Disordered Eating

Disordered eating refers to a range of irregular eating behaviours that may not warrant a specific eating disorder diagnosis but still cause significant distress and negatively impact health. These behaviours can include chronic dieting, binge eating, food restriction, or an unhealthy preoccupation with food, body weight, and shape. Early recognition and support from healthcare professionals, including dietitians and mental health professionals, are crucial in addressing disordered eating and promoting a healthy relationship with food.

As a Clinical & Health Psychologist, I am trained under the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model. I have an interest in the natural therapies, take a holistic view of emotional wellbeing, and I have an integrated eclectic therapeutic style. I have a degree in the Behavioural Sciences (Psychology) with Honours and I completed my Doctor of Health Psychology in 2012 at La Trobe University. I am a Fellow Member of the Australian Psychological Society‚'s Clinical and Health Colleges, and I am a registered Psychologist with A.P.H.P.R.A. I have a long history in human resources, training, occupational rehabilitation, and health psychology at a leading general hospital. My doctoral thesis explored the use of motivational strategies to support effective health behaviour change. I also completed additional training through Deakin University to provide Clinical Psychology Services. I have been in private practice since 2004 and I draw on evidence-based strategies to treat a range of emotional imbalances, including helping clients to change their unhealthy habits and self-defeating behaviours. The work I do with clients is to inspire them to grow their potential and live a meaningful, balanced life. I educate and provide strategies to help them challenge their self-limiting beliefs, nurture their strengths, and learn to live by their principal values. In doing so, I help clients to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. In collaborating with my clients to achieve a balanced sense of self, we work towards attaining a healthy mind and a healthy body. We also explore what‚'s possible in realising a purposeful, fully self-expressed life.

The Butterfly Foundation

An online platform for Australians who are struggling with, or is connected to someone who struggles from an eating disorder or body image issues. the Butterfly Foundation has a National helpline offers free and confidential support for anyone concerned about these issues. Their website also includes connecting users to practitioners, online articles and further resources about eating disorders.

What is a
Disordered Eating Practitioner

Disordered eating practitioners come from a range of backgrounds and help people build a healthier relationship with food and their body. A GP is a good first step: they can check your physical health and make a Mental Health Treatment Plan for Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions. Psychologists provide talking therapies, and dietitians with eating disorder experience help with regular, adequate eating. Psychiatrists may help with more complex needs; you need a GP referral to claim a Medicare rebate. Counsellors and psychotherapists can also provide support.

Getting Help With Disordered Eating

Physical Health Checks

Disordered eating can affect your heart, bones, hormones and energy, even if your weight seems in a healthy range. A GP can check your physical health, order blood tests and look for warning signs, so problems are picked up early.
Health Hunter

Talking Therapy

Health Hunter
A psychologist can help you understand the thoughts, feelings and patterns behind disordered eating, such as dieting, bingeing or worry about body shape. Therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help you cope with difficult emotions.

Regular Eating Support

Health Hunter
A dietitian with experience in disordered eating can help you move away from strict food rules and build regular, balanced meals. They focus on nourishing your body and reducing fear around food, rather than on weight loss or dieting.

Body Image

Health Hunter
Worry about weight and shape often sits at the heart of disordered eating. Psychologists and counsellors can help you challenge negative thoughts about your body, reduce comparison with others, and build self-esteem that is not tied to how you look.

Support for Families

Health Hunter
Family and friends play an important role in recovery. For young people, family-based treatment involves parents in supporting regular eating at home. Practitioners can help carers respond in helpful ways and look after their own wellbeing.

Getting Help Early

Health Hunter
Early support can make recovery easier. If you are worried about yourself or someone else, see a GP or call the Butterfly Foundation helpline on 1800 33 4673. For fainting, chest pain or feeling very unwell, call 000.
