What does eating disorder counselling involve?
Compulsive eating and bulimia respond well to a form of therapy called CBT adapted for eating disorders. NCFED therapists are trained in this therapy and they also have many more skills to work holistically with you as a whole person. In this way we can deal with the surface behaviour, and the emotions, self worth, body image problems, nutritional issues and food addictions which get in the way of a comfortable relationship with food. The success of counselling for anorexia is based on building a sound relationship with a therapist, who fully understands the condition; can both respect and challenge the mindset of the illness; with the skills to help you to stay safe, build your emotional potential, and reclaim a sense of control with life and other people.
