Are you struggling with disordered eating patterns or a negative relationship with food and your body? At Mayfair Therapy in London, we offer compassionate and specialised therapy to support your recovery from eating disorders.

Understanding Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions characterised by disturbances in eating behaviours and related thoughts and emotions. Common types of eating disorders include:

• Anorexia Nervosa: Characterised by restricting food intake, intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image.

• Bulimia Nervosa: Characterised by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviours such as vomiting, excessive exercise, or misuse of laxatives.

• Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Characterised by recurrent episodes of binge eating without compensatory behaviours.

• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED): Includes eating behaviours that cause significant distress but do not meet the full criteria for anorexia, bulimia, or BED.

Therapeutic Approaches for Eating Disorders

We offer various therapeutic approaches to address eating disorders, including:

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Teaches skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress, which can be helpful in managing eating disorder symptoms.
