ONE TO ONE COUNSELLING
SESSIONS
One to one counselling involves individual counselling sessions,
usually one and a half hours long, where the client and therapist
address the eating disorder and develop a treatment plan toward
recovery. The initial session entails the client being assessed and
the treatment plan is then devised by both parties. Each person has
their own unique issues pertaining to their eating disorder, hence
each treatment programme is tailored to suit the individuals
needs.
These sessions take place in a safe and nurturing environment where
the client can explore their individual journey of self discovery
and deal with the various aspects perpetuating their eating
disorder. In my experience the rapport between the therapist and
client is the most curative aspect of the recovery process and it
is important that the client feels comfortable with the
therapist.
To view the various therapists who are members of the organisation
please click on the icon ‘about us’. There is profile on each
therapist and you can choose the person who you feel will suit you
best. All therapists who are members have been trained by the
Eating Disorder Resource Centre of Ireland.
We offer information and advice free of charge to anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of their food, body and weight issues. This information can be accessed on line or by contacting us and we can forward to you.
HOSPITAL/INSTITUTION AFTERCARE PROGRAMMES
Our hospital and institution after care programmes have been
devised for people who have attended an in house treatment
programme and who wish to re integrate into society again. The
Programmes are tailored to each individual and are designed to
offer support, skills, and ongoing treatment to support the
individuals recovery programme.
Our Intensive Programmes are devised for individuals who have food, body, or weight issues and who wish to complete intensive work over a short period of time. I run these programmes myself and they include a maximum of 3 hours therapy each day and homework is also assigned. They are carried out on a one to one basis and are designed to suit the individuals needs and requirements.
SCHOOL/COLLEGE TALKS AND WORKSHOPS
We offer schools and colleges an opportunity to bring awareness and information about eating disorders by attending the school or college and presenting a talk or workshop pertaining to the various aspects of eating disorders. Again we tailor the presentation depending on the number of students, age group, etc. and also we give teachers and tutors information which may help them to understand the nature of the disorder. Prevention is better than cure, and knowledge is power ! We aim to inform and educate the students on self image, body image, nutrition, and this knowledge may change a course of action that the student may be embarking on.
