What is an eating disorder?

Bulimia Nervosa, commonly referred to as bulimia, is characterised by experiencing loss of control in the form of binge eating, often in secret, and feeling very guilty and shameful. Purging, which is the attempt to get rid of the food and extra calories in an unhealthy way, such as vomiting or misusing laxatives, is also frequently present. Bulimia Nervosa is also characterised by excessive focus on weight and body shape even when trying to think about other things. Harsh judgements and noticing flaws in your appearance and personality are also common.

Benefits of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence based, goal-oriented and collaborative psychological therapy approach that focuses on understanding the past and present connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours (termed the ‘formulation’). It also offers powerful tools, strategies, and techniques to identify, challenge and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and associated feelings and behaviours, helping to significantly improve mental health and quality of life.
