Eating disorders

Eating disorders are complex, serious illnesses that are not just a ‘fad’ or ‘phase’. They can affect a person’s physical and emotional health and threaten their life. Recovery from an eating disorder is possible with timely and appropriate eating disorder treatment.

Theta Psychology sees people of all ages experiencing a range of eating disorders. These include:

  • Anorexia nervosa
  • Bulimia nervosa
  • Binge eating disorder
  • Other specified feeding disorders or OSFED (such as atypical anorexia nervosa)
  • Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)

Eating Disorders

Child and Adolescent

Theta psychology is passionate about treating children and adolescents with histories of trauma and attachment difficulties. Some other issues we can help children and their caregivers with include: depression, self-harm, body image and eating issues, anxiety, perfectionism, emotion regulation and low self-esteem.

Adolescence is a particularly crucial developmental period that comes with a range of challenges. The brain is still developing and intervention may support an adolescent to develop healthily into adulthood.

Please note: Theta Psychology is not providing assessments or reports for custody/family law or legal purposes; testing and reports for autism or ADHD diagnosis; cognitive assessments; or treatment where disability is the main issue.
