Eating Disorders
Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
I happen to be very experienced with treating eating disorders of all sorts. Having been surrounded by them during my years as a professional dancer and in the modelling world, enables me to understand the patterns deeply. Often the body needs various kinds of support. Depending on the body facts and life situation, I may insist that a client needs to see a medical professional regularly in order to work together with me. I guide you to face the underlying shadows and subconscious reasons for the disorder, gently but firmly develop understanding and love for yourself and the very shadows and inner monsters will become the source of healing.

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
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.

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.

Swansea is Wales's second city and a coastal university town — home to Swansea University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David — generating significant student mental health demand and academic training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. The city has a distinct Welsh identity, and a meaningful number of residents prefer Welsh-language therapy, particularly for emotionally complex work best expressed in their first language. Swansea Bay University Health Board provides NHS mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Sketty, Uplands, and the Marina. Swansea's post-industrial character — shaped by the decline of its copper smelting and coal industries — means therapists frequently work with intergenerational economic stress and community resilience themes.
