Finding Balance Psychology

Helping young people and adults with eating and body image concerns

Based in Perth, we are Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinicians (CEDC). Our passion is to help people develop a positive relationship with eating and their body. We help young people and adults with restrictive eating / dieting, comfort eating, binge eating, weight or body image concerns, and eating disorders. We also provide therapy and support to families and carers, supervision to other mental health professionals, and support and education to GPs and other referrers. 

We take a non-diet, Health At Every Size (HAES), body respect stance, we understand how trauma interacts with eating disorders, and the overlap between neurodivergence and eating disorders.  

For those with clinical eating disorders, we incorporate these trauma informed and neuro-affirming understandings into the evidence based models we use: Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E) for eating disorders, Specialist Supportive Clinical Management (SSCM), Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Family Based Treatment (FBT). 

Dietician support and restorative yoga

We share our office space with an eating disorder dietician, Dr Tasmiah Masih, and encourage all clients with eating disorders to have dietetic support.

People with eating disorders recover more quickly when they receive both psychological and dietetic support, and Tas works from a non-diet, Health At Every Size framework. 

Tas is also a highly experienced yoga teacher – how lucky are we – and offers restorative yoga classes on Thursday evenings.

Please contact her directly on 0421 130 222 or mindfuledible@gmail.com for both dietetic and yoga bookings and information.

Do you have a food pusher in your family - someone who tries to force food on you, or make you eat out of guilt?

You can eat whatever you want, but you also have the right (and need) to say no to food that you don't want to eat.  If that's tricky or you don't know what to say, try these ideas.

The eating disorder voice loves to have rules about what 'counts' for movement, and loves to tell you that whatever you're doing doesn't count.

Here's some tips for ways to talk back from your healthy self.

We're still looking for a part time receptionist to join us from April, so if you're interested, don't delay.

All the information you need is on the website, so no DMs please.
It's International Women's Day tomorrow - I'm doing this today while I have some free time.

The theme this year is about advancing women and inclusivity, and I think one of the ways we can advance is by seeing ourself as more than our appearance, knowing we have more to contribute are capable of so much more than being thin, pretty or perfect.
Hollie is pregnant and finishing in May, so I'm looking for a new receptionist.  Please feel free to share to your networks to help me find someone great.  Unfortunately, I can't employ current or previous clients for ethical reasons. 

All the information you need is on the website, so no DMs please.
Hollie is pregnant and will be leaving us in May, so we're on the hunt for a new receptionist to take her place, starting with a two-week handover in April.

We can't employ a current or former client, but do you know someone in your network who might be a good fit for me?  If you do, please share this ad with them.

Wishing you all a safe and restorative Christmas, and a wonderful year ahead.  See you from 4th Jan.
Hollie and I really enjoyed our staff (of 2) Christmas lunch on Friday at @ourtable_cafe. 

 It's been a big year for both of us in different ways, and it was lovely to spend a few hours together away from work. 

I can't believe Hollie only joined the team at the beginning of the year. She has made a really positive difference to me, and to the practice overall.  Just today she told me about a new system she has set up for contacting GPs, which is a great idea that made so much sense. 

And for those of you who remember Tarika, she did very well this year in her Masters of Professional Psychology training and has now been accepted in the Masters of Clinical Psychology programme for 2024, which is a fantastic achievement.
