ASPECTS OF IMPORTANCE

Rigidity and Routine

A strong preference for routine is common in neurodivergent individuals, but it can lead to rigid eating patterns. Eating the same foods daily for comfort and predictability can limit variety and contribute to disordered eating behaviours.

Emotional Regulation Challenges

Intense emotions or emotional dysregulation, common in conditions like ADHD and autism, may drive disordered eating as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions or sensory overload. Food can offer comfort or a sense of control during moments of distress.

Body Image and Self-Perception

Though body image may not always be a primary concern, societal pressures and experiences of bullying or marginalisation can negatively impact self-esteem. Struggling with neurotypical beauty standards may contribute to disordered eating behaviours.

Our Team PA, Kerry, is available to answer any questions you may have prior to booking an assessment.

It is important to note that we do have a 24 hour cancellation policy on all booked appointments. Any cancellations received within 24 hours remain fully charged.

We request payment for an initial assessment appointment in advance of your appointment, which you can make over the phone using a debit or credit card or via the secure payment link sent to you with your invoice. For any further treatment sessions, and unless covered by private health insurance, we will invoice you sessionally which is payable upon receipt, however, we offer a maximum 30-day period in order to receive payment.

Therapy is most effective when a series of appointments tailored to your individual requirements can be established. The NICE guidelines are between 20-40 appointments but we are guided by our clients depending on their needs, preference, and motivation to adopt change. We will always remain flexible to accommodate your preferences.
