Empowering Recovery Through Psychotherapy for Eating Disorders
At Health Triangle, we understand the deep emotional and psychological struggles that accompany eating disorders. Whether you are living with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or another disordered eating pattern, these conditions are not simply about food or weight—they are complex psychological challenges that reflect deeper emotional pain, self-worth struggles, and difficulties with control, identity, and relationships.
Our psychotherapy services are grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and evidence-based care. We work collaboratively with individuals and families to support healing, promote self-compassion, and restore a healthier relationship with food, body, and self.
Understanding Eating Disorders: Beyond the Surface
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. They often arise as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, trauma, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or a sense of disconnection from oneself or others. Over time, the disordered behaviours can become deeply entrenched, damaging physical health, relationships, and psychological well-being.
Common features of eating disorders include:
- Anorexia Nervosa: intense fear of gaining weight, distorted body image, and significant restriction of food intake, often resulting in dangerously low body weight.
- Bulimia Nervosa: cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviours such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or laxative use.
- Binge Eating Disorder: recurrent episodes of consuming large amounts of food accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt, and loss of control, without purging.
- Other disordered eating patterns: including orthorexia, emotional eating, or chronic dieting.
At Health Triangle, we see the person behind the diagnosis. We understand that eating disorders are not choices—they are coping mechanisms that deserve understanding, not judgment.
Individualised Psychotherapy for Eating Disorder Recovery
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing from an eating disorder. Our therapy is tailored to your unique needs, history, and readiness for change. We create a safe, respectful space for you to explore the underlying emotional patterns and beliefs driving disordered eating, while also building practical tools for recovery.
Your care may include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E), a specialised and evidence-based model for addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours around food and body image.
- Psychodynamic or insight-oriented therapy to explore relational wounds, trauma, and emotional conflicts that may contribute to the eating disorder.
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques for managing intense emotions and developing healthier coping strategies.
- Mindfulness and body-awareness practices to support reconnection with hunger cues, embodiment, and emotional regulation.
- Self-compassion and identity work, helping you move from shame and self-criticism toward acceptance and inner strength.
A Holistic, Compassionate Approach to Recovery
Eating disorders affect not only the body, but also your sense of identity, belonging, and self-worth. Our holistic care model addresses the emotional, relational, and physical aspects of recovery, empowering you to move beyond symptoms and toward meaningful healing.
We support you to:
- Rebuild a sense of safety and trust in your body
- Explore the emotional function of disordered eating patterns
- Navigate co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or perfectionism
- Strengthen resilience and emotional regulation
- Reconnect with your values, passions, and relationships outside the eating disorder
Our therapists work in collaboration with dietitians, GPs, and specialist services when needed, ensuring an integrated and ethical approach to care.
Support for Families and Loved Ones
Eating disorders can be incredibly isolating—for both individuals and their families. We offer guidance, education, and therapeutic support for:
- Parents and carers supporting a loved one through recovery
- Partners and siblings navigating the emotional toll of disordered eating in the home
- Family-based approaches that foster understanding, communication, and healing
You are not alone in this journey—and you do not have to carry it all by yourself.
A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space for Healing
At Health Triangle, we provide a warm, inclusive, and confidential space where you can safely explore your relationship with food, body, and self. We understand the shame and secrecy that often accompany eating disorders, and we meet you with deep respect and empathy.
Recovery is not about perfection—it’s about finding your way back to connection, self-trust, and emotional freedom.
We believe in your capacity to heal. You are not defined by your eating disorder. You are worthy of a life grounded in peace, nourishment, and self-acceptance.
