All Psychologists and Dietitians at Mind Body Well have significant experience and skills in assisting with people with concerns about eating behaviours and body image. This can include people anywhere along a continuum from problematic eating behaviours and a concern with weight or shape, to those with formally diagnosed eating disorders.
At Mind Body Well, we use a non-dieting approach to understand the relationships people have with food and with their bodies, prioritising wellbeing and self-care. Our practitioners are aligned with the Health At Every Size movement, focussing on healthy thoughts and behaviours, rather than a particular focus on weight or size. You can read more about the Mind Body Well Philosophy.
Some people come to our practice specifically to focus on eating behaviours or recovery from an eating disorder. In this instance our clients may see one of our psychologists or our dietitian independently, or they may see both practitioners as a team, providing a more comprehensive approach to therapy. Our practitioners also work closely with other health professionals outside our practice to ensure consistency in your care. This may include your doctor, psychiatrist, allied health professionals, and complementary therapy practitioners.
