Expertise in Binge Eating Disorder & Overeating
Rj

Dr Richard Jenkinson, a renowned clinical psychologist, brings to York an approach to treating binge eating and overeating that’s been homed by years of clinical experience and research with people with eating disorders. With extensive experience across various age groups and clinical conditions, Richard’s therapy sessions are a confluence of understanding, empathy, and scientifically-backed techniques.

 

The Approach
Dr Jenkinson’s therapy for binge eating and overeating involves a blend of CBT-E (enhanced cognitive-behavioural therapy), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The aim is to not only address the symptomatic behaviours but also uncover and resolve the underlying psychological triggers and emotional states associated with them. The treatment is person-centred and tailored to each individual’s needs.

 

Holistic and Compassionate Care
Our services go beyond conventional treatments, focusing on holistic well-being and long-term recovery. By fostering a safe, non-judgemental environment, we empower individuals to transform their relationship with food and navigate the path to balanced, healthy living. We understand there can often be shame and guilt surrounding these issues and so we’ll work extra hard to make sure you know you’re in trustworthy, compassionate, non-judgemental and empathic hands.
