Coping Skills for Eating Disorders is a psychoeducational therapy group specifically designed for people with anorexia, bulimia, compulsive eating and other eating problems. The group is facilitated by two trained counsellors. It is a series of 10 weekly sessions, each centred on a relevant topic and geared to the development of a broad range of coping skills for promoting the process of recovery.
People with eating disorders often experience clusters of other life difficulties that may underpin or aggravate their problematic relationships with food. The Coping Skills group brings together tried and tested methods for identifying and tackling these interrelated issues. The sessions feature discussion, writing, worksheets, homework and other learning strategies that help group members identify coping skills they may already possess, in order to build them up and use them more regularly. Additionally, the group will promote the development of new skills while providing a confidential, personalized and encouraging environment for all members, promoting growth through mutual support, feedback and education.
The cost of the group is £50 for the entire series of ten sessions. Payment is made when the group starts.
