Eating disorders support
Psychotherapy for eating and body-image difficulties
Specialised psychotherapeutic support for difficulties involving food, body image and self-image, with coordinated care whenever medical or nutritional support is needed.
Specialised support
without judgement
Whole-person view
not weight alone
Coordinated care
where clinically needed
Difficulties do not need to look a particular way to deserve attention
Support may be relevant when thoughts and behaviours around food, eating, exercise, weight or appearance cause distress, secrecy, guilt or disruption to daily life.
Food & control
Restriction, binge episodes, compensatory behaviours or rigid rules around eating.
Body image
Persistent dissatisfaction, checking, avoidance or fear linked to appearance.
Emotional burden
Shame, isolation, anxiety or conflict around food and the body.
The first step includes a careful assessment of current needs
The professional discusses the concern, current risks and existing support. Psychotherapy may form one part of care; collaboration with a doctor, psychiatrist or dietitian may also be recommended when appropriate.
Important information
Do I need an existing diagnosis?
No. You can ask for an initial discussion because you are concerned about your relationship with food or your body. Assessment and recommendations are made by the appropriate professionals.
Is psychotherapy enough on its own?
It depends on the person’s needs and health. Eating disorders can require multidisciplinary care, and additional medical, psychiatric or nutritional support may be recommended.
You can ask for help without having to explain everything at once
For an immediate medical or psychiatric emergency, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
