What it can feel like.
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, not a matter of vanity or willpower. For adults they can include restricting food, binge eating, purging or compulsive exercise, often as ways to cope with stress, anxiety or difficult emotions. Over time they can affect health, relationships and self-esteem.
- Preoccupation with food, weight or body shape
- Strict food rules or cutting out whole food groups
- Episodes of binge eating, with or without purging
- Compulsive exercise despite exhaustion or injury
- Low energy, physical changes or health complications
- Avoiding social situations that involve food
These behaviours don’t reflect weakness. They’re a sign that something underneath needs care.
How we approach eating disorders
Our psychologists use approaches grounded in evidence, and work with your GP, dietitian or psychiatrist when a team approach is needed.
- 1
Understanding your experience
Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for you, including your eating patterns, thoughts about food and body, and how they affect your health and daily life. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.
- 2
Choosing an approach together
Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit you, then you agree on a plan together.
- 3
Reviewing the plan together
Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you, using measures chosen for you and what you’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.
What support can include
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Looks at unhelpful beliefs about food, weight and self-image.
- Enhanced CBT (CBT-E) A form of CBT developed for eating disorders, working on eating patterns and what keeps them going.
- Psychoeducation Understanding the physical and emotional effects of disordered eating. We work alongside dietitians for nutrition support.
- Emotion regulation and coping skills Other ways to handle stress, anxiety and difficult feelings.
- Relapse prevention planning A plan for high-risk times and early warning signs.
- Family or relationship support Involving people close to you, where that fits.

Psychologists who work with couples
Depth behind the person you see
You see one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.
Trained for the work in front of them
Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.
Enough of us to match you properly
With 25+ psychologists, we can put you with someone who works with what you’re facing, your age group, and the way you like to work.
Keeping up, on purpose
New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.
If something isn’t working.
Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.
Ask for a different psychologist
We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.
Talk it through with your psychologist
Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.
Wondering about medication?
If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP with what we’ve found, with your consent.

How does Unbound Minds support adults with eating disorders?
We provide a safe, non-judgemental space to talk about your relationship with food, body image, and emotions. Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other therapies suited to your needs, and we work with your GP and other health professionals where needed so your physical health is looked after too.
Do you focus only on food behaviours?
No. While food and eating patterns are part of the picture, we also explore the underlying thoughts, feelings, and life experiences that contribute to the disorder. Addressing both behaviour and the emotional drivers behind it makes support more meaningful.
How can I tell if my eating patterns are becoming a problem?
It may be time to seek help if eating habits feel rigid or controlling, if weight or body image concerns dominate your thoughts, or if your health, mood, or relationships are being affected. You don’t need to wait until things feel critical to reach out.
What can I expect in therapy for an eating disorder?
Therapy is collaborative and paced around your comfort and readiness for change. We’ll work together to understand your patterns, introduce practical strategies, and build coping tools that support both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Can therapy still help if I’ve lived with an eating disorder for many years?
You can start therapy at any point, however long you’ve lived with an eating disorder. Your psychologist will look at what has kept it going and work with you on new ways of coping, and on reconnecting with the things that matter to you.
