Welcome to Eating Disorder & Addiction Specialists
Bespoke counselling & psychotherapy for Colchester & Wivenhoe, designed to meet the needs of every individual
About Us
One of the most essential components of successful recovery from addiction and eating disorders is to work with a therapist or counsellor, and later a coach, who is knowledgeable, empathetic, understanding and easy to communicate with and trust.
At the Eating Disorder & Addiction Specialists Group our focus is to provide each of our clients with this type of experience. Based in Colchester and covering the Colchester, Wivenhoe and University of Essex area, we use a holistic, integrated approach to treatment that is bespoke and carefully designed to meet the needs of each individual that comes to our practice.
We understand that recovery from drugs, alcohol or any type of addiction is often an overwhelming thought for many people. We also recognise that addiction and eating disorders are not the person, they are only a behaviour manifestation of trauma or negative thoughts and coping strategies that have developed over a period of time.
Through psychotherapy, counselling and our holistic approach to treatment, recovery from eating disorders and addictions is possible. You will learn about yourself and develop the skills and knowledge you need to restart your life and become the happy, sober and clean person deserve to be.
