- You can’t tell if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them (people with eating disorders can be underweight, normal weight or overweight)
- Family members can be one of the best support sources in your journey towards recovery

- We are here to support you every step of the way as every step counts
Treatment may involve a combination of different types of therapies

EATING DISORDER ONLINE GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS
Upcoming interactive webinar series for carers & clients
Discover the power of including supports in eating disorder treatment.
Our online webinar series is based on evidence based eating disorder treatment principles, adopting principles of Cognitive Based Therapy – Enhanced, Family Based Therapy & Temperament-Based Therapy with Supports (TBT-S).
Many eating disorder treatments focus on symptom elimination rather than focusing on the root causes.
The TBT-S perspective is that eating disorders are biologically based illnesses that can be better understood through understanding and targeting the individual’s unique temperament. TBT-S does this by addressing neurobiological alterations, treating to the traits, and including supports.
TBT-S is not a stand-alone therapy, rather it forms a solid platform for both the client and their supports to grow from while undergoing other forms of therapy.
Register your interest for our upcoming online group therapy sessions which will address neurobiological alterations, tailoring treatment to traits, and specifically how your supports can assist in the recovery journey.
Sessions will be facilitated by experienced psychologists and dieticians.
