Counselling for Eating disorders such as Anorexia, Bulimia, Orthorexia and Obesity.

In most cases, an eating disorder develops due to a combination of different factors, including body image concerns, peer pressure, exposure to the media, genetics, personality and other characteristics. However, in most cases, eating disorders also have a psychological component.

Eating disorder counselling is a form of therapy that addresses the psychological component of eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia, orthorexia and obesity. In most cases, eating disorder treatment should combine the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team that includes psychotherapists, medical professionals, therapists and nutritionists. The combined skills and communication between the treatment team members allow for a comprehensive evaluation of the client and identification of the different psychological factors that may have led to the development of and/or contributed to the maintenance of the disorder.

People can experience grief due to a variety of difficult situations, from a breakup to a major life transition to the loss of a loved one. While this emotion is common, it’s rare that two people will go through it in the same way or on the same timeline. Although there are some common stages (Denial, Anger, Sadness, Acceptance) most people will pass through, the order and duration can vary widely. That’s one reason grief counselling can be beneficial to those in this situation since a counsellor can provide personalized support and guidance to an individual throughout this challenging time.

Potential benefits of grief counselling are:

1. Emotional support: Provides a safe space to express feelings and receive compassion.
2. Coping strategies: Teaches techniques to manage intense emotions and symptoms of grief.
3. Normalization: Helps individuals understand that grief is a natural response to loss.
4. Exploration of feelings: Allows for the examination and understanding of various emotions associated with grief.
5. Prevention of complications: Identifies and addresses potential long-term effects of unresolved grief.
6. Building resilience: Develops adaptive coping skills to navigate future challenges and losses effectively.
