. Book into the clinic and have 3 x 30 minute sessions with Dr Claire at fortnightly intervals. The first session she will check that the programme is appropriate for you and give you all the information you need to get started. The second session is used to look at your personal sleep cycle and to build a strategy for change and the third is a check in to see how you are progressing and to set up a plan going forward. You will be given homework to complete between appointments. An added treat will include a session with Lucy Hibben to be shown some down regulating breath techniques to supplement the knowledge you will be given. (All sessions delivered virtually)

Feedback

"I have been guided every step of the way in a very caring and supportive way, with absolute privacy and prompt support. I reduced my weight 13% in the first 3 months and I have a target to go up to 20% to achieve a healthy BMI. This was obtained through a combination of pen, nutrition and HIIT exercises at least 3 times a week to maintain the muscle mass. What I found really reassuring is the small steps approach starting with the very minimum dosage and increasing only and if a plateau is reached. The food tracking mechanism is helpful to guide the calories intake and establish good habits and has a vast catalogue of foods to choose from.

I had only minor symptoms and if you follow the guidance on all aspects: exercise, water intake, nutritious food throughout the day in small quantities, skin hydration, you will lose weight in a healthy way."

"After going through some very challenging times with my family, I knew I needed support. I arranged for some Signature Therapy sessions with Dr. Claire at Gillvray Health and I'm very thankful that I did. What set this experience apart and made it so effective was the emphasis on being outdoors and walking, rather than the traditional, more formal therapy sessions. Being able to move and talk outdoors added a whole new dimension to the sessions. The combination of physical movement and emotional processing made it easier for me to open up and explore my feelings in a way I wouldn't have achieved in a conventional setting. It felt more natural, and I left each session feeling not only lighter but also more motivated and empowered to deal with the challenges I was facing.

Dr. Claire is amazing, she is patient, empathetic,and an exceptional listener. Her approach is gentle yet profoundly effective, and I always felt heard and understood. She knew exactly when to listen and when to offer insights that helped me see my situation from a different perspective. Thanks to her support, I was able to process my challenges in a healthier way and learn a few things about myself that I didn’t expect.

The impact of these sessions has been significant. I feel more in control, less stressed, and much better equipped to handle my family dynamics. I cannot recommend Dr. Claire and Gillvray Health enough. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and offers a refreshing approach to therapy, this is the place to go."
