Counselling and Treatment

At BodyMatters we are committed to the highest level of evidence-based care to our clients.

Making the decision to recover may be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do.

Eating and dieting disorders often take a significant toll on a person’s relationships, education, school or work, and this can often contribute to their desire to get better. Yet they may have tried treatment approaches that just haven’t worked, or perhaps there’s still a little part of them that doesn’t feel completely ready to recover.

These feelings are normal at the start of a person’s journey towards recovery.

Whatever your situation, our BodyMatters Team is here to help. We provide initial consultations to fully understand each client’s unique situation, and on that basis develop a customised treatment plan matched to their specific needs. We balance evidence-based treatment approaches with genuine care and compassion for all of our clients.

Problems we typically see at our treatment clinic include:

- anorexia
- bulimia
- binge eating disorder
- dieting disorders
- trauma-related difficulties
- comfort/emotional eating
- compulsive exercise
- weight management
-  lap band and other pre/post op weight-surgery complications

Please note: we are now able to provide low-cost treatment for those who otherwise cannot access treatment. This would be provided by our provisionally registered psychologist, Kassie Bottalico.

Please contact us now to make a booking.

Please also note that it is common for people with eating disorders to fear that they are not sick enough to be taken seriously when considering treatment. Yet eating and dieting disorders are serious at any size. At BodyMatters we take a non-judgemental approach and treat all cases as genuine.  Treatment outcomes are typically enhanced by early intervention.

All members of the BodyMatters Team are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency (AHPRA).
