Disordered Eating

"Having never previously attended counselling I contacted Donnah based her extensive  experience. I was hoping to find a way to better live around food essentially, I had experienced years of yo-yo dieting, binge eating, comfort eating with seemingly no improvement. I was very unsure if counselling would provide any respite from my obsession but I found it to be a very interesting and helpful experience. Donnah is incredibly approachable and provides a judgement free zone, whilst it was often hard to be honest with myself I was able to be completely honest in my sessions. I spoke openly whilst Donnah guided me through topics and my feelings. Ultimately I recognised that Donnah’s expertise was helping me to understand my reactions to various situations and it allowed me to slowly work on areas of myself that were the keys to unlocking my unhealthy coping mechanisms around food. The outcome has been a far better relationship with food but also more self confidence, an understanding of the way I tick and the ability to relate better to colleagues, family and friends."
