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.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I am here to support you whether you have an eating disorder or you can see there is some unhelpful patterning going on with your relationship with food. I have worked a great deal with the whole spectrum and have seen real success for people through therapy. This includes processing of one's familial history and messaging around food and weight and the impact this has had, skills around managing difficult thoughts and emotions, addressing fears around weight gain/giving up control and getting clear around what is important to you and how your relationship with your food and body may be getting in the way.
