Eating disorder psychologist in Geelong

Based in Drysdale, supporting Geelong clients and Australia wide via telehealth

Eating disorders and disordered eating can have a significant impact on both physical health and emotional wellbeing. Concerns may include restrictive eating, binge eating, purging behaviours, preoccupation with food, or ongoing distress related to body image and weight. These patterns can feel overwhelming, private, and difficult to speak about. At Happy Minds Psychology, we offer compassionate and professional support with an experienced eating disorder psychologist, providing a safe and respectful space to explore your concerns.

Eating difficulties often develop as a way of coping with underlying emotional distress, perfectionism, trauma, or difficulties with control and self-worth. Our collaborative approach recognises that eating disorders are complex and deeply personal, and recovery looks different for each individual. Together, we focus on understanding the function of eating patterns, strengthening coping strategies, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change aligned with your values and wellbeing.

Understanding eating disorders and disordered eating in Geelong

Eating disorders can affect people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. You do not need a formal diagnosis to seek support. Many people experience disordered eating patterns or body image concerns that still cause significant distress and interfere with daily life.

Our eating disorders counselling and disordered eating counselling focus on understanding the emotional, psychological and behavioural factors contributing to eating difficulties. Working with a qualified eating disorder psychologist can help reduce shame, increase insight and develop healthier coping strategies around food, body image and emotions.

Eating disorders therapy tailored to you

At Happy Minds Psychology, eating disorders therapy is individualised and responsive to your needs, experiences and goals. Therapy may involve exploring patterns around eating and control, addressing unhelpful thought processes, and building emotional regulation skills. We place strong emphasis on safety, trust and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.

We also provide body image psychology support, recognising that negative body image is often closely linked with eating disorders and disordered eating. Therapy supports the development of self-compassion, improved body acceptance and a more balanced relationship with food and self-worth.

Recovery from an eating disorder is possible with the right support. Our goal is to help you feel understood, supported and empowered as you move toward improved wellbeing.
