Eating disorders
At Positive Dietetics, we understand how challenging it can be to manage an eating disorder. We strive to provide compassionate and non-judgemental support to individuals in a safe and inclusive environment. We are here to support you every step of the way. Recovery is possible and it all starts with you.
Our accredited practising dietitian (APD), Jillian is trained in evidence-based approaches to eating disorder treatment for dietitians and has a good understanding of CBT-E to work alongside your mental health professional and GP. She is warm and curious in her approach and is there to listen to understand. She practises from a weight-neutral and trauma-informed perspective.
Please note Jillian only works with adults (>18 years old) with eating disorders at this stage and requires the individual be linked in with their GP and psychologist.
