Eating Disorder Therapy in Perth & Online
Eating disorders are not simply about food — they’re about distress. Whether you’re living with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating, obesity, or feeling stuck in a painful cycle of restriction, self-destruction, and guilt — you’re not alone. Eating disorders are serious, but treatable, mental health conditions, but recovery is possible with the right approach.
Is Eating Disorder Therapy Right for You?
Therapy can be a powerful support for those seeking change with their disordered eating, body-related concerns, and co-occurring mental health challenges. Whether your symptoms are newly emerging or have been part of your life for years, therapy can support recovery at many stages — from early help-seeking to post-inpatient or day program reintegration.
This service is designed for individuals needing support with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, obesity, or even milder forms of food and body distress. We work with both adolescents and adults, including those who are rebuilding after hospital or intensive outpatient care.
How We Treat Eating Disorders at Reverence Recovery
Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Our therapy approach blends structure, warmth, and clinical insight. Your goals shape the work we do — whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time, re-entering treatment, or continuing your recovery journey after structured programs.
We use evidence-based treatment models that support lasting recovery while remaining responsive to your lived experience. These include:
CBT-E (Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)
The gold-standard outpatient treatment for many eating disorders.
FBT (Family-Based Therapy)
An effective model for adolescent eating disorder recovery involving active parent and family involvement.
Client-Centred Therapy
Therapy is guided by your experience, goals, and healing pace.
Trauma-Informed Care
Where relevant, we address the emotional and historical roots of your eating disorder in a safe and sensitive way.
Outpatient therapy at Reverence Recovery is tailored to your symptoms, strengths, and recovery timeline. We focus not only on symptom reduction but on long-term psychological healing and personal empowerment.

What to Expect in Eating Disorder Therapy
Your journey begins with an initial therapy session focused on understanding your challenges, history, and what you want from treatment. This helps us collaboratively shape a care plan that fits your needs and recovery goals. Therapy may include:
Building skills for managing distress or urges.
Processing painful emotions and trauma.
Challenging unhelpful thinking patterns.
Reconnecting with your body and sense of self.
Supporting behavioural change in eating, exercise, or compensatory behaviours.
The ultimate goal is to help you cultivate a more compassionate, sustainable relationship with food, your body, and your self — one step at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a diagnosis to get help?
No. Many people struggle with disordered eating without meeting the full criteria for an eating disorder. If eating, food, or body image is affecting your wellbeing — support is available.
How do I know if my eating habits are “bad enough” to seek therapy?
You don’t need to hit a crisis point to ask for support. If food, eating, or body image feel like they’re taking up too much space in your mind or affecting your relationships, therapy may be helpful. You deserve care, even if your symptoms feel “mild” or hard to explain.
Can I still come to therapy even if I’m not ready to give up my eating disorder behaviours?
Yes. Many clients begin therapy feeling uncertain about recovery. That’s quite normal. We’ll work at your pace, exploring what recovery means to you.
Can I recover if I’ve had an eating disorder for years?
Yes. Many of our clients have a long history of illness and have tried therapy before. Recovery is still possible. Our approach honours your past while helping you reclaim your future.
Do you offer support after inpatient or day programs?
Yes. We frequently work with clients transitioning from in-hospital treatment or day programs back into everyday life. This period can be particularly vulnerable and confusing. Therapy helps you maintain progress, re-establish routines, and build psychological resilience in your community setting.
Do you work with adolescents?
Yes. We work with teenagers and families, using models like FBT and emotion coaching. Parents or carers are actively involved in the recovery process where appropriate.
Do you include family or partners in treatment?
Where appropriate, yes. For adolescents, we often work closely with parents or carers using family-based models. For adults, we may involve loved ones in sessions if it’s clinically helpful and the client agrees. Relationship support can be a powerful part of recovery.
Can I choose online therapy instead of face-to-face sessions?
Absolutely. We offer secure telehealth sessions across Australia. Many clients appreciate the flexibility or treatment fitting in with their schedules.
Will therapy involve working with a dietitian or GP?
In some cases, yes. Eating disorders often impact both physical and psychological health. If needed, we’ll collaborate with your GP, dietitian, or psychiatrist to support safe, coordinated care.
