Eating Disorders
Eating Disorder Therapy Bowral
If you’re experiencing distress around food, eating patterns or body image it’s important to know that this is not uncommon and that treatment can be powerfully effective and liberating. It may also surprise you to know that eating behaviours and habits are not separate from the bigger picture of who you are as a person. Exploring what’s driving these eating patterns and behaviours is the key to unlocking this often relentless and entrenched phenomenon.
This is gently uncovered during eating disorder therapy in Bowral.
Types of Eating Disorders
There are different types of eating disorders that affect adults and adolescents:
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Binge eating
- Emotional eating
- Restrictive eating
- Body image concerns
- Long-term dieting patterns
Psychotherapy and Counselling
Eating disorders are complex and often tied to anxiety, depression, relational trauma, and you perceive your own sense of self. Together, gently we work at your comfort level to focus on both emotions and behaviours that keep the cycle going.
Outcomes from Eating Disorder Treatment
- Reduce obsessive thoughts about food and weight
- Understand emotional triggers and patterns
- Strengthen coping skills
- Improve body image and self-worth
- Build a healthier, more balanced relationship with food
Recovery is possible, and it starts with safe, ongoing support.
Take the First Step
You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. If food or weight is affecting your well-being, therapy can help and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Choosing the right therapist is an important part of recovery. Laura Wilson brings both clinical training and genuine care to her work with clients. Laura tailors therapy to each individual, recognising that every person’s experience with an eating disorder is different.
