Eating Disorder & Body Dysmorphia Treatment

Our treatment helps to work on the root cause of issues.

Let’s talk about it.

many shapes and forms

Eating & Body Issues

Eating & body issues can be debilitating and distressing conditions. Thoughts and compulsions can overwhelm a person and take a toll on their bodies.

These issues typically come in all shapes and forms including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, restrictive eating, body dysmorphia and all sorts of anxieties and fears relating to the body. 

Importantly, each person’s issue is unique to them. Our therapy works on the root of people’s suffering.

What’s it all about?

At the heart of ‘disordered’ eating, or body issues, is anxiety.

A relationship to food and/or our bodies has been formed in a particular way that can give temporary relief to anxiety. 

In this way, we can understand eating ‘disorders’ or body dysmorphia as a defence. As a solution against something worse. What could possibly be worse though?

Speak to a Therapist
transforming eating & body issues

Why therapy?

What problem is our symptom trying to solve? Why is it here in the first place?

Many treatments steer away from these questions and can often treat the surface level manifestation of symptoms. 

Our treatment works on these questions; aiming at the root cause of eating ‘disorders’ and body issues.

By working on the cause of symptoms we aim to produce lasting change.

I had the privilege of working with Ashling Whelan, MIACP, as my therapist at The Other Clinic. I can’t emphasize enough how her compassion, expertise and professionalism have positively transformed my relationship with my partner. Her guidance and insights have been instrumental in helping me navigate and improve my communication and overall connection. I highly recommend Ashling to anyone seeking skilled and compassionate therapy.

“I was recommended this clinic and was sceptical at first, much like about putting a review online, but after the level of care I received I wanted to share. I had a lot of questions like was it for me, would I be able, could I afford it etc. but after contacting them many of these were answered and I felt more at ease. I had been struggling with things for a while and when I started I didn’t quite understand the connection between what the psychotherapist said and what I was saying but it really taught me to think twice about things and why I might feel a certain way, it’s really opened my eyes. Coming to counselling and more importantly sticking it out is one of the best decisions I’ve made and I’m sincerely thankful for all their help. Thanks again!!”

I can’t sufficiently express how grateful and appreciative I am, without writing thousands upon thousands of words, for the help and support my therapist here gives me in doing the hard, frightening and sad work that needs doing in order for therapy to be truly beneficial. Almost 18 months of weekly appointments and I can peacefully say that I’ll keep going for as long as I can. Thank you so much for providing a space and the support I need to consistently learn, grow and love myself.
