Hypnotherapy for Eating Disorders Harley Street, London

If your relationship with food has become a serious problem — restriction that’s gone too far, bingeing you can’t stop, purging, or any combination — please know that effective treatment exists. The first question to answer is whether what you’re dealing with needs specialist clinical care.

What needs specialist care

For diagnosed eating disorders — anorexia, bulimia or severe binge eating disorder — the recommended primary treatment is specialist eating disorder services, usually through the NHS or specialist private clinics. These provide medical monitoring, dietitian input and therapy delivered by clinicians specifically trained in eating disorder work.

I’m not an eating disorder specialist. If you have a diagnosis or your symptoms are severe, such as very low BMI, daily bingeing or purging, or medical complications, please get specialist support first.

What I can help with

For sub-clinical disordered eating patterns — uncomplicated binge eating, emotional eating, food anxiety, or recovery maintenance after specialist treatment — hypnotherapy can be a useful tool.

Sessions combine clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and coaching, working on the emotional drivers of eating patterns rather than the food itself.
