Let's talk about
Eating Disorder
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that affect a person’s relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. They can involve restrictive eating, binge eating, or unhealthy compensatory behaviours such as purging or excessive exercise. Eating disorders can have severe physical and emotional consequences, but recovery is possible with the right support.
Key characteristics of eating disorders include:
Preoccupation with weight, food, or body image.
Restricting food intake or following extreme dieting behaviours.
Episodes of binge eating followed by guilt or shame.
Compensatory behaviours such as purging or excessive exercise.
Feelings of distress, guilt, or anxiety around eating.
With the right support, eating disorder therapy can help individuals rebuild a healthy relationship with food and self-image.
WHAT DOES AN EATING DISORDER FEEL LIKE?
Living with an eating disorder can feel overwhelming, as thoughts about food, weight, and body image dominate daily life. Many people describe feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety around eating, making it difficult to enjoy meals or feel comfortable in their own skin.
The experience of an eating disorder may include:
Constantly thinking about food, calories, or weight.
Feeling out of control when eating or avoiding food altogether.
Using food as a way to cope with emotions.
Experiencing distress when looking in the mirror or after eating.
Eating disorders can feel isolating, but recognising symptoms is the first step toward healing.
HOW TO OVERCOME AN EATING DISORDER WITH THERAPY
Therapy is a key part of recovery, helping individuals understand their eating behaviours and develop a healthier mindset. Eating disorder counselling provides a structured and supportive approach to healing. At HeadHealth, we match individuals with therapists who specialise in eating disorder recovery.
Through therapy, you can:
Explore the emotional and psychological factors behind disordered eating.
Develop healthier eating habits and a more positive body image.
Learn coping strategies to manage anxiety around food.
Work through underlying self-esteem and control issues.
Evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and nutritional counselling can help individuals regain control over their eating patterns and improve their overall well-being. A therapist will work alongside you to create a personalised recovery plan.
Eating disorders can be difficult to manage alone, but with the right support, recovery is possible. HeadHealth is here to help you every step of the way.
