Bulimia is an eating disorder characterised by a pattern of repeated binge eating where a person feels a lack of control of their behaviour. People with bulimia also engage in behaviour which they hope will reduce weight gain, such as: vomiting, overuse of laxatives, fasting from food, excessive exercise, etc.

 

A large number of studies have now demonstrated that Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is often an effective treatment for bulimia. As the name suggests, CBT involves teaching people with bulimia techniques to alter their thoughts and behaviour. This assists them in breaking the cycle of the disorder and overcome associated emotional problems.

 

In our practice (Peter J. Allen & Associates) two of our Clinical Psychologists, Suzanne Dang & Dr Linda Nguy are the most experienced in our team in the treatment of bulimia and eating disorders. Suzanne works from Concord and Hurstville. Linda works from Concord only.
