Find Your Path to Healing
Compassionate CBT for eating disorders, eating difficulties and body image concerns.
Online and in Hertfordshire
Welcome to BeKindToYourself, a safe and compassionate space for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for eating difficulties, eating disorders and body image issues.
If you feel you struggle with food, have an increased preoccupation with body weight, size or shape, isolate yourself, or feel that you are missing out on the good parts of life, then you are in the right place.
I would like to invite you to join me in exploring how a tailored CBT approach can support your journey towards recovery, emotional well-being and a healthier relationship with food, your mind and your body.
This space is for you, providing safety, understanding and support as you begin to build a kinder relationship with yourself.
Support for eating difficulties, eating disorders and body image concerns
At BeKindToYourself, I offer individual CBT sessions and therapeutic support groups for people experiencing eating difficulties, eating disorders and body image concerns, online and in Hertfordshire.
The sessions are designed to help you understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours linked to eating difficulties, eating disorders and body image concerns, fostering a positive and sustainable recovery.
Individual CBT Sessions
Personalised one-to-one CBT therapy sessions tailored to your specific needs, focusing on effective strategies for managing and overcoming eating difficulties, eating disorders and body image challenges.
What the therapy offers:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Eating Disorders is a structured, goal-oriented intervention, often delivered over a number of individual sessions. Depending on your needs, CBT-E informed therapy may take place over approximately 20 to 40 sessions, allowing time to understand the difficulty, develop practical skills and support meaningful change.
Who it is for:
The treatment is tailored to each person’s specific needs and focuses on developing a portfolio of practical skills. These skills aim to reduce eating disorder symptoms, improve body acceptance, and decrease or eliminate compensatory behaviours. Ultimately, CBT works to support long-term change by helping individuals modify unhelpful thought patterns and develop a healthier mindset.
I adopt an integrative approach, incorporating techniques from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema Therapy within my interventions.
