Eating Disorder Counselling
You wake up and hope you can manage against food desires but you too often fail. The food noise in your head overwhelms you. You isolate and struggle alone, possibly unsure if you're "sick enough" to reach out. Your relationship with food and your body causes you distress. You want freedom from it though it can seem hard to explain.
​​
You are not alone. You don't need to struggle alone. I have specialized in eating disorders for over 25 years. I can guide and support you.
​
Recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating is a healing and strengthening journey. You have been told or believe all it takes is will power. In some ways that's true, but it's the things hiding beneath the surface, beneath the visible symptoms of food, body distress and exercise compulsion that causes the craving. Therapy allows someone to walk with you, to offer you specialized guidance.
​
Your eating disorder helped you manage what you did not know how to. The beautiful thing is now something new is emerging, something new wants to explore the possibility of recovery or is calling out for it.
​
Specialized therapy for eating disorders and disordered eating allows someone to walk with you and guide you. A therapist can help you explore how to heal your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. ​​
