Private and Discreet Binge Eating Disorder Treatment
Treating the Whole Person
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of the fridge, eating food you didn’t even want but couldn’t stop? Or have you experienced that overwhelming feeling of shame and guilt after devouring an entire bag of crisps or a pint of ice cream? If so, you may be familiar with binge eating disorder.
Binge eating disorder is a common but often misunderstood condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s not just about overeating once in a while; it’s a severe mental health condition that can significantly impact a person’s physical and emotional well-being.
But don’t worry; there is hope if you or someone you love is struggling with binge eating disorder. With proper treatment and support, you can overcome this condition and develop healthier relationships with food and your body.
At Addcounsel, we have an excellent understanding not only of the complete range of eating disorders, but also of how these compulsions can interact with other illnesses. We understand how sensitive and delicate these issues may be, therefore we provide discreet residential eating disorder treatment in a safe, private setting.
Our goal is to treat not only the symptoms of your eating disorder, but also to identify the underlying causes. World-class experts in a variety of professions – including psychotherapy, hepatology, nutrition, and a variety of other disciplines – will take a holistic, 360-degree approach, laying the groundwork for long-term recovery.
In the comfort and privacy of our discrete, luxury central London premises, our experienced team will assist and guide you through the entire procedure from start to finish.
What is Binge Eating Disorder?
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a mental health condition affecting millions worldwide. It is characterised by recurrent episodes of consuming large quantities of food in a short period, often beyond the point of feeling full. People with BED often eat when not hungry, hide food, and feel guilty or ashamed after a binge. Binge-eating episodes may occur privately, with people often hiding or hoarding food.
Causes of Binge Eating Disorder
The causes of binge eating disorder are not entirely clear, but research suggests that a combination of biological, environmental, and psychological factors may contribute to its development. Some of these factors include:
- Genetics: Research has shown that genetics plays a role in developing binge eating disorders. Studies have shown that those with a family history of eating disorders are more likely to develop BED.
- Psychological factors: Binge eating disorder is often associated with emotional distress, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. If you or someone you love suffers from BED you may use food to cope with your emotions or numb yourself from negative feelings.
- Dieting and weight loss: Restrictive diets and weight loss attempts can trigger binge eating episodes. People who have experienced weight cycling, or the repeated loss and regain of weight, are also more likely to develop binge eating disorder.
- Environmental factors: Societal pressure to be thin and cultural norms surrounding food and body image can contribute to developing binge eating disorders.
Symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder
The primary symptoms of binge eating disorder include:
- Eating large amounts of food within a short period, usually two hours.
- Feeling a lack of control overeating during the episode.
- Eating when not physically hungry.
- Eating alone or in secret.
- Feeling guilty, ashamed, or disgusted after a binge episode.
Other common symptoms of binge eating disorder include:
- Eating rapidly and not chewing food properly.
- Eating until uncomfortably full or experiencing physical discomfort from overeating.
- Hoarding food and eating in secret.
- Avoiding social situations that involve food.
- Depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders.

Luxury Binge Eating Disorder Treatment
Binge Eating Treatment
Binge eating disorder is a treatable condition, and early intervention can increase the chances of a full recovery. The goal of treatment for binge eating disorder is to help you stop bingeing and develop healthy eating habits and address underlying emotional and psychological issues.
Our team here at Addcounsel works closely with a multi-disciplinary team of eating disorder experts to design a highly individualised treatment program that is delivered, discreetly, in one of our residential properties in Central London.
Our treatment plans are likely to include:
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a standard treatment for binge eating disorder. Different types of psychotherapy can be effective, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). These approaches help you identify negative thought patterns and behaviours contributing to binge eating episodes, learn new coping skills, and develop healthier relationships with food.
Medication
Antidepressant medication may be prescribed to help clients that have depression or anxiety alongside binge eating disorder. These medications can help alleviate symptoms and improve your mood, making managing the underlying emotional issues that contribute to binge eating easier.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional counselling is an essential part of binge eating disorder treatment. Registered dietitians can help you develop healthy eating habits, develop meal plans, and learn how to make healthier food choices.
Support Groups
Support groups can be a valuable resource for people struggling with binge eating disorder. As part of our aftercare program, our team of coaches may introduce you to supportive and safe support groups, where you can share your experiences and receive encouragement and guidance from others who have gone through similar struggles.
Family-Based Therapy
Family-based therapy may be beneficial for children and adolescents with binge eating disorder. This approach involves working with your family to help them better understand the condition and support their loved one’s recovery.
At Addcounsel, treatment for binge eating disorder is tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. It may involve psychotherapy, medication, nutritional counselling, and support groups. The length of treatment can vary, depending on the severity of the disorder and how well an individual responds to treatment.
Preventing Binge Eating Disorder
While not all cases of binge eating disorder can be prevented, there are steps individuals can take to reduce their risk of developing the condition. Some tips include:
- Eating a balanced and nutritious diet
- Avoiding crash diets and restrictive eating
- Managing stress in healthy ways, such as through exercise or meditation
- Seeking professional help if experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues
- Avoiding using food as a way to cope with emotions
- Encouraging a positive body image in oneself and others
