Time is of the essence - early support is important An estimated 1.25 million people are affected by eating disorders in the UK – but there are many, many more who may not meet diagnostic criteria or simply don’t get the help they need. Absolutely anyone can be affected by eating difficulties; all ages, all body sizes, all genders, all races, and disordered eating can take many forms. It sits on a spectrum between what might be considered ‘normal eating’ and an eating disorder and may include symptoms and behaviours of eating disorders, but at a lesser frequency or lower level of severity. Eating difficulties don’t just affect the person involved but also their families and friends too, who often feel frightened, confused, and powerless to help. The aim of this live, evidence-based, online training with Jo Baker, a highly experienced psychotherapist, is to give you a greater understanding of eating difficulties as well as eating disorders and body image. You’ll explore the signs and symptoms, and the effects they have on an individual as well as developing new skills around effective communication with someone who is struggling. It will dispel some of the myths around eating difficulties and also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be… This course is relevant to a range of disordered eating behaviours including: restrictive eating compulsive eating irregular eating inflexible eating avoiding a type of food or food group self-induced vomiting laxative, diuretic, enema misuse supplement misuse clinical eating disorders BONUS RECORDING – you will also get a recording for 2 weeks after the event to maximise your learning.

Here is some feedback from a recent session we ran this springtime. I think you will agree these are big changes and we are so proud to be part of them! I felt the session was really inclusive. I feel more mindful and in the present moment. The process is transferable and “you can do it anywhere”. I feel my wellbeing is supported, and I feel more in control. I understand myself better, I accept myself. It supports my creativity and self-expression which I hadn’t always fully acknowledged. I realise I had a fear of making mistakes, but by being in a group I feel so supported. I feel more physically active. I feel more self-aware and have increased my self-knowledge. I feel more empowered to do things and make changes in my life and in my community. Frequently asked questions What is your refund policy?

No, you need something to take a photograph on, a valid email address and a strong internet connection so that we can communicate over zoom.
