Hello, I’m Paula C. Whitfield

A picture of Paula C Whitfield founder and hypnotherapist or Lose Weight Be Happy and Ambiance Hypnotherapy, Paula is sitting down smiling on some steps wearing a black suit.

I am the founder of Lose Weight Be Happy, specialist in weight loss hypnotherapy, and author of both practical guides and fiction that inspire change.

For over 20 years, I’ve been helping people transform their relationship with food. I understand that weight loss isn’t just about what you eat – it’s about the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that shape your choices. That’s why my approach is different: it’s not about fad diets or quick fixes, but about creating lasting freedom.

Through my signature ARCHIE™ Framework – a simple, 6-step method – I help clients silence food noise, calm cravings, and take back control. I also developed DoseNosis®, a pioneering, needle-free weight loss method that empowers people to make change gently, effectively, and without fear.

Alongside my therapy work, I’m an author. My non-fiction books, like ARCHIE: The 6-Step Framework to Lose Weight and Be Happy, guide readers step-by-step toward a healthier relationship with food. I also write fiction, from dark, thought-provoking novels to children’s books filled with humour and imagination – because words, like therapy, have the power to heal, inspire, and transform.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple mission: to help people unblock, unfold, and unleash the best version of themselves. Whether through hypnotherapy, ARCHIE™, DoseNosis®, or storytelling, I believe change is always possible – and it starts with you.
