Disordered Eating Therapy

Therapy plays a crucial role in addressing the underlying causes of disordered eating and helping individuals develop healthier eating patterns. At Flourishing, we use a combination of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and nutritional guidance, to support you in overcoming disordered eating. Our approach is holistic, addressing not only the symptoms of disordered eating but also the emotional and psychological factors that contribute to it.

Our Disordered Eating Therapy program is personalised to meet your specific needs and goals. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your eating patterns, emotional triggers, and overall health. Based on this, we create a tailored treatment plan that includes individual therapy sessions, nutritional counselling, and practical tools to help you develop a healthier relationship with food. We aim to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to make lasting changes and achieve a balanced, fulfilling life.

Improved Relationship with Food

Therapy helps you understand and change unhealthy eating patterns, leading to a healthier, more balanced relationship with food.

Increased Self-Esteem

By addressing the underlying emotional issues that contribute to disordered eating, therapy can help you build self-esteem and improve body image.

Better Emotional Regulation

Learn how to manage emotions like stress, anxiety, and sadness without turning to food as a coping mechanism.

Healthy Eating Habits

Develop sustainable eating habits that support your physical and mental health, rather than restrictive or binge eating patterns.

Long-Term Recovery Support

Our therapy program provides ongoing support to help you maintain the progress you’ve made and prevent relapse.

Holistic Wellbeing

Our approach considers your overall wellbeing, addressing both physical health and emotional healing for comprehensive recovery.

Initial Assessment

Your journey begins with a detailed assessment to understand your eating behaviours, emotional triggers, and health history. This helps us tailor a therapy plan that meets your specific needs.

Individual Therapy Sessions

In one-on-one sessions, you’ll work with a therapist to explore the root causes of your disordered eating, such as emotional stress, low self-esteem, or past trauma.

Nutritional Counselling

Alongside therapy, we offer nutritional counselling to help you understand how food impacts your body and mind. You’ll learn how to make healthier food choices and develop a balanced approach to eating.

Ongoing Support and Coaching

Recovery from disordered eating is a long-term process. We provide continuous support and regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.

Transform Your Health

Is Disordered Eating Therapy Right for You?

Disordered Eating Therapy is beneficial for anyone struggling with unhealthy eating patterns, whether or not they meet the criteria for an eating disorder. It’s particularly helpful if you:

• Engage in Binge Eating: If you frequently eat large amounts of food in a short period, often feeling out of control, therapy can help you understand and manage these behaviours.

• Use Food as a Coping Mechanism: If you often turn to food for comfort when you’re stressed, anxious, or sad, therapy can help you develop healthier coping strategies.

• Struggle with Body Image: If you have a negative body image or low self-esteem related to your appearance, therapy can help you build a healthier self-concept and improve your relationship with your body.

• Have a History of Restrictive Dieting: If you’ve engaged in extreme dieting or food restriction, therapy can help you establish more balanced eating habits and avoid the cycle of dieting and bingeing.

• Want to Achieve Long-Term Recovery: If you’re committed to making lasting changes and achieving a healthier relationship with food, Disordered Eating Therapy provides the tools and support you need.

Real-Life Impact of Mindful Working

At Flourishing, we’ve witnessed incredible transformations through Art Therapy.

Here are some of the ways our clients have benefited:

I struggled with binge eating for years, feeling ashamed and out of control. The therapy I received at Flourishing helped me understand the emotional triggers behind my eating and gave me the tools to manage my stress in healthier ways. I’m finally in a better place with food and my body.

I used to go on extreme diets, only to end up bingeing and feeling worse. Therapy at Flourishing taught me how to eat in a balanced way and listen to my body’s needs. I’m no longer trapped in the cycle of dieting and bingeing, and I feel much healthier and happier.

I had a very negative body image and used food to cope with my emotions. Through therapy, I’ve learned to appreciate my body for what it can do, not just how it looks. I’m eating better, feeling more confident, and no longer letting food control my life.
