How to Keep Your Confidence Soaring After GLP-1 Treatment

We watched clients achieve incredible results with GLP-1 weight loss injections — only to see many regain the weight, struggle emotionally, or feel disconnected from their new bodies. We knew the missing piece was long-term, holistic support. So we built Collabor8 to be the bridge between rapid transformation and lasting success.

Our Customers Say

I got in touch with Sarah as I was suffering from intrusive negative thoughts and anxiety. I had got myself a little worked up before our first meeting but the instant I met Sarah and sat down in her practice I felt completely at ease. We had a chat about the issues I was having, and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease which allowed me to be completely open this in itself was a great benefit. We agreed a course of 6 sessions to work through my issues and week after week I could notice marked improvement in the way I was feeling. Her practice is a wonderful relaxing place with heated blankets and calming aromas. Sarah is an incredible person and extremely good at what she does. I have recommended multiple people to her and I will 100% be back for little booster sessions as and when I need them.

I first contacted Sarah for weight loss, as I have been overweight for most of my life but for the last 10 years it had been really creeping up. A typical yo-yo dieter and I never really believed I could lose the weight. In the first session with Sarah, it became clear that I had a huge lack of confidence and didn’t like going out due to a hatred of my appearance. I avoided mirrors, wore baggy clothes just because they covered the bumps and fit my body. Weight loss with these negative feelings was never going to be possible or permanent. Fast track forward , I have completely changed my outlook, handle issues in a rational way and my focus is solution based. For example I had a lovely jumper which I didn’t wear even though it fitted fine because I believed I looked fat in it. That’s all I could see. A few weeks later, even though I was the same weight, I put it on and felt fabulous, it was a revelation!! At the end of 2022 we were ready to tackle my weight loss seriously. I had naturally lost half a stone through being more content but I have now broken through a major barrier and am now a weight I haven’t been for over a decade! There is still weight to be lost but through Sarah’s sessions I know I can and will lose all the weight permanently. It’s been relatively easy and the key for me are the sessions with Sarah Shaw. I cannot recommend Sarah enough if you want to make positive changes in your life. For me the huge benefits include enjoying going out, taking more pride in my appearance, seeing friends more, greatly reduced stress, I have taken up yoga and massively reduced my weight with all the health benefits which come with it including reduced blood pressure. The result is a very happy person and I will always be grateful for this chance.

After losing 6 stone in 16 months on GLP medication, I should have felt on top of the world — but instead, I was overwhelmed with anxiety about coming off it when the price suddenly increased. Losing the weight was one battle, but the thought of keeping it off without the medication felt terrifying. I’ve known Sam for many years through her aesthetics and beauty salon, and she has been there with me through every step of my GLP-1 journey. We talked about everything — the breakthroughs, the setbacks, the hope, and the fear. As I approached the end of my treatment, the worry about “food noise” returning and the possibility of regaining everything I had fought so hard for became almost unbearable. So when Sam introduced me to collabor8well, it honestly felt like a lifeline. Meeting Sarah was like taking a deep breath for the first time in months. We spoke at length about my journey, and she helped me see my relationship with food with such clarity and compassion. Then came the hypnotherapy session — and it was nothing short of incredible. For the first time in so long, I felt calm… in control… hopeful. I walked out of Sarah’s clinic with my head held high and my heart feeling lighter than it had in years. The support from the ladies at collabor8well has been nothing short of amazing. Their kindness, guidance, and encouragement have made me feel safe, understood, and empowered. I genuinely cannot thank them enough. If you’re feeling lost after your GLP journey, scared of slipping backwards, or simply desperate to take back control of your eating habits, I cannot recommend this programme enough. It has given me something I thought I’d lost forever — confidence in myself.

Recently went to Sam for my first lot of filler. I was made to feel welcome from the minute I walked in. I had a consultation where we discussed options and Sam was really informative of each one and what was suitable for what I wanted. During the treatment she made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I would recommend anyone to go to Sam. Really happy with my treatment and won’t hesitate to return! Thank you!
