If you’re living with a diagnosis of anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder, you are someone who struggles with their relationship with food. It’s likely you use food to cope with difficult emotions, situations or mental health challenges.

Anyone can develop disordered eating regardless of race, culture or gender. Your behaviour might include limiting the amount of food eaten, eating very large quantities of food at once, purging yourself of the food, exercising too much or a combination of these behaviours.

It’s important to remember that eating disorders are not all about food itself, but about your feelings which may be linked to trauma. Your relationship with food may make you feel more in control or completely out of control. You are not to blame and deserve compassion, medical and nutritional advice and multi-disciplinary support.

We work privately alongside your medical team and nutritionist to support you in your recovery. If you’re not sure of the nature of your disordered eating, your symptoms can change. There is often overlap between different eating disorders so there is no pressure for you to categorise your symptoms.

Psychologists work on a formulation basis which incorporates information from your assessment, research and psychological theory to devise the best treatment plan for you.
