Most likely not. meal plan has its place, however, it's usually used for short term.

Meal plan may recreate the rigidity and external control that often fuel binge eating.

We will mostly focus on internal guidance - helping you recognise and respond to your body's hunger, fullness and preferences.

If you're currently very disconnected from these signals, we will use strategies, which may include structured meal time, to recover your internal cues.

Absolutely not. Many of my clients choose not to weigh themselves at all, and I fully support that. If weight is monitored for medical reasons, we can discuss strategies to handle it such as blind-weighing. Your worth isn't determined by a number, and recovery doesn't require tracking it.

This fear is so understandable, especially given diet culture messaging are everywhere around us.

Here's what I know: restriction and the binge-restrict cycle often lead to weight cycling and preoccupation with food. When you stop restricting and start eating regularly and adequately, your body often stabilises. But I won't lie and promise a specific outcome—bodies are diverse, and weight isn't within our direct control. What is within our control is building a peaceful relationship with food, and that's worth pursuing regardless of what your body does.

It would be really helpful if you have work with a specialised dietitian and therapist. Bulimia usually has psychological and emotional roots (trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, difficulty coping with feelings) that therapy addresses really effectively. I focus on the food-specific side: normalising eating, challenging food rules, reframing food and nutrition information and nutrition support. Together, therapy and dietetics cover both the "why" and the "how" of recovery. If you're not currently seeing a therapist, I can help connect you with ED-specialised options.

It's never too late. Recovery at any stage and any age is possible. Long standing bulimia usually mean there's a higher complexity and might require longer recovery - but recovery is very possible. Where you are now is where we start—no judgement about how long this has been going on.

Some physical impact can improve overtime with recovery (electrolyte imbalance, minor dental damage), while others might need ongoing management (e.g. GI symptoms/gut damage). When we start working together, I often recommend regular medical monitoring with your doctor (electrolyte, blood, ECG, vital signs) for medical and nutrition management. The sooner we can help you stop compensatory behaviours, the earlier you can start restoring your physical capacity and health.

No. Restriction (even mental restriction, like thinking you "shouldn't" eat something) is often what triggers bingeing in the first place. Part of recovery is legalising all foods and learning that no food will make you lose control if you're eating regularly and adequately. We'll work on this gradually—it's not about forcing yourself to eat fear foods before you're ready, but about slowly dismantling the food rules that keep you stuck.

That's completely valid, and we can still work together. Ambivalence is normal. We can explore what bingeing is doing for you (it's often serving a purpose, like coping with stress or numbing emotions), and work on building other skills while you're figuring things out. You don't have to have it all sorted to start.

Yes. I work with people of all body sizes, and my HAES-aligned approach means I don't pathologise or focus on changing your body size. BED affects people across the weight spectrum, and everyone deserves compassionate, weight-neutral care.

Honestly? It varies. Some people see significant improvement in a few months; for others, it takes a year or more. Recovery isn't just about stopping binge episodes—it's about fundamentally shifting your relationship with food, which takes time. I'd rather be realistic with you than overpromise. What I can say is that most people notice meaningful changes within the first few months, even if full recovery takes longer.

Past treatment not working doesn't mean recovery isn't possible—it often means the approach wasn't the right fit. Perhaps the practical, food-specific piece was missing (that's where dietetic support comes in), or the treatment was weight-focused or not ED-specialised.

You've also changed since then. You're at a different life stage, with new perspectives, support networks, and readiness. All of this creates new opportunities for recovery, and we can help you leviate those opportunities.

If you've tried CBT-E or group intervention before, individualised 1:1 support works differently. We don't use just 1 approach, but match option and techniques to your specific situation, which often helps people who haven't responded to standardised approaches finally break through as we are able to investigate more in the issue and untangle some deep knots
