Counselling is effective in helping the person with an eating disorder challenge their negative thinking patterns and behaviours in relation to eating and food and replace them with healthier ones.
Counselling helps an individual with an eating disorder enhance their self-esteem and body image, replace their unhealthy eating habits with healthier ones, challenge their negative perceptions about their body and eating, explore different ways of coping with stressful situations instead of engaging in unhealthy eating patterns, and overall improve their mood and relationships.
The number of sessions required differs for each individual and depends on their condition and their response to the counseling sessions.
