Rebuilding a Healthy Relationship with Food

At Storm's Edge Therapy, we understand the profound impact that eating disorders and a disordered relationship with food can have on every aspect of an individual’s life. Eating disorders, whether they manifest as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or other disordered eating patterns, are more than just about food. They often stem from deep-rooted emotional, psychological, and relational issues that require sensitive and expert support to address.
Under the care of Sonya Tsancheva, an experienced Clinical Psychologist who specialises in the treatment of eating disorders, we offer a compassionate, tailored approach to therapy. Sonya brings years of expertise in helping individuals who struggle with the psychological and emotional challenges associated with food, body image, and self-worth. At Storm's Edge Therapy, our focus is not only on addressing the symptoms but also on treating the underlying causes to ensure lasting change.
Understanding Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating

An eating disorder is not simply about a desire to be thin or to control weight. It often arises from a complex interplay of genetics, psychological factors, and environmental influences. Many individuals struggling with eating disorders report feelings of being out of control in other aspects of their lives, and disordered eating behaviours can become a coping mechanism for managing overwhelming emotions such as stress, anxiety, or depression.
Eating disorders may involve severe restriction of food, overeating, binge-purge cycles, or chaotic eating patterns. Additionally, those with disordered eating may not meet the full criteria for a diagnosable eating disorder but still experience an unhealthy relationship with food that significantly impacts their mental and physical health. If left untreated, eating disorders can have serious, long-lasting effects on both the body and the mind.
At Storm's Edge Therapy, we work closely with individuals to help them recognise and understand these complex emotional and behavioural patterns. By identifying the psychological and environmental factors that contribute to their eating disorder, we empower clients to build healthier, more balanced relationships with food, their bodies, and themselves.
A Personalised and Holistic Approach to Treatment

Every individual’s experience with an eating disorder is unique, and that’s why we believe in creating personalised treatment plans that address the specific needs and circumstances of each client. Therapy may involve a combination of psychodynamic treatment models alongside the 2nd and 3rd wave cognitive-behavioural
At Storm’s Edge Therapy, we also recognise that an eating disorder rarely occurs in isolation. Often, individuals may also be dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other psychological challenges. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the disorder. Our therapy sessions offer a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore the deep emotional roots of their eating disorder and begin the journey towards recovery.
Alongside therapy, we understand the need for support to include the physical aspects of eating disorders; therefore we are open to collaborating with nutritionists and medical professionals to ensure clients are supported from all angles. If you have additional external support, we will explore ways to effectively align our work together to prevent you from feeling pulled in different directions.
Compassionate Support for Long-Term Recovery

One of the key challenges in treating eating disorders is not only helping individuals to overcome their disordered behaviours but also equipping them with the tools and resilience to maintain their recovery long-term. Sonya Tsancheva and the team at Storm’s Edge Therapy are committed to offering ongoing support throughout this process.
We recognise that recovery is a journey and that setbacks may occur. That’s why we focus on helping individuals develop coping strategies that they can draw upon during difficult times. These might include mindfulness practices, emotional regulation techniques, and exploring healthier ways to manage life’s inevitable challenges without turning to disordered eating as a solution.
Our therapeutic approach is a place of empathy and understanding. We know that shame and guilt are often deeply entrenched in the experience of an eating disorder. By fostering a compassionate and open therapeutic relationship, we help individuals to break free from these negative cycles and build self-compassion, self-worth, and confidence.
