Therapy is hard work.
Therapy for eating disorders is a form of mental health support that addresses the emotional, psychological, and behavioural aspects of disordered eating. Therapists who work in this area use compassionate, evidence-informed approaches to help clients understand their relationship with food, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward recovery at their own pace.
Anyone experiencing challenges with eating, body image, or their relationship with food may benefit from therapy. This includes people dealing with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or other patterns that feel distressing or out of control. Therapy can also support those in recovery who want continued guidance and care.
Therapy sessions focus on understanding the thoughts, feelings, and experiences connected to eating behaviours. Your therapist will work with you to explore underlying factors, develop coping skills, and build a healthier relationship with food and your body. The approach is tailored to your needs and may involve different therapeutic methods depending on what feels right for you.
Recovery is a personal journey, and the length of therapy varies for each individual. Some people benefit from longer-term support, while others may find shorter-term work helpful. Your therapist will collaborate with you to set goals and adjust the approach as you progress.
Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is essential. On First Session, you can watch therapist intro videos to get a sense of their style and approach. You can also read about their experience with eating disorders and the populations they typically work with. Feeling safe and supported is an important part of the process.
Browse therapists on First Session who support clients with eating disorders, watch their intro videos, and book directly through their profile when you're ready. You can choose between online and in-person sessions depending on what's available and what feels most comfortable for you.
