It is estimated that more than 725,000 people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder and recent research from the NHS suggests that up to 25% of those showing a sign of an eating disorder were male.

Males of any age can develop an eating disorder, and it is most likely to begin between the ages of 14-25, although it is not unusual to experience  an eating disorder in middle age.

Feeling guilty, embarrassed or ashamed ? Whether your eating difficulty started recently or you have been struggling for a while you deserve support. Talking therapies are an important part of eating disorder treatments and can include cognitive therapy, psychotherapy,  Neuro-linguistic  programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy

Finding new ways of coping, and recovery can mean freedom and being at peace with yourself.
