Gordon Wax BA HONS MBACP
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
I help people understand food from the oral and anal stage of sychological development. We learn about behaviour around eating and ways to respect and enjoy food in healthier way. Often it's not food that's a problem but a side effect.

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.

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.

Jason Fletcher Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
Eating disorder work explores the emotional and relational patterns that often sit beneath behaviours around food, control, and self-worth. I support people in developing greater awareness, emotional regulation, and compassion towards themselves. The focus is on building stability and a healthier relationship with needs and emotions.

Preston is Lancashire's county town and a city shaped by its industrial past — once a major cotton manufacturing center — that has evolved into a hub for public services, healthcare, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the UK's largest universities. UCLan's significant student population generates consistent mental health demand and clinical training pipelines, and the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services. Preston's large South Asian and Eastern European communities — including one of the UK's largest Gujarati communities — drive sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists. The city's working-class character and post-industrial economic challenges mean therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational family dynamics alongside student and professional concerns.
