If you are struggling with an eating disorder, food and your body may feel like a constant battle. You might find yourself restricting, bingeing, purging, or obsessing over weight, shape, or control. What may appear to others as discipline or preference can feel internally like anxiety, shame, or a loss of control. Eating disorders are not about vanity. They are often rooted in deeper pain, trauma, perfectionism, or a need for safety and stability.
At Selah Counselling, we approach eating disorders with compassion, structure, and clinical care. We understand the complexity of these patterns and the courage it takes to seek help. Our work focuses on restoring a regulated relationship with food and your body, addressing underlying emotional triggers, and strengthening identity beyond appearance or performance. When appropriate, we collaborate with medical professionals and dietitians to support your overall health. The goal is not simply behaviour change, but healing that allows you to experience nourishment, steadiness, and freedom in a sustainable way.

Lorna Barnes, Oak Tree Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CT, CPC
Eating disorders can develop when a child lacks validation, nurture and support and when they've experienced bullying, neglect or abuse. Counselling will look to validate and build self-worth, to encourage clients to find an accountability partner, to get medical care, and possibly a treatment program specializing in eating disorders.

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that involve abnormal and disturbed eating behaviors. Common types of eating disorders include Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder. These disorders can cause serious physical and psychological consequences, including malnutrition, organ damage, and an increased risk of depression and anxiety. Eating disorders often stem from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors and can be influenced by cultural and societal pressures.
Treatment for eating disorders usually involves a combination of psychotherapy and medical intervention. Psychotherapy can help individuals understand and manage the underlying emotions and thoughts that contribute to their eating disorder and support them in developing healthy coping mechanisms. It is important to seek help from a licensed mental health professional if you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, as early intervention is crucial for a successful recovery.

Emotional Eating & Weight Loss Do you want to lose weight, tone up, and increase your muscle mass, along with learning how to manage your emotional eating? Not knowing how to cope with our feelings we often do something that feels good like having a delicious snack. Food provides a source of soothing, comforting, nurturing, and distraction from whatever problem exists. So, it serves as an escape . As a counsellor I can help you deal with these issues as opposed to avoiding them.
As we become flooded with neurotransmitters, due to eating down our feelings, a sense of euphoria results and craving for more is stimulated, along with our need to continue to maintain those unhealthy habits. In addition to teaching clients the HALT method for overcoming emotional eating, as a counsellor who is well versed in fitness, and healthy eating, I would be pleased to guide and support you in developing your own personal plan to achieve your weight loss and fitness goals.
