Counselling for Eating Disorders

This can include restricting your portions or the type of food you eat, purging through exercise or making yourself sick, or even over-eating to the point of making yourself feel unwell.

These problems with food can often have an impact on the rest of your life, leading to a vicious cycle of anxiety and depression. Thankfully, we have trained therapists on hand to help you come to terms with the negative feelings you associate with food and teach you how to overcome the negative cycle of tying it to your emotions.

Private Therapy for Anorexia

Anorexia is one of the most common types of eating disorder, and is classified as a restriction of food intake, often leading to low body weight. However – someone doesn’t always have to have a low BMI to be anorexic.

What you eat is incredibly important to how your body functions, so it’s important at any stage of your Eating Disorder journey to seek help to try and correct problematic behaviours around food.

We have trained counsellors with a wealth of experience about anorexia nervosa, They use specialised techniques to tap into the specific problems patients deal with cognitively and emotionally, as well as aiming to support you with a healthy, balanced diet to help you lay solid foundations for your future.

Private Binge Eating Disorder Therapy

Ready Health also offers therapy for Binge Eating Disorder (BED), which is characterised by eating large quantities of food in a short space of time. This can often (but not always) lead to weight gain and feelings of shame – especially if the food is low in nutritious values.

Our private therapy rooms offer a confidential space for you to fully open up about your thoughts and feelings in a completely judgement-free zone.

We understand that nobody chooses to have an eating disorder, and we’ll work with you towards the same goal of improving your relationship with food so you can enjoy things in moderation without worry.

Private Therapy for Bulimia

Therapy for Bulimia uses similar techniques to those used for anorexia and binge eating disorder. You don’t need a referral from your NHS GP to access private eating disorder therapy, just book a session with us via our appointment portal and chat to one of our specially trained therapists about the specific issues you want to work on.
