Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
Eating disorders are one of the most challenging conditions for psychologists to treat. There are many causes and many manifestations. I take an individual approach based upon the history, the client's circumstances, and the way in which the disorder presents itself.

Registered Psychotherapist, Rev, DD (hon), DMin, Various Dips & Certs.
Eating disorders are quite deep and are one of the hardest issues to work with in psychological terms. so many problems may cause the symptoms but with many years of experience we have many tools in the bag to help. It can be simply a cry for help or a way the mind used to develop a coping mechanism against controlling parent(s) or to arm oneself from systematic abuse or fears. So many causes but many solutions on the table for us to use.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
For the first time in human existence, we are suffering from consuming too much, rather than too little. I have experienced substantial weight loss myself. We tend to eat for the benefit of our taste-buds rather than our nutritional needs, and/or eat for comfort rather than our health; short-term tasty pleasures have long-term consequences. Which you know.

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.

I work with clients to find root causes of their eating disorders and help them get better. I’m specializing in eating disorders currently and am seeing fantastic results with using RTT Rapid Transformation Therapy for eating disorders. It can lead to greater appetite around meal time, increased coping skills and feeling less anxious about food.
