Experience

We are concerned with providing psychotherapy, counselling, mental health and emotional support, support, consultancy, training, education and networking opportunities.  We also aim to raise awareness of eating disorders generally, in Scotland (and beyond), whenever and wherever we can.

Although we have academic and professional qualifications in psychotherapy and psychology and are qualified clinicians, it's important to note that some of us also have personal experience of eating disorders and have now fully recovered. Some of us also have experience as a carer/supporter of someone living with an eating disorder.

We are qualified and/or accredited Psychotherapists, Counsellors and Mental Health Practitioners. We have  specialised clinical qualifications in psychotherapy, mental health and counselling and some of our team also have undergraduate and postgraduate university degrees in Psychology, Research Psychology, other fields of Mental Health, Nursing, Occupational Therapy and so on.  We  have additional qualifications in other therapies such as Stress Management Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, ACT, DBT and more, as well as  qualifications in training, clinical supervision, group-work and much more!

We engage in regular Clinical Supervision and Continuous Professional Development (CPD). We hold Professional Membership with various organisations, have our own Professional Indemnity Insurance, hold PVG/Disclosure Scotland Membership and ICO Data Protection Membership.  We are experienced clinicians working in eating disorders and disordered eating, although we have lots of  experience working with many other issues too, including depression, anxiety, body image, stress, self-esteem and much more!

So, we are priviledged over most service providers in that we not only have professional experience of working with eating disorders and disordered eating  in various clinical, academic and support settings: some of us also know what it's actually like to experience and recover from an eating disorder first hand!

This means that we have an understanding of eating disorders and disordered eating that many health professionals do not.  Since 2009, we have worked with over 1000 people - of all gender identities, age groups and backgrounds  with eating disorders and disordered eating. We have worked with them individually, in groups, face-to-face and online.
