Eating disorders
Over 1 million Australians are living with an eating disorder. Less than a quarter of those receive treatment or support.
During pregnancy many women struggle with their changing body shape. Pregnancy can also be very triggering for women who have previously had treatment for an eating disorder.
One in five people who identify as gender diverse experience eating disorder behaviours.
Body image issues or body dysphoria can also have a significant impact upon intimate relationships.
Katie has specialised and advanced training in treating eating disorders, disorded eating and body image issues utilising Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E).
