Weight Loss Counselling in Edinburgh
With the prevalence of disordered eating among those seeking weight loss surgery, I am committed to supporting this client group toward long-term sustainable change with the most effective outcome possible.
You’re driven, capable, and in control in so many areas of life. But when it comes to food, it feels like something unravels.
You start the day with good intentions - but by evening, you’re eating in a way that feels disconnected from what you really want. Then comes the guilt, the promises to “be good tomorrow,” and the cycle starts again.
You’re not broken - and this isn’t about willpower.
If years of dieting, controlling, and trying harder haven’t worked, it’s because food struggles aren’t fixed by rules. They’re rooted in emotion, stress, and deep internal patterns—and that’s where therapy can help.
