Eating disorders are serious but treatable conditions. Early treatment improves both physical health and long-term recovery.
Eating disorders affect people of all ages and body types. Treatment addresses eating patterns, physical health, and the underlying emotional difficulties.
What are eating disorders?
Eating disorders involve disturbed eating patterns and intense concern about weight, shape, or food. They affect physical health as well as mood and thinking, and often occur alongside anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.
When to seek help for eating disorders
Recognising the signs and knowing when support can help
If eating patterns are restricted or out of control, if weight has changed significantly, or if thoughts about food and body shape dominate the day, seek assessment promptly.
Eating disorders we treat
Anorexia Nervosa
Restriction of food intake leading to significantly low weight, with intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted view of body shape.
Bulimia Nervosa
Episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviour such as vomiting, laxative use, or excessive exercise.
Binge Eating Disorder
Recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food with a sense of loss of control, followed by distress, guilt, or shame.
Avoidant/Restrictive Eating
Limited food intake due to sensory sensitivity, fear of choking, or lack of interest, leading to nutritional deficiency.
Body Image Concerns
Preoccupation with weight or shape that causes distress and may drive restrictive eating or excessive exercise.
Associated Mood and Anxiety
Depression, anxiety, or obsessive symptoms that commonly occur with eating disorders and are treated alongside them.
