Three formats — individual, group, and digital — each structured around the same orienting question: what is the appetite actually communicating when it arises under stress or emotional pressure?
A one-to-one working format conducted in person at the Tarelova studio on Exmouth Market, or remotely by video call. Each session runs for sixty minutes and centres on structured exploration of the individual's specific eating-under-pressure patterns.
The session begins with a food-mood record review — a structured log kept by the participant in the days preceding the session — and moves into guided inquiry: what states accompanied the appetite signals, what cravings appeared, and whether satiety was reached.
A small-group format (maximum eight participants) held in the Tarelova studio on a monthly basis. Each workshop runs for two and a half hours and is structured around a shared theme drawn from the participants' submitted food-mood records.
The collective inquiry format allows participants to recognise shared patterns in appetite under stress — the common signals, the recurrent comfort food categories, the timing of emotional hunger in relation to the working day. Shared recognition is itself a significant calibration tool.
A structured self-directed programme delivered in weekly modules by email and a private participant portal. Each week addresses a specific dimension of the emotional hunger / physical appetite distinction, building progressively from observation to pattern recognition to deliberate response.
Participants maintain a structured food-mood record throughout, and receive one individual mid-programme check-in (remote, 30 minutes) at week six. The programme is designed to run alongside a working week without requiring significant time commitment — the observation framework integrates into existing daily routines.
