What we treat
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED): recurrent loss-of-control episodes with marked distress and regret.
- Emotional & stress-linked eating: using food to manage overwhelm, boredom, loneliness or anger.
- Night-eating / evening surges: late-day binges tied to fatigue, screen use and long gaps between meals.
- Restriction–binge cycles: “good all day, lose it at night,” rigid food rules, compensation attempts.
- Ultra-processed loops: high-sugar/salt/fat combinations triggering repeat cycles.
Eating-disorder note: For Anorexia or Bulimia presentations, we treat within our Eating Disorders pathway with physician coordination where indicated. We are not an emergency service and we do not prescribe or alter doses.
Common signs & patterns
- Rapid eating, eating when not physically hungry, eating alone due to shame, post-episode guilt.
- Diet history with frequent rule-setting and collapse; all-or-nothing thinking around “good/bad” foods.
- Sleep disruption, afternoon energy crashes, and device-driven late ordering.
- Financial impact from delivery apps, premium snack runs or bulk buys “for later”.
- Co-occurring low mood, anxiety, trauma cues, or attentional overload (e.g., ADHD).
Why one-to-one treatment works for binge eating
Shame and secrecy often fuel BED. Group rooms can heighten exposure and performance pressure. One-to-one work gives privacy, more clinical time, and lets us engineer sleep, meals, shopping and device rules around your triggers. The residence is quiet and predictable—ideal for building new habits.
Assessment & mapping
- Episode map: time-of-day, place, emotion, foods, pace; dissociation vs mindful awareness during binges.
- Restriction & compensation: fasting windows, food rules, exercise or other compensatory behaviours.
- Sleep & circadian: wake time, latency, night waking; see Sleep Disorder Treatment.
- Food environment: kitchen layout, office snacks, car stash, commute routes; delivery radius.
- Devices & spend: apps, notifications, saved cards, impulse windows, subscription traps.
- Medical context: diabetes/metabolic concerns, thyroid/PCOS, GI issues, meds. Physician sets any medical plan.
Stabilise: the first 7 days
- Sleep reset: fixed wake, morning light, device curfew, caffeine timing.
- Regular eating: three meals + 1–2 planned snacks; no gaps >4–5 hours while awake.
- Hydration & protein: simple baselines to steady appetite and reduce late surges.
- Trigger ladder: introduce one low-risk trigger food with rules and recovery steps.
- Admin & devices: unsubscribe, turn off promos, remove saved cards; spending cap starts tonight.
Therapies & approach (evidence-informed, non-shaming)
Daily individual sessions with a small, stable team. We translate insights into simple rules you can run on busy days.
- CBT (incl. CBT-E principles): self-monitoring, regular eating, behavioural experiments, exposure to trigger foods and places.
- DBT skills: urge surfing, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal boundaries for food-pushing contexts.
- MET: resolve ambivalence, align values, write if–then plans for evening windows and weekends.
- TRE & breathwork: downshift arousal and reduce stress-eating; improve sleep continuity.
- Family Therapy (with consent): support scripts, mealtime boundaries, and shopping rules at home.
- 12-Step integration (optional): OA-style support if aligned with your preferences.
Nutrition structure (non-diet, safety-first)
- Regularity over restriction: predictable eating steadies appetite; we do not chase crash diets.
- Balanced plates: a simple plate method without calorie counting; flexible to culture and faith.
- Trigger food exposure: graded, time-boxed, with clear stop rules and next-step recovery.
- Medical liaison: where relevant (e.g., diabetes, PCOS, GI), a physician sets the plan. We do not prescribe or alter doses.
Food environment & shopping design
- Kitchen layout: clear counters, “ready options” box, triggers out of line-of-sight.
- Route planning: choose routes that avoid pull stores; rules for petrol stations and late stops.
- Shopping scripts: list templates, perimeter path, “three-minute walk” before impulse adds.
- Events & travel: snack kit, pre-commit menus, split-plate agreements, exit cues when overloaded.
Devices & money guardrails
- Delivery apps: delete/disable, time locks after 20:00, no saved cards, delay timers.
- Spending rules: weekly caps, receipt photo to accountability window, “no emergency orders” rule.
- Attention hygiene: mute promo feeds, unsubscribe from offer emails, remove location prompts.
- High-risk calendar: paydays, launches, exams; book buffers and check-ins. See Life Skills & Relapse Prevention.
Body image & shame
We target function, energy, sleep, and a calmer relationship with food. Weight change may follow as a by-product; it is not the metric of success. Body image work centres on respect, comfort in your clothes and consistent behaviours—not punishment.
Co-occurring conditions we plan for
- Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma & PTSD, Dissociation, Sleep problems.
- Substances/behaviours used to cope: Alcohol, Cannabis, Shopping, Gambling, Internet.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a diet or weight-loss programme
No. We focus on your relationship with food, nervous-system regulation and practical routines. Weight is not the primary outcome.
Will I have to give up all “trigger” foods
Not necessarily. We use graded exposure with clear stop rules and recovery steps. Some clients choose abstinence from specific items; others prefer flexible guardrails.
Do you treat anorexia or bulimia
Yes, within our adult Eating Disorders pathway with physician coordination where indicated. Safety first.
Do you prescribe medication
No. Any medication plan is set by a physician. We coordinate and support adherence; we do not prescribe or alter doses.
