Eating Disorder Multidisciplinary Approach

At Headway Psychology, we work together as a team to support you. This typically means that we provide evidence-based psychological treatment delivered by clinical psychologists and registered psychologists, specialised dietetic input, offer exercise physiology and body-focused interventions such as somatic movement and trauma-informed yoga, and collaborate with your medical professionals (e.g. GP, psychiatrist, paediatrician).

Exercise Physiology & Movement Therapy

Eating disorders and disordered eating can profoundly affect how we feel in and relate to our bodies. At Headway Psychology, we know that recovery is not just about food, it’s also about healing your relationship with your body and how it moves.

Our exercise physiology and movement therapy services are designed to support clients in developing safe, sustainable, and body-respectful approaches to movement. These sessions can help address challenges such as compulsive exercise, exercise avoidance, and trauma-related movement difficulties.

Our trauma-informed exercise physiologist has a special interest in eating disorders and works collaboratively as part of your care team.

Sessions can be offered as stand-alone support or integrated within your broader treatment plan. For continuity and convenience, we can schedule sessions alongside your individual psychology or dietetic appointments, either on the same day or alternating weeks.

Whether you’re seeking support to move away from harmful exercise patterns, reconnect with your body through gentle movement, or simply find a safe and compassionate space to start again, we’re here to help.

If you’re looking for an eating disorder-informed exercise physiologist in Perth, we’d love to support you.
