What is bulimia?

Bulimia is often experienced as a cycle — one that swings between overwhelming urges to eat and desperate attempts to undo what has been done.

But beyond the surface of bingeing and purging, many people with bulimia describe feelings of shame, self-loathing, or emotional turmoil.

For many, the symptom becomes a private form of communication — a way of expressing pain that cannot be spoken.

What causes bulimia?

There is no single cause. Some people develop bulimia following traumatic events, overwhelming feelings, or experiences of neglect.

Others may have never felt safe expressing needs or anger directly. Bulimia can emerge as a strategy — albeit a painful one — to regulate what feels otherwise unmanageable.

A psychoanalytic view, does not reduce this to a behavioural problem. It listens to the meaning behind the repetition.

How we work

Rather ather than focusing solely on symptom control, we aim to understand what lies beneath the cycle.

What is the binge trying to resolve? What does purging express that cannot be said?

Our work together is not about willpower — it’s about truth, desire, and unconscious conflict.

Is therapy for bulimia right for me?

You do not need a diagnosis or referral to begin therapy for bulimia or emotional eating. 

You may be in the early stages of struggling with bulimia, or you may have lived with it privately for years. Perhaps you don’t identify with the label, but recognise something painful in the pattern. 

Whether you’re actively seeking change or unsure what help could look like, our therapists offer a space for reflection — and for beginning to speak what has long felt unspeakable.

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.

They have given me a safe place to jst talk and allow myself to really see why I have been struggling. Great people doing great work,!!!

“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.
