Does Food and Eating Rule Your Life?

Do you often feel like your relationship with food often makes you feel outside of relationships and on the periphery of life?

Do you feel your true self is hidden behind your relationship with food?

Or are you worried about someone close to you?

Ask yourself the questions opposite. If your answer to the questions is ‘yes’, you may need specialised therapy to help overcome your preoccupation with food

If you have answered yes to any of the aside questions then we can help you or those you are concerned about with your eating issues. It is however essential that you or the person you are worried about is properly assessed and if necessary, helped in partnership with a GP, nutritionist and other appropriate professionals. This is particularly so if someone, particularly a child is at serious risk of harm.

Recovery is possible and you can with help to be set free from the turmoil of compulsive eating, bulimia and anorexia. You can beat your Eating Disorder and transform your relationship with food! Recovery from an eating disorder is not just about food, which is what you will discover as you progress through your therapy.
