Most eating disorders start from early childhood / developmental trauma. Finding out why you eat, how it is trying to help you etc., can help you to heal the ED in a way that it can support you differently and no longer hurt you.

My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Food is everywhere! It taunts us, lures us, keeps us hooked with sugars and fats. It creates a satiety for a moment that feels like a big sigh or deep released breath. But it has consequences and does damage. It is the necessary that can be addictive also. It impacts health and image as well as physical feelings. It spills over into our emotional well-being too. We can't run from it and we feel victimized when we can't enjoy it like we see others doing. Any of this sound familiar? I hear you, binge eating was my go to for decades, eating was a social safety clutch and my way to dong something that even if it hurt, stopped other cravings for a short time. Our value system scattered and belief system unsure we brave each day thinking maybe today I can change. Lets chat about it

Eating disorders unveils a poignant narrative of disordered eating as a coping mechanism rooted in early relational patterns and past traumas. Shaped by experiences of attachment insecurity and emotional neglect, individuals may turn to food or restrictive behaviours to numb the pain or regain a sense of control. Like a silent scream, the cycle of disordered eating echoes the unmet emotional needs and the scars of past hurts, manifesting as a distorted relationship with food and body image. Therapy offers a sanctuary for exploration, providing a safe space to unpack the complexities of attachment dynamics and process the underlying trauma. By nurturing compassionate connections and addressing the root causes of distress, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of their eating disorder, reclaiming agency over their bodies and rediscovering a sense of self-worth and nourishment beyond the plate.
