Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E)
Enhanced cognitive and behavioural therapy CBT-E at Mind Body Well
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy-Enhanced (CBT-E) is a specialised form of CBT designed to support people experiencing eating disorders and food and eating concerns. Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well use CBT-E to help people understand the beliefs and thoughts related to their eating behaviours, and to use practical behavioural experiments to make and sustain change. CBT-E is an active approach which involves ‘homework’ tasks for clients to work on between sessions, which contributes to the effectiveness of the approach.
CBT-E is tailored to each person’s needs, addressing factors such as restrictive eating, binge eating and body dissatisfaction. Through structured sessions, clients build skills to break unhelpful cycles and develop sustainable, positive change.
If you’re struggling with eating concerns, the Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well can guide you with person-centered, evidence-based support. Therapeutic approaches are determined in consultation between the Psychologist and client, after a thorough assessment has been conducted.
