Eating Disorders
Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
The generalised term “eating disorder” can cover many forms of unusual, or atypical eating habits and also includes disordered, or distorted body image (body dysmorphia) and even, possibly, addiction to exercise. Eating disorders can effect both men and women and it has been estimated to affect anything up to 5% of all people at some point in their lives, with a relatively greater propensity amongst older adolescent boys and younger men. Other eating disorders may also include behaviours such as the compulsion to exercise excessively, or a negative, or distorted body image, as well as obsessive thoughts, habits and behaviours surrounding various aspects of food.
Relational psychotherapy can generate the opportunity with eating disorders to examine and explore any possibly deep-rooted emotional explanations that may have contributed to issues around food, exercise and body image. With eating disorders, relational psychotherapy creates the opportunity to possibly identify any such sensitive areas and instigate a process to overcome troubling, obsessive or destructive behaviours in a supportively safe space. My private practice has successfully provided a guided and structured approach – comprising both cognitive interventions and practical strategies – to support clients as they initialise a process to create a healthier relationship for themselves with both food and their bodies.

Lauren Lacey
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh, MMktg, BHlthSc(Nutr&Diet), BPyschSc, GDipNat (Naturopathy)
Perhaps you struggle with body acceptance. Want freedom from compulsive exercise? Or maybe it’s time to ditch the fitness tracker and be your healthiest self. The way we move, think, and eat can reveal a lot about ourselves. I will help you to look deep within. To notice and make adjustments that align with the best expression of yourself.
I have recovered from exercise addiction, and disordered beliefs around food, and as a competitive marathon runner battled with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). Having completed a Master’s in Psychotherapy, a Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, Naturopathy, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology I discovered a profound gap between the kinds of daily struggles people experience around food and their body. Through my marathon training, I recognized that understanding the psychology of eating is key to helping people create a nourishing, supportive relationship with food and their body.
