Counsellors

Eating disorders are complex and multi-faceted illnesses, for which treatment involves medical, psychological and practical support simultaneously. Counselling is a key part of the recovery process, helping a person with their emotional and psychological needs, addressing the underlying root causes and equipping them with the strategies for moving forwards in their journey.
