Online Group Therapy for Binge Eating
These weekly therapy groups are designed for people who feel lost in their relationship with food. You might feel ashamed, confused, or exhausted from trying to ‘fix’ it on your own. These groups offer a space to be met with compassion, insight, and—perhaps most importantly—other people who get it.
Group therapy can be one of the most powerful ways to reduce shame. Hearing others put words to your own unspoken experience can create a kind of shift that’s hard to replicate anywhere else.
Why Group Therapy?
It’s understandable to feel uncertain about group therapy—especially if binge eating has been something you’ve kept hidden for a long time. You might wonder:
“Will people judge me?”
We’re all shaped by our own stories, and yes, we all make sense of things in different ways. But in group therapy, that difference becomes a strength. It helps us see things from fresh perspectives, challenge stuck patterns, and build deeper empathy.
“Isn’t individual therapy better?”
Both have value. But group therapy offers something unique—shared experience. Connection. The chance to help others as well as be helped. That kind of mutual resonance can be deeply healing in a way that one-to-one therapy can’t always reach.
“My situation is too unique – no one will understand.”
While your experience is uniquely yours, the pain of binge eating is something others in the group will know intimately. Time and again, group members express how powerful it is to finally feel seen, heard, and understood.
How Does the Process Work?
01 - You realise you’re not meant to do this alone
You’ve tried to figure it out by yourself, but nothing seems to stick. You’re tired of feeling stuck and ashamed around food. Something inside you knows it’s time to try something different.
02 - You fill out the application form
This isn’t a commitment—it’s a first step. I’ll ask a few questions to get a sense of where you’re at and what you’re looking for. This helps me make sure the group will be a supportive fit for you.
03 - We have a pre-joining chat
We’ll have a chat on Zoom so you can ask any questions and I can explain what to expect. If we both feel the group is right for you, we’ll get you started.
04 - You join your group on Zoom
Each week, you’ll meet with the same small group of people (max 7), all working through their own struggles with binge eating. You don’t have to share more than you’re comfortable with, and you won’t be put on the spot.
05 - You begin to feel less alone
Week by week, you’ll hear yourself in others. You’ll be reminded that your struggles make sense. You’ll discover new ways of seeing things—and of being with yourself. Shame begins to loosen its grip.
06 - You stay for as long as you need
There’s no fixed end date. Some people come for a few months, others stay longer. Along the way, you’ll have a one-on-one session with me every other month to check in on your process. You decide what you need.
Who is this group for?
This group is for you if:
You struggle with binge eating and feel stuck in a cycle
You feel isolated and ashamed about your relationship with food
You’re looking for something deeper than surface-level strategies
You’re open to exploring your experience in a safe, supportive space
You can commit to attending weekly sessions
- If you are taking GLP1 or other weight loss medications there is a separate group dedicated to anyone on these medications who also has a history of binge eating (Mondays 12noon).
If you’re unsure whether this is right for you, you’re welcome to apply—we’ll have a pre-joining chat to talk it through together. Please note, the groups not suitable for those with restrictive eating disorders or bulimia.
Costs and Next Step
The cost is £66 per week (£55+VAT).
This includes your place in the group and a one-on-one session with me every other month.
If you’d like to join, please fill in the short application form below. I’ll then be in touch to arrange a quick chat to make sure the group is a good fit for you.
