Counselling for Binge Eating Disorder in Kitchener-Waterloo
Binge eating disorder can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply frustrating. You might find yourself eating large amounts of food in a short period of time—often in secret—even when you’re not hungry. Afterwards, you may feel shame, guilt, or hopelessness, unsure of how to stop the cycle.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and more importantly, help is available. At Transformation Counselling, we offer specialized therapy for binge eating disorder, designed to help you understand and address the emotional roots of your relationship with food in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
What Is Binge Eating Disorder?
Binge eating disorder (BED) is one of the most common eating disorders, and it is characterized by recurring episodes of eating large quantities of food—often quickly and to the point of discomfort—without subsequent purging behaviors. Unlike bulimia, where bingeing is followed by purging (such as vomiting or excessive exercise), binge eating is not followed by compensatory actions. This can lead to a complex cycle of emotional distress and physical discomfort.
BED is not about a lack of willpower. It’s often connected to deeper emotional wounds—such as past trauma, bullying, body shame, neglect, or anxiety—and is worsened by toxic societal messages about food, weight, and worth.
Our Approach to Binge Eating Disorder Counselling
At Transformation Counselling, our approach to binge eating counselling is holistic, compassionate, and evidence-based. We understand that food is often used as a way to cope with pain, numb difficult emotions, or feel temporarily in control. That’s why our therapists focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of binge eating—not just the behaviors.
In our sessions, we work collaboratively with you to explore:
The emotional triggers behind your eating patterns
Underlying issues such as trauma, stress, low self-worth, or anxiety
Unhelpful beliefs about body image, food, and control
Tools to develop self-compassion and build healthier coping strategies
How to cultivate a balanced and peaceful relationship with food
Whether you're seeking online counselling for binge eating disorder or in-person support in Kitchener-Waterloo, our goal is to help you feel empowered, not judged.
