Eating disorders encompass a range of psychological conditions that affect an individual’s relationship with food, body image, and overall health. Common types include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. These disorders can lead to severe physical and emotional consequences, making early intervention crucial. In our therapy sessions, we focus on understanding the underlying emotional triggers and cognitive distortions that contribute to these behaviours. By creating a safe and supportive environment, clients can explore their feelings around food and body image, which is essential for recovery.Through a combination of talk therapy and skill-building techniques, we aim to empower individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is often employed to help clients challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with more constructive beliefs. Additionally, we incorporate mindfulness practices that encourage clients to reconnect with their bodies and emotions, promoting a more balanced relationship with food. Our goal is to support each individual on their journey to recovery, fostering resilience and self-acceptance along the way.
