An introduction to Winning At Weight Loss

We have helped thousands of people to attain their weight-loss goals, to feel great and to transform their lives.

This is an area that interests us greatly. We have seen for ourselves the positive repercussions that come from repositioning and conditioning negative schemas. This can imprison people within their own minds and bodies.

In brief, a schema is a thought process or a learning from experiences in our life, that then goes on to be a reference for future behaviour. We have followed the transformational journeys of those who have benefitted from our personally developed ‘Schema Conditioning Psychotherapy’® and now we would like to share that with you.

We understand the frustration you may feel when overeating; the internal conflict and desperation to regain control. We understand because we have been where are you are, both personally and professionally. The realisation hit home to us when someone mentioned how lucky we were to be ‘naturally’ slim. In fact we have lived and breathed our approach every day for over three decades. We, too, have been on the journey of self-analysis when it comes to our diets.

You were great, you are great, and we want to help you look great and feel great, too. EVERYTHING you do starts with a thought. Whether you overeat occasionally or often, the fact is that you have NEVER eaten anything by accident (and this is our area of expertise!)

If you do overeat or have weight issues (or an unhealthy relationship with food) the main question that needs to be answered is:

  • Why and when did this start?

You see, you were not born overweight. Something happened; something changed, and caused you to see food differently.

We believe this is is the missing component in achieving your slimming goals. It’s also the component that is consistently overlooked, and the area that excites us – as it is so powerful in reprogramming your eating schemas.

We are here for you. We believe in you, and know you deserve to be happy.

Please keep an eye on our TikTok channel for new uploads every week, with specific videos on weight loss, plus healthy recipe video ideas from Eva (plus the occasional indulgent one!). Also, we’d love to see you at one of our upcoming workshops this year, where we go into much greater detail on our approach, tips, techniques and methods.

Nik & Eva Speakman

We have studied and worked together since 1992. Between us we have studied human behaviour and psychology for seven decades. We both share an uncontainable passion to offer hope and to help people lead happier and less inhibited lives.

After many remarkable breakthroughs we created our own behavioural change therapy, ‘Schema Conditioning.’® Subsequent work with trauma victims and their related symptoms, led to the creation of two further trauma-based therapies.

‘Schema Conditioning Psychotherapy.’®

‘Visual Schema Displacement Therapy (VSDT)’®

‘Visual Schema Detachment & Restructuring (VSDR)’®

Qualifications from the creation of our therapies, resulted in training psychology professors, doctors and masters students at Universities in Amsterdam and Utrecht. In 2015, this training produced the two sets of scientific studies conducted into the workings of our therapy; the first two study papers highlighting the remarkable efficacy, was published in the Journal of Behaviour Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry in June 2019. A further third study was then published in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology in April 2021, with a fourth clinical study with hospital patients is currently underway and will be completed by the end of 2022.

In addition to members of the public, we work with, and have treated many high-profile clients and ‘A’ list clients around the world, having had prodigious successes. We are resident therapists on ITV’s multi award-winning ‘This Morning’ and have been for over a decade, we have also had own television shows, one of which, ‘The Speakmans’, also aired on ITV and several countries worldwide. Over the last two decades we have appeared on numerous other television shows as experts, such as the multi award-winning Saturday Night Takeaway.

Our mission is to illuminate that there is ALWAYS HOPE and that overcoming trauma and improving quality of life is entirely possible. Many people have either never been given hope, or worse had hope taken away from them, our aim is to correct that by sharing our message in any way we possibly can, including live workshops, theatre tours, books, podcasts, radio, television, social media and YouTube.

At the heart of all we do, is our relentless mission to offer HOPE to as many people as we possibly can.
