Therapy for Anorexia

Slide 1

Therapy for Anorexia

Living with anorexia can feel isolating and all-consuming. You may be stuck in patterns of restriction, control, or overwhelming thoughts about food and your body—while quietly battling fear, shame, or exhaustion beneath the surface. At Laura Adlam Therapy Solutions, I offer gentle, one-to-one therapy for anorexia, in a space that’s safe, confidential, and entirely at your pace.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Support is available, and healing is possible.

Understanding Anorexia

Anorexia nervosa is about far more than food. Often, it’s a way of coping with overwhelming emotions, past trauma, or a need to feel safe and in control. You might appear “fine” to others—while inside, you’re struggling with constant pressure, fear, and self-criticism.

You may be experiencing:

Restrictive eating or calorie counting
Intense fear of gaining weight
A distorted body image or sense of self
Anxiety around eating or food-related situations
Over exercising or rigid routines
Difficulty recognising hunger or fullness
Feelings of guilt, shame or unworthiness

Even if you’re not sure whether your experience “counts” as anorexia, if food and body thoughts are affecting your life—it matters.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy for anorexia creates a supportive space where you’re not judged or rushed. Instead, we gently explore what’s driving your behaviours and begin to untangle the emotional, mental and physical patterns that are keeping you stuck.

Therapy can help you:

Understand the underlying emotions and beliefs behind restriction
Challenge the inner critic and build self-compassion
Reduce anxiety around food and body image
Feel more connected to your body in a safe, respectful way
Reclaim your voice, identity and choices outside of the eating disorder

My approach is trauma-informed, flexible, and tailored to your readiness—always with care, never with pressure.

Flexible, Private Support

You can access therapy for anorexia in the way that feels most manageable for you:

In-person therapy in Herefordshire
Online sessions via Zoom
Telephone support, if voice-only feels more comfortable

Support is available—whether you’re seeking early intervention, ongoing help, or space to explore your experience for the first time.

“Just a little message to say a huge thank you. I certainly would not be where I am without having you to get me back on track”. (Read more on the Testimonials page.)
