The London Centre for Eating Disorders & Body Image with Dr Bryony Bamford

In this week's episode, Han is joined by Dr Bryony Bamford. Bryony is a Clinical Psychologist who founded and now directs The London Centre for Eating Disorders and Body Image. The centre provides outpatient care for eating disorders, body image issues, body dysmorphia, and emotional eating in both children and adults. Operating for 10 years, it offers evidence-based and person-centred treatment and supports professionals in the field with training and supervision.

This week, we discuss:

  • The approach that the London Centre for Eating Disorders and Body Image take to supporting eating disorder clients & the importance of holistic, evidence-based treatment.
  • The role of an MDT team in eating disorder treatment.
  • The intersection between eating disorders and body image, and how for some this doesn't play a role.
  • The anxiety clinicians may have in working with body image, and how this can be missed in treatment.
  • The science behind why a reduced calorie intake causes distortions to your body image.
