Daimond Salvadore

I am a therapist specializing in obesity treatment and weight management, with clinical experience in both London and Helsinki. My work takes place primarily through the online doctor chat at medilux.fi and focuses on supporting individuals who are struggling with the physical, psychological, and lifestyle aspects of obesity. I combine evidence-based interventions with a compassionate, personalized approach, helping patients to achieve sustainable improvements in their health and overall well-being.

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and additional certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, both of which are proven effective in treating obesity-related behaviors. Over the past 12 years, I have practiced in multidisciplinary teams in the UK and Finland, working closely with endocrinologists, nutritionists, and general practitioners. This international experience has given me a deep understanding of cultural differences in healthcare and patient expectations, and I am fluent in English and Finnish, allowing me to serve a diverse group of patients.

Psychological support for obesity and overweight patients Behavior change strategies for sustainable weight loss Management of emotional eating, stress-related eating, and binge eating Integrating therapy with medical weight management programs (including pharmacological treatments when prescribed by physicians) Supporting patients preparing for and recovering from bariatric surgery Preventive care and long-term relapse prevention strategies

My therapeutic style is collaborative, practical, and supportive. I view obesity not simply as a matter of willpower, but as a complex condition influenced by biology, psychology, and environment. In therapy, I help patients identify unhelpful thought patterns, address emotional triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. Sessions may focus on cognitive restructuring, goal-setting, mindful eating practices, or stress management techniques, depending on each patient's needs. I work closely with medical teams in both London and Helsinki, ensuring that psychological therapy is fully integrated with dietary, physical activity, and medical interventions. I believe in setting realistic, achievable goals that empower patients, and in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where change becomes possible.
