Courtney Kannampuzha
Registered Psychotherapist, HBSc, MA, RP-Qualifying
Eating disorders can arise for a number of reasons including stress, self-esteem issues, body image issues, addiction, learned behaviors, genetics, etc. My approach to working with clients with eating disorders is centered on the addictive aspect of it all. More often than not, the triggers and pervasive thoughts are what contribute to disordered eating, which can ultimately result in engaging in unhealthy behaviors (e.g., vomitting, binge eating, laxatives, over-exercising) to cope with such triggers/thoughts. In other words, the eating disorder is often secondary to a primary, much larger concern. By addressing these inner thoughts that spark the behavior, healthier coping mechanisms can be established that help alter the client's relationship with food.

Due to Western society’s notion of being physically thin as something to desire, it is not uncommon for people to worry about their weight. However, someone with an eating disorder experiences a constant and excessive preoccupation with their weight, it becomes the focus of their life, which can lead to mental and physical health issues.

Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
As someone who has suffered and successfully recovered from an eating disorder, I get it. I also know how complex, isolating, and serious these illnesses and their treatment can be. Reaching out for help is the hardest part, so be proud of yourself for making this first step and believing that it can get better. As your therapist, I will be sensitive and non-judgemental as we understand your thoughts and behaviours related to food, eating, weight, and shape so we can address behaviours first and create immediate positive change. Then, we will explore deeper feelings, beliefs, life-experiences, traumas, and relationships (to yourself and others) so that we can uncover what is happening at a core level in order to heal from disordered eating.
