EATING DISORDERS
The term ‘eating disorder’ is an umbrella term, used to indicate any one of a number of complex mental health issues with harmful side effects. These can range from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and FEDNEC (Feeding & Eating Disorders Not Elsewhere Classified) Sub-clinical types of related disorders are referred to as ‘disordered eating. These may also include, Compulsive Eating, The Night Eating Syndrome and Orthorexia. An eating disorder can change over time and may begin with restriction and evolve into binge eating or vice versa.
So simply put, an eating disorder or disordered eating are conditions in which food, weight, body shape or size becomes a way of controlling and coping with distress. Eating disorders affect both males and females and the majority of eating disorders begin in puberty but, there is also evidence of onset throughout the lifespan, including in later life.
As a qualified counsellor, I have undertaken additional and specialist training through the National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCfED) and completed the Master Practitioner Diploma, which is approved by the British Psychological Society. My training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support a client who is experiencing or presenting with an eating disorder/disordered eating in addition to implementing nutritional intervention. I am part of the NCfED Therapists Network and Beat.
