Counselling for Eating Disorders

Struggling with an eating disorder can be an overwhelming and isolating experience, often impacting both physical health and emotional wellbeing.

Disorders such as Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, Purging, and Body Dysmorphia are complex conditions that require understanding and specialised support.

At York Therapy Clinic, we provide expert eating disorder therapy in York to help individuals work through these challenges.

Our experienced team of psychologists, counsellors and therapists provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment to help you or your loved one take the first steps toward recovery.

Types of Eating Disorders

Eating disorders manifest in different ways, and can often lead to other problems such as depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety. 

Counselling for eating disorders at York Therapy Clinic can help you work through these difficulties, as well as focusing on the specific problems and difficulties that come with dissatisfaction with body image, and eating symptoms.

Below are some common types of eating disorders we can help with:

  • Early Stage Anorexia: Characterised by intense food restriction, an extreme fear of weight gain, and a distorted self-perception. It can lead to severe physical health problems due to low body weight (please note that if BMI is low, we may clients refer to NHS services)
  • Bulimia: Involves cycles of overeating followed by purging behaviours (such as vomiting or excessive exercise) to control weight, often accompanied by guilt and shame.
  • Binge Eating Disorder: Includes consuming large amounts of food in a short period, often resulting in feelings of shame or distress afterward.
  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD): Focuses on an obsession with perceived flaws in appearance, which can lead to high levels of anxiety and discomfort.
  • Other Eating Distress: Includes purging behaviours or disordered eating habits that don’t fall neatly into the above categories.

Regardless of the nature of your struggle, our therapists and counsellors in York are here to support you with tailored therapy and understanding care so that you can work through your eating difficulties in a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental way.
