To access talking therapies, you will first need to complete a self-referral form.
We’ll ask for some information about the difficulties you are experiencing so our clinical team can understand how best to support you. We may contact you to discuss your referral before offering an assessment appointment.
At assessment, we’ll talk with you about what has brought you to SYEDA and what support may be most helpful. This is a collaborative conversation to help identify the most appropriate next step.
If talking therapy is suitable, you may be offered support or placed on our waiting list.
Talking therapies are available in Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster.
Our team is trained in a range of evidence-based approaches, allowing us to tailor support to individual needs.
Sessions of counselling can give you the opportunity to explore issues around your eating disorder, and can help you work through areas of distress and difficulty which arise. You may want to work on developing strategies for managing these feelings, and the opportunity to explore moving away from the disorder and finding other ways of coping with difficulties and uncomfortable emotions.
This is a programme of ten weekly sessions, for those with regular episodes of binge eating and bingeing and purging behaviours. The treatment is follows a manual which helps you identify some of the unhelpful beliefs and fears which may keep the disorder going and aims to help you to move towards reducing problem behaviours and move towards a more balanced relationship with food. CBT-T can be offered in a group or one-to-one setting.
