One private 60-minute session. A real, personalised plan to finally break your binge eating pattern.
You know the cycle very well: diet and restrict >> binge >> guilt and shame >> diet and restrict again, and the cycle just repeats.
You've tried the diets, the rules, the resets, and maybe you've found temporary relief, but none of them every really stick. That isn't because you didn't try hard enough, it's because you were never meeting the root cause beneath the binge eating pattern.
In this session, we map your binge–restrict cycle and look at what your nervous system has been protecting you from all along. You'll leave understanding exactly what's driving your pattern, and how to work with your nervous system instead of fighting it, so you can finally stop binge eating for good.
Practitioner: Alex Bottomley, Somatic Practitioner
You binge eat, often alone, often at night, and afterwards you can't fully account for what happened between the first bite and the last. It just "happened" and you had no control over it.
You're living the binge–restrict cycle. You follow certain food rules during the day, and by evening the rules go out the window and you can't control what you've eaten.
You spend all day consumed by thoughts about food; what you've eaten, how much you've eaten, what you will eat later, how to control yourself, food about not being able to control yourself. The food noise is constant.
You've tried to end it through control. Rules, plans, sheer force of will. It sticks for a few days, and then your nervous system pulls you back and you're binge eating again.
You already sense the binge eating isn't really about food, but no one has helped you find what it's actually about.
The shame and guilt that you feel around food is very painful and it's something that you've been carrying for a long time, on your own. t
You don't want more control over your binge eating. You want freedom and a way of living that matches your bodies unique pace and rhythm.
This isn't a food plan, and it isn't the same advice that's already let you down. It's a one-to-one consultation built around your pattern, your history, and your life, so the plan you leave with actually fits.
The consultation happens over Zoom and most sessions naturally follow this flow.
We start with what your binge eating and relationship with food looks like right now, and what it is costing you. The nights. The secrecy. The mornings after. Most women have never said this out loud to someone who won't flinch.
Together we trace your pattern. The restriction, the build-up, the food noise, the binge, the shame that follows and restarts the whole loop.
We look past the eating to what your nervous system has been trying to communicate to you and the experience that's happening beneath the eating. Overwhelm. Loneliness. A body you've been at war with. Whatever it is, it's survival intelligence that we turn towards and listen to.
You'll be guided through a somatic practice in the session itself, so you feel the shift in your body, not just hear about it. You'll leave with a personalised plan naming the key steps you personally need to focus on and the actions to take first.
You already understand more about your binge eating than you're given credit for. What's missing is a clear plan for what to do next, built around your pattern rather than a stranger's.
A clear picture of your binge–restrict cycle: what feeds the restriction, what triggers the binge, and the survival response underneath both.
The key steps and specific actions most likely to build your capacity to feel and start interrupting the cycle, not a list of forty things.
A straight answer on what's likely to help, what may be quietly keeping the cycle in place, and what real healing looks like from where you're starting.
A written summary of your pattern and your plan, so nothing gets lost the way it usually does after a conversation like this one.
“For anybody questioning how much this will impact their life, it's a lot. Do this for yourself. You'll love yourself for it.”
“Before working with Alex, personal growth was always about mindset, logic and practical tools. This work helped me reconnect with my body, my humanity and a deeper source of wisdom. I now feel far more connected to myself and my life.”
“This has done for me in six months what years of talking therapy, yoga and journalling never did. I can now process emotions and experiences that had been locked inside me for decades. Investing in this work was one of the best decisions I've made for myself.”
If you choose to continue with one of my programmes — group, hybrid or 1:1 — within 30 days, your £75 consultation fee is credited in full toward it. A low-risk first step that counts toward the next one.
Sessions may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice. Missed appointments or late cancellations are non-refundable.
Bring honesty, curiosity, and a quiet space where you can speak freely. No preparation is required.
My work is designed for people struggling with their relationship with food — binge eating, restriction, emotional eating and body image concerns. It is educational and therapeutic in nature, and not a replacement for medical, psychiatric or emergency support. If you need urgent help, please contact your GP, or reach out to Beat, the UK's eating disorder charity, at beateatingdisorders.org.uk.
Everything discussed in our session is treated with care, professionalism and confidentiality.
Shame heals when it is witnessed. This is 60 minutes to be witnessed, and to leave with a plan.
