Finding Freedom From Eating Disorders

At Be Kind To Yourself, I understand the challenges of living with an eating disorder, eating difficulties or body image concerns.

This is where your journey towards a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food, your body and yourself can begin.

A Safe Space For Reflection

I provide a supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and eating patterns without shame.

Developing Coping Strategies

Together, we will develop practical strategies to manage urges, emotional triggers, food anxiety, body image distress and difficult moments with more resilience.

Improving Your Relationship With Food

We will work together towards a more balanced, flexible and compassionate relationship with food, eating and your body.

What CBT For Eating Disorders Can Support With

Eating difficulties can show up in different ways, and you may not always know exactly what to call what you are experiencing.

CBT for eating disorders can support you in understanding these patterns and working towards healthier, more manageable ways of relating to food, your body and yourself.

  • Binge eating
  • Bulimia nervosa
  • Anorexia nervosa
  • Restrictive eating patterns
  • Emotional eating
  • Food anxiety
  • Body image concerns
  • Binge–purge cycles
  • Compensatory behaviours
  • Shame, guilt and self-criticism around food

You Are Not Alone In This Journey

Many people experience eating disorders, eating difficulties and body image distress.

Recovery can feel difficult to imagine when you are in the middle of it, but support is available and you do not have to take the next step alone.
