Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Many eating disorders co-occur with trauma, depression and enmeshment with abusive systems or individuals, so we offer support for recovering from these complex experiences as part of addiction recovery. Addiction and restriction recovery includes deeply compassionate work with IFS, Polyvagal and Addiction Circles mapping to develop awareness and work through both original trauma based adaptations and compounded adaptive behavior. Utilizing this novel approach, recovery can be a path to deeper self care, compassion and meaning and can reveal more ease and connection with others. From a functional health perspective, common dietary trends, challenging factory farming practices, and environmental toxins can also play a role in setting on and deepening and ED or disordered eating. So sometimes addressing a nutritional deficiency or chemical toxin may be important to do in a way that is sensitive to the psychology of living with an ED. Over time many clients may move into a next phase of becoming more broad in their dietary choices and/or lovingly becoming friends with their body, goals can vary. If the ED is a compulsion, we can also apply remote TCM, CranioSacral and Functional or Integrative support if asked for. Please feel free to ask if you have questions.

Eating Disorders
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Eating disorders can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you, reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how your eating disorder feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Eating Disorders
Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
The generalised term “eating disorder” can cover many forms of unusual, or atypical eating habits and also includes disordered, or distorted body image (body dysmorphia) and even, possibly, addiction to exercise. Eating disorders can effect both men and women and it has been estimated to affect anything up to 5% of all people at some point in their lives, with a relatively greater propensity amongst older adolescent boys and younger men. Other eating disorders may also include behaviours such as the compulsion to exercise excessively, or a negative, or distorted body image, as well as obsessive thoughts, habits and behaviours surrounding various aspects of food.
Relational psychotherapy can generate the opportunity with eating disorders to examine and explore any possibly deep-rooted emotional explanations that may have contributed to issues around food, exercise and body image. With eating disorders, relational psychotherapy creates the opportunity to possibly identify any such sensitive areas and instigate a process to overcome troubling, obsessive or destructive behaviours in a supportively safe space. My private practice has successfully provided a guided and structured approach – comprising both cognitive interventions and practical strategies – to support clients as they initialise a process to create a healthier relationship for themselves with both food and their bodies.

Brittany Statler, Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Headline: From Survival to Sovereignty: Reclaiming Your Body and Your Life
The Cycle Ends Here
Eating disorders often start as a way to find safety or control, but eventually, they become the very thing that keeps you trapped. If you are tired of the mental gymnastics of food-tracking and the exhausting disconnect from your own body, there is another way. I specialize in helping individuals move beyond "just getting by" and into a state of true embodied recovery.
My Integrated Approach: Mind & Body
I don’t just treat your thoughts; I work with your whole self. By combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Somatic (Body-Based) Approaches, we address recovery from two essential angles:
Mind (ACT): We work on psychological flexibility—learning how to let go of the "tug-of-war" with critical thoughts and rigid rules. Instead of fighting your emotions, we identify your core values and use them as a compass to take bold, life-affirming actions.
Body (Somatic): Eating disorders thrive on a disconnect from physical sensations. We use somatic tools to gently rebuild body trust. By learning to listen to your nervous system rather than your eating disorder or past messages so you can learn to safely connect to your body to reach true recovery.

Eating Disorders
Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
An eating disorder is rarely just about food. It is often a response to emotional pain, perfectionism, anxiety, trauma, or a need to regain a sense of control. Together, we'll explore the patterns beneath the behaviors with curiosity rather than judgment, helping you better understand your emotions, strengthen coping skills, and rebuild trust in yourself. My goal is to help you move toward a healthier relationship with food, your body, and your sense of self while supporting lasting emotional healing. When appropriate, I work collaboratively with physicians, therapists, and registered dietitians to ensure you receive comprehensive care.

Brighton has one of the largest and most visible LGBTQ+ communities in the United Kingdom, and its therapy community reflects this — with high demand for affirming therapists who specialize in queer identity, non-traditional relationship structures, gender diversity, and the intersection of LGBTQ+ experience with mental health. The city's two universities — the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex — generate significant student mental health demand and a progressive, intellectually engaged population that generally views therapy favorably. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a strong private therapy community concentrated in the Lanes, Kemptown, and Hove. Brighton's coastal character and arts-oriented culture support a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs around identity, purpose, and economic precarity.
