    Eating disorder treatment

    Eating disorder treatment in Australia

    Helping people to develop a healthier relationship with food and feel good about themselves

    • Feeling out of control in relation to your eating habits?
    • Want to be in control of yourself and your thoughts?
    • Struggling with binge eating?

    You're not alone. In fact, 1 in 6 Australians are affected by eating disorders with devastating consequences.

    About one million people in Australia are affected by eating disorders.

    Types of Eating Disorders

    The most common eating disorders are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, although the rates of Binge Eating Disorder and EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) are increasing. Due to the complexity of Anorexia Nervosa, I do not treat this illness as it requires a multidisciplinary team approach.

    Symptoms of Eating Disorders

    You are likely to experience one or more of the following symptoms:

    • Eating large quantities of food that feels out of control
    • Weight loss, weight gain or weight fluctuation
    • Inability to think rationally or concentrate
    • Constant and excessive dieting
    • Frequent excuses not to eat
    • Dizziness and fatigue
    • Anxiety or depression
    • Sensitivity to cold
    • Social withdrawal
    • Obsessive rituals
    • Eating in secret

    An eating disorder can wreak havoc on your life but there’s hope. You can recover from an eating disorder with evidence-based professional support.

    How I can help

    Treatment for Eating Disorders

    As a highly experienced clinical psychologist, I've worked with many clients who have suffered from an eating disorder. Using evidence-based treatments, I've seen great results enabling people to have a healthy relationship with food and feel good about themselves.

    My therapeutic approach includes Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Training.

    START A NEW CHAPTER IN LIFE AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF
