What to Expect from Eating Disorder Treatment in Melbourne

In your first session, our dietitians carefully listen to your entire picture of health your body, mind, and lifestyle. Our eating disorder treatment in Melbourne is tailored to meet your specific diagnosis, lived experience, medical history, and emotional requirements.

  3. Medical and psychological history

  4. Evaluation for nutrient deficits and food intolerance

  5. Familiarity with your sensory requirements or history of trauma (if relevant)

  6. Co-ordination with your multidisciplinary team (psychologist, GP, psychiatrist, etc.)

 

Subsequent development of a personalised nutrition plan that may incorporate:

  1. Gradual reintroduction of feared or avoided foods

  2. Nourishing meal and snack plans that support metabolic repair

  3. Navigating binge-restrict cycles and emotional triggers

  4. Re-tuning natural hunger and fullness cues

  5. Supplement guidance as needed

  6. Coping skills and behavioural strategies

Our aim is not to push dieting or food restriction but to assist you in tuning into nourishment, stability, and peace at the table.

Support beyond the Plate

Our approach extends far beyond calories and portion control. We understand that eating disorders aren't about food often, they are about trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, and extreme emotional concerns. Our dietitians work with your broader support team and provide trauma-sensitive support that respects your pace and your process.

If you already work with a GP, psychologist, or mental health clinician, we can coordinate our care so that you have one integrated and continuous treatment plan.
