Eating Disorder Counselling and Weight Loss/Body Image at Harley Therapy London
Many of us are obsessed with body image and weight control. Problems can arise through excessive dieting, fasting, exercising, calorie-counting, laxatives and purging.
What is Eating Disorder Counselling & Psychotherapy?
Counselling and Psychotherapy can help with psychological causes of food-related problems such as comfort eating, pre-occupation with weight, binge-dieting, negative body image and eating disorders such as bulimia.
At Harley Therapy London, we will work to address the underlying causes of the issue. Eating disorder counselling may also adopt cognitive behavioural therapy techniques such as goal setting, food diaries and thought monitoring.
Anorexia can be very difficult to treat and often requires medical support, which therapists working at Halrey Therapy are unable to provide. Therefore we do not take on severe cases of anorexia for counselling.
