A one-to-one therapy where the client is given appropriate dietary advice in conjunction with support and general observation of their eating strategies and behaviour. This is an holistic approach, since eating disorders often reflect low self image and lack of self-esteem. An increasing number of people in the West use food as a drug or as a means of escape from painful feelings. The client is assisted sensitively throughout the dietary changes necessary until he/she can maintain a satisfactory body weight.
Notes: Suitable for those who experience anxiety, depression, or physical problems as a result of being overweight. Also for those with Bulimia (bingeing followed by vomiting and feelings of guilt).
