Anorexia Counselling in Kitchener-Waterloo
Living with Anorexia can feel all-consuming—physically, emotionally, and mentally. You may spend your days consumed by thoughts of food, weight, and control. Restricting food might feel like the only way to feel safe, in control, or “enough.” But beneath it all, there may also be deep exhaustion, fear, or a quiet voice longing for peace.
If you’re struggling with anorexia, know this: you are not alone, and you are not broken. At Transformation Counselling, we offer therapy for anorexia in in-person in Kitchener-Waterloo or online anywhere in Ontario that meets you with empathy, understanding, and expertise. Whether you're seeking in-person or online counselling for anorexia, we’re here to help you gently reconnect with your body, your needs, and your sense of self—without judgment or pressure.
What Is Anorexia?
Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by intense food restriction, fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. People living with anorexia often push their bodies to the limit in an effort to feel worthy, safe, or in control. It may start with the desire to be healthy or lose weight, but can quickly turn into a rigid pattern that takes over your thoughts, energy, and life.
Anorexia is not about vanity or discipline. It’s often tied to emotional pain—past trauma, perfectionism, low self-worth, or a need to feel “good enough” in a world that sends constant messages of inadequacy. Cultural pressures around body image and thinness can make recovery even more complex.
But recovery is possible. You are not alone, and you are not beyond help.
