Healing Your Relationship With Food Starts Here​
Struggling with eating patterns isn’t about willpower — it’s about pain, fear, and coping in the best ways you know how. Whether you're dealing with binge eating, emotional eating, chronic restriction, or intense body shame, everyday life can feel like a cycle of anxiety, guilt, and self-criticism.​
​
Despite how heavy this feels, healing is absolutely possible, and you do not have to do this alone.
​
Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to explore what’s driving your eating patterns — without shame or pressure. With evidence-based support, you’ll learn to understand your triggers, soothe your emotions, reconnect with your body, and build a healthier, more trusting relationship with food. Over time, you’ll begin to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in charge of your life again.
How Therapy Helps With Disordered Eating
Understanding Food Patterns
We’ll explore the emotional, psychological, and environmental factors influencing your eating habits. You’ll gain insight into the patterns that keep you stuck and develop tools to interrupt them with greater compassion and clarity.
Managing Intense Emotions
We’ll help you regulate overwhelming emotions — whether they show up as urges to binge, restrict, or avoid food entirely. Together, we’ll build a personalised set of strategies to help you stay steady and grounded when emotions feel intense.
Body Image Improvement
You’ll learn how to soften negative body thoughts, challenge perfectionism, and develop a more flexible, respectful relationship with your body. We take a gentle, non-judgmental approach that meets you wherever you are.
Types of Eating Disorders We Treat
Anorexia Therapy
​
Anorexia can feel like food and body image control your life. Therapy helps reduce binge-eating episodes by identifying emotional triggers, breaking cycles of guilt, and building mindful eating habits. With supportive guidance, you’ll learn tools to regulate emotions, decrease urges, and restore trust with food.
​​​​
Binge Eating Therapy
Sessions focus on breaking the guilt–binge cycle by understanding emotional triggers, practising regulation skills, and restoring trust in hunger and fullness cues. Over time, therapy helps you feel more in control and less overwhelmed by urges.
​​
Bulimia Therapy
​
Bulimia often involves painful cycles of bingeing and purging. Therapy can reduce the urge to purge by addressing shame, identifying the emotions driving episodes, and building safer coping strategies. Treatment supports body acceptance and steadier eating patterns that feel manageable in the long term.​​
​
ARFID Therapy
​
ARFID is more than “picky eating” — it can cause significant distress and health challenges. Therapy gently expands food variety by reducing fear-based avoidance and supporting gradual exposure to new textures and flavours. With guided strategies, you can increase tolerance, ease anxiety around meals, and create a more flexible eating routine.
​​​
Other Eating Disorders & Concerns
​
We also support individuals experiencing orthorexia, emotional eating, body dysmorphia, and disordered eating patterns. Therapy is tailored to your unique needs, always centred on compassion, safety, and recovery.
