Do you have periods of under-eating then over-eating? Are you a yo-yo dieter? Do you spend a lot of time thinking about food eating or your body? Brigid works with people with disordered eating habits including chronic dieting, restrictive and rigid eating habits, over eating and emotional or binge eating behaviours.
Eating disorder recovery
Deciding to get help for an eating disorder may be the hardest thing you’ve ever done but recovery is possible. Brigid works in collaboration with other mental health professionals to help people over 16 years old struggling with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder and Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED).

Hormonal issues - PCOS
If you are living with PCOS you will likley be experiencing changes to your body and your appetite. Often individuals are encouraged to ‘lose weight’ as if it is a simple request however this is usually unsustainable long term and can often lead to feelings of failure, disordered eating habits and for some can lead to cravings, binge eating and further appetite dysregulation. Brigid supports people to eat well not eat less and through good stable nutrition we aim to stabilise hormones and body weight.
