What we can help you with

Eating disorders can affect anyone, at any age and any body size. Whether you have a diagnosis or are worried about your eating, you are welcome here.

Anorexia Nervosa

Support to restore nourishment and loosen the hold of fear around food and weight.

Bulimia Nervosa

Breaking the cycle of bingeing and compensatory behaviours with practical, proven strategies.

Binge Eating Disorder

Understanding what drives binge eating and building a calmer, more regular pattern of eating.

ARFID & Disordered Eating

Help with restrictive or avoidant eating, chronic dieting and eating patterns that feel out of control.

Body Image

Easing preoccupation with shape and weight, and developing a kinder relationship with your body.

Trauma & Eating

Addressing the trauma, anxiety and emotional pain that often sit underneath an eating disorder.

Recovery is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

Eating disorder therapy here starts with understanding, not judgement. Your therapist works with you to make sense of what the eating disorder is doing for you, then builds practical skills to change it. Where it helps, we work alongside your GP, dietitian and family as part of a coordinated care team.

Eating disorder therapy FAQs

Can I claim Medicare for eating disorder therapy?
Yes. With an Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan from your GP, eligible people can claim Medicare rebates for up to 40 psychological treatment sessions in a 12 month period. A Mental Health Treatment Plan may also apply. Ask your GP which plan suits you.
Do I need a diagnosis to get help?
No. If food, eating or your body are causing you distress, that is reason enough to reach out. Your therapist will help you understand what is going on, whatever label it has.
Do you see adolescents?
Yes. We support adolescents and adults, and for young people we usually involve parents or carers, as family support is one of the strongest predictors of recovery.
Will you work with my GP or dietitian?
Yes. Eating disorder recovery works best with a coordinated team. With your consent, we liaise with your GP, dietitian and any other health professionals involved in your care.
What happens in the first session?
Your first session is a chance to talk about what has been happening, at a pace that feels manageable. Your therapist will ask about your history and goals, and together you will plan the next steps.
