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

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Admitting that an eating disorder has developed is a very brave and courageous step. By engaging in this first step you are already beginning your recovery process. Many individuals are in denial about their eating disorder and only acknowledge their problematic behaviours once their health is severely impacted. Since the behaviours of an eating disorder are unique across individuals, the treatment plan too, is unique.
In therapy, we largely explore the meaning that you give to the eating disorder, how you developed your relationship with food, and the purpose that the eating disorder served in your life. Once you gain a deeper understanding of the cause of the eating disorder, my hope is that you view yourself through a nonjudgmental lens, which is a crucial step in the healing process.
In order to help you overcome the eating disorder, I also use a variety of therapy models, such as narrative therapy in order to separate the disorder from the person. Once you perceive the issue as separate from the self, you are more likely to activate your self-healing capacities, which is important for experiencing change and growth. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for challenging some of the thoughts that you may have about food. Once you gain insight into your personalized history of the eating disorder, as well as the resources that you have for overcoming dysfunctional eating patterns, you move further into your journey to recovery.
